HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL SERVICE FEE AND INSURANCE AT CHICAGO UNDERGRADUATE DIVISION (12) In 1943 (Minutes, April 29, 1943, page 325), the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation for an assessment of a uniform hospital and medical service fee of $5 a semester against all students in the Urbana departments. Exempted are certain groups of part-time and nonresident students, students who are also on the staff, and others who present evidence that they have insurance providing the same benefits as those provided by the University plan. On July 30, 1946 (Minutes, page 18), the Board approved an insurance contract for this service with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. The Dean of Students has recommended that this fee and the service which it covers be extended to all students in the Undergraduate Division at Navy Pier in Chicago under the same conditions as those applying in the Urbana departments. T h e Dean of the Division and the Provost concur in this recommendation. The Liberty Mutual Insurance Company is willing to extend this policy for 1946-1947 to include this added division (as well as the Galesburg Division if established) at the same rates as previously quoted for Urbana. T h e Comptroller recommends that this offer be accepted. I concur in these proposals and recommend that hospital and medical services and the uniform fee assessed for this purpose be extended to any undergraduate divisions of the University established at locations other than Urbana.

INSURANCE O N NOYES LABORATORY (13) One policy of fire and extended insurance on the Noyes Laboratory requires renewal on October 1, 1946, covering the building for $59,648 and contents for $30,727. In addition there is other insurance on the building amounting to $258,352 and on contents amounting to $133,273. The policy is for five years on an 80 per cent co-insurance basis. T h e insurance is on a 75/25 per cent ratio between stock and mutual insurance companies, in accordance with the rules of the Board. Renewal of this insurance in a stock company is necessary to preserve this ratio. All agencies quoted a uniform premium of $1,092.02. The Purchasing Agent's office recommends that the insurance be placed with the Westchester Fire Insurance Company through the DeLong Insurance Company of Champaign, in order to maintain an equitable distribution among agencies and companies. T h e Comptroller requests approval of this recommendation. O n m o t i o n of M r . M c L a u g h l i n , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a d o p t e d .
