Since it is obviously in the best interests of the University and other beneficiaries of the trust that the lease be given the T e x a s Company and an Illinois trustee be appointed for that purpose, the Legal Counsel requests that he be authorized to file a petition in the name of the Board of Trustees of the University in the Circuit Court of Marion County, Illinois, for the purpose of having the Old National Bank of Centralia appointed as Illinois trustee of the trust created by the will. On motion of M r s . Holt authority was granted as requested.

President Livingston stated that he had been asked by a member of the press to request that copies of the reports and recommendations of the President of the University and other items on the agenda for meetings of the Board of Trustees be supplied to press representatives in advance of each meeting so that they would have an opportunity to study them beforehand. Mr. Hickman suggested that this request be referred to an appropriate committee of the Board for consideration. President Livingston referred it to the Committee on General Policy.
