THE UNIVERSITY OF KANS«aS
Lawrence
Office of the
Chancellor June 3, 1946

TO HEADS OF LABORATORY DEPARTMENTS:

You may be wondering just how departments will
receive funds to replace laboratory fees which are abolished
under the new fee schedule which goes into effect with the
1946 summer session. Under this new plan all incidental
fees are increased $15 a semester, excepting medicine
where the increase is higher, and the various laboratory
fees and course charges are abolished, This means that
departments no longer will have deposited to their main~
tenance accounts the fees paid by students enrolled in
the laboratory courses. To compensate for this loss of
income, the University will deposit to your maintenance
account an amount equal to the estimated fee income shown
in the maintenance report fund which you submitted to the
Budget Committee at your annual conference this spring.
Experience may actually show that your estimate was
either too low or tm high. It is our plan to review the
figure at your departmental budget conference next spring
in the light of the actual enrollment, and to make what
adjustments will be necessary.

The amount of money to be transferred to your
department under this plan is 250D0O—_ °

Sincerely yours,

RAYMOND NICHOLS
Executive Secretary
