MIDWEST INTER-LIBRARY CORPORATION The Midwest Inter-Library Corporation was incorporated on March 5, 1949, under the Illinois General Not For Profit Corporation Act. The purposes of the organization are to establish and maintain an educational, literary, scientific, charitable, and research inter-library center; to provide and promote cooperative, auxiliary library services for nonprofit educational, charitable, and scientific institutions; to establish, conduct, and maintain a place or places for the deposit, storage, care, delivery, and exchange of books, pamphlets, photographs, motion-picture film, phonograph records, and other articles or documents containing written, printed, or recorded matter, and services of all kinds with respect thereto, and circulate and distribute any and all educational, literary, scientific, or scholarly publications, books, catalogs, and periodicals dealing with books and other material deposited in said library or available in participating or other libraries. The Board of Directors of the new corporation are: President E. C. Colwell, University of Chicago; President Henry T. Heald, Illinois Institute of Technology; Provost Coleman R. Griffith, University of Illinois; Director R. E. Ellsworth, University of Iowa; Judge Ora L. Wildermuth, Gary, Indiana; Dean J. H . Nelson, University of Kansas; Dean W. H .

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the new corporation on March 9, 1949, President E. C. Colwell was named Chairman of the Board and Provost Coleman R. Griffith as Vice-Chairman. T h e Board approved the Bylaws of the Corporation, instructed the Executive Committee, composed of the Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, President Heald, VicePresident Middlebrook, and Director Ellsworth to accept, on behalf of the corporation, an unrestricted gift of $500,000 from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, to accept a contingent gift of $250,000 from the same corporation, and to seek ways and means of removing this contingency by securing an additional gift of $250,000 from some other source. T h e Rockefeller Foundation of New York is known to be interested in the project and a petition will be addressed to this Foundation for an appropriation of $250,000 to the Inter-Library Center.
