APRIL MEETINGS
Mr. Livingston called attention to the decision of the Board at its meeting
on February 18, 1958, to hold the April meeting on Thursday,
April 17, 1958, at the Dixon Springs Experiment Station. He suggested
that for reasons of business expediency, and for the convenience
of some of the Trustees, the Board might wish to reconsider its
decision.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Board voted to hold the April
meeting on Thursday, April 17, 1958, at Urbana-Champaign instead
of at the Dixon Springs Experiment Station, and the President and
Secretary of the Board were authorized to determine the hour and
place. It was the consensus of the Board that the May meeting scheduled
for Thursday, May 29, 1958, be held at Dixon Springs Experiment
Station but that final decision on this be deferred until the April
meeting.
The Secretary was authorized by the Chairmen of the Committees
on General Policy, Buildings and Grounds, and Finance to schedule
meetings of these Committees on April 17 in connection with the Board
meeting on that day.
