AGREEMENT W I T H ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO FOR CUSTODIANSHIP OF PAINTINGS (7) From time to time the Art Institute of Chicago has loaned the University paintings and other works of art for public exhibits. There are now in the Illini Union Building a number of valuable paintings on loan for an indefinite period. Officials of the Art Institute have requested the University to set up a formal plan for custodianship of paintings and other works of art which may be sent to Urbana-Champaign in the future. This was approved in principle by the Executive Committee of the Board on August 29, 1950. I now request authorization of an agreement with the A r t Institute of Chicago as a basis for such a plan, the details of which are outlined in a memorandum hereby given to the Secretary of the Board as a matter of record. President Stoddard presented and discussed the details of this plan. O n m o t i o n of M r s .
