MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

OF THE

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

May 28, 1957

The May meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois was held in the State Office Building, Springfield, Illinois, on Tuesday, May 28, 1957, beginning at 1:15 p.m. By vote of the Board, the meeting was originally scheduled to be held on May 28 in Urbana, Illinois, but pursuant to the authority vested in him in the By-Laws of the Board of Trustees, the President of the Board ordered a change in the place of the meeting from Urbana to Springfield because a hearing on the University's appropriations bills for 1957-59 by the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Seventieth General Assembly of Illinois, had been scheduled for the same afternoon and both the hearing and the Board meeting required participation of several of the same University officials, including some of the Trustees. The following members of the Board were present: Mr. Wirt Herrick, Mrs. Doris S. Holt, Mr. Wayne A. Johnston, Mr. Park Livingston, Mr. Timothy W. Swain, Mrs. Frances B. Watkins. Mr. Cushman B. Bissell, Mr. Earl M. Hughes, Mr. Vernon L. Nickell, Governor William G. Stratton, and Mr. Kenney E. Williamson were absent. Also present were President David D. Henry, Vice-President and Provost Henning Larsen, Dr. H. E. Longenecker, Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges, Director C. S. Havens of the Physical Plant Department, Mr. Ralph F. Lesemann, Legal Counsel, Mr. C. E. Flynn, Director of Public Information; and the officers of the Board, Mr. H. O. Farber, Comptroller, Mr. C. W.
