BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[ A p r i l IO,

5. Effective September I, 1951, the University Library shall be given the responsibility of collecting library fines and charges for lost books and in those cases where such charges are not paid promptly, shall report them to the Bursar who will collect the charge and make an additional service charge of $1. It is the judgment of the Committee that these changes will simplify the work and substantially reduce administrative expense. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, these recommendations were adopted.
