[October 23

proposes revising the increases in enrollment in the first-year classes as follows: Medicine, 24; Dentistry, 20; Pharmacy, 50. These increases will ultimately result in total enrollments approximately as follows: Number Total College per class enrollment Medicine 190 760 Dentistry 90 360 Pharmacy 175 700 Totals 455 1,820 This would mean a total increase of 376 in all colleges, instead of 516 as originally contemplated, plus any nursing and graduate students that can be accommodated. The architects, Pace Associates, the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges with the concurrence of the Deans of the Colleges, the Director of the Physical Plant, and the Comptroller recommend that: 1. All present bids be rejected. 2. New bids be requested on a reduced program of construction with the object of completion within the present appropriation. 3. Bids be taken on both (a) fixed price basis, and (b) cost plus a fixed fee with a guaranteed maximum, any savings below this maximum to be divided equally between the contractors and the University. I recommend approval. On. motion of M r . Grange, these recommendations w e r e approved.

ADDITIONAL F U N D S FOR EAST DENTISTRY-MEDICINEPHARMACY BUILDING

(26) President Stoddard stated that since the appropriation requested for this building was reduced by $800,000, this amount may well be considered an item of very high priority in requests for capital improvements for 1953-1955. Also, in order to provide for the minimum increases in enrollment contemplated, an appropriation, originally estimated at $500,000, will be necessary to remodel present quarters to be vacated by the College of Pharmacy for use by the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry. It should be recognized that in addition to the $800,000, funds present]y estimated at $2,383,029 will at some time be needed to complete the building in accordance with the original plans. This item will receive future consideration along with other capital needs of the entire University. O n motion of M r s . W a t k i n s , this statement was received for record.
