T h i s r e p o r t w a s r e c e i v e d for r e c o r d . QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER (17) T h e Comptroller presents his quarterly report to the Board as of December 31, 1948. Copies of this report have been sent to all members of the Board in advance of this meeting. This report was received for record. ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES OF NEW BUILDINGS (18) It would be an advantage to start preliminary studies of some of the projects included in the building program for 1949-1951 on which no work has yet been done. I asked the Building Program Committee to advise me on how any funds that can be made available for such work prior to July 1, 1949, can best be used. The Committee recommends that: 1. An assignment of $50,000 be made to start preliminary studies of the Biology Building, first unit; Educational Laboratories Building, Psycho-Educational Clinic Division; and Law Building. 2. The firm of Holabird and Root and Burgee of Chicago be employed for these studies on a cost-plus basis subject to these conditions: (a) a maximum fee of not to exceed $50,000; (b) services may be terminated at any time; and (c) employment is limited to preliminary studies and the University reserves the right to employ other architects for further work on these projects. Payment for these services will be on the basis of actual salaries plus 1.3 times that amount for indirect costs and commission, plus such direct expenses as blueprinting, telephone calls, and travel. The work will be carried on as directed by the University and only until such time as the University may direct that it be stopped. T h e appropriation herein recommended is much less than will be required to complete preliminary plans. A larger amount is not being recommended at this time because $50,000 will take care of all work which can be done immediately. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the employment of Holabird and Root and Burgee was authorized under the conditions recommended, and the appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Mr. McKelvey, Mr. McLaughlin, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Dr. Luken, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Stevenson.
