1132 BOARD OF TRUSTEES EXECUTIVE SESSION [October 22 When the Board convened, an Executive Session was ordered to consider the following matters of business. INVITATION FROM T H E GOVERNOR The Secretary reported that the Governor and Mrs. William G. Stratton have invited the members of the Board of Trustees to be their guests at the Executive Mansion in Springfield at the time of the January meeting of the Board, and that Mrs. Stratton has suggested a number of dates which would be convenient. On motion of Mr. Nickell, this invitation was accepted for January 19. !954APPLICATION OF DR. GEORGE D. STODDARD FOR RETIREMENT ANNUITY Dr. George D. Stoddard has made application to the University Retirement System of Illinois for a retirement annuity effective February i, J 954The Law creating the System provides that a participant who has attained "at least the age of 60, or has attained at least the age of 55 and has been certified by both the Employer and the Board as being entitled to a Retirement Annuity" shall receive such an annuity. (The Board referred to in the quoted statement is the Retirement System Board.) Dr. Stoddard is fifty-six years of age and if his application is approved he is entitled to a retirement annuity of $119.91 per month beginning February 1, 1954, and continuing for life, provided his application for the same is approved by the University. In other cases of this kind, the President of the University has acted for the Employer (i.e., the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois) upon application for a retirement annuity, but since the employment relationship of the President is directly with the Board of Trustees it would seem appropriate that the Board or its Executive Committee should act upon Dr. Stoddard's application. Hence, it is being submitted to the Board for approval. The Acting President and the Acting Comptroller see no objection to approval of the application. On motion of Mr. Johnston, seconded by Mr. Bissell, this application was approved. LETTER FROM EUGENE QUAY The President of the Board presented a letter which he had received from Mr. Eugene Quay, 7512 Rogers Avenue, Chicago 26, Illinois, concerning the participation of the University's Legal Counsel in the hearings before the Krebiozen Investigating Commission. On motion of Mr. Bissell, the Secretary of the Board was instructed to acknowledge receipt of this letter and to inform Mr. Quay that it had been brought to the attention of the Board.
