that, in the action taken on July 17, the Board had defined the term of office of Professor Link as head of the department. Thereupon, on motion of Mrs. Rader, the Trustees directed the Secretary to reply to Mr. Link, indicating that the Board reaffirmed its judgment that its action of July 17, 1974, defining his term of office as head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology, was appropriately based on the applicable section of the University Statutes; a n d that the section of the Statutes cited by him is not deemed applicable. OLD AND NEW BUSINESS Springer Lake Project, Allerlon Park At the request of the Trustees, the President asked Vice President Johnson to review briefly the current status of this subject. Mr. Johnson indicated that Mr. Walter Keith, Director of Robert Allerton Park, had been out of the country for some time. Mr. Keith had been in contact with the Corps of Engineers and appropriate State officers and will continue his discussions upon his return. It is anticipated that a comprehensive report will be available and will be presented to the Trustees in November. Mr. H a h n noted that, in a communication from a member of the Committee on Allerton Park, it is alleged that a Corps of Engineers' memorandum indicates under a section entitled "flowage easements" that "approximately 3,530 acres are requested to be purchased and 670 acres (Allerton Park) will be donated by the University of Illinois for a total easement acreage of 4,200 acres." Mr. H a h n expressed his concern that this statement, if it in fact appears in a document from the Corps of Engineers, is inaccurate and should be corrected. President Corbally stated that official notification of the inaccuracy will be made to the Governor and appropriate State officers. O n motion of Mr. Livingston, the Board directed that such a correction was in order and should be disseminated to the press and others.
