ROBBERY AT BUSINESS OFFICE OF CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (19) The Business Manager of the Chicago Professional Colleges reports through the Comptroller that on the morning of June 17, 1948, at about 11:00 a.m., armed robbers held up the Business Office of the University at the Chicago P r o fessional Colleges and robbed the Business Office of the following valuables: 1. Currency and coin $2 238 00 2. Receipts for advances as a result of adjustments due to resignations and travel advances 385 27 3. Possible loss due to loss of powers of attorney authorizing the endorsement of State warrants 2 446 83 Item 2 represents only that portion of a total of about $800 of papers taken which it has been impossible to replace. Additional replacements may come to light on these items. Item 3 represents powers of attorney attached to receipts of authorization for endorsing salary warrants from individuals leaving the University after payrolls were prepared. These enable the cashier to replace the amount advanced and credit the difference between that and the warrant to the department to which it was originally charged. It will probably be possible to replace to a considerable degree, and perhaps fully, all of these documents. Item 1 is completely covered by insurance but not items 2 and 3.
