an expedition by the Leander McCormick Observatory, to

budget of 1923-24.
A petition was presented from the members of the faculty
residing on East Lawn calling attention to the fact that for
more than three months, during the past winter, while the hot
water system of heating was being installed, their respective
houses were not supplied with the necessary heat, forcing them
to purchase considerable fuel supplies, to remedy the deficiency,
and requested a deduction of 25% from the regular
charge, which was granted.
The Bursar brought to the attention of the Board the
following communication from Mr. I. McD. Garfield, Trustee
of the Arthur W. Austin Estate.
