The Chancellor January 14, 1943

Dr. Fe Cs Allen

Dear Dr. Allen:

It seems advisable to have on file for use in
connection with our legislutive requests, a detailed list
of the laboratory apparatus which University departments
would like to purchase next biennium but for which funds
are not available in the regular departmental maintenance
allotments. Will you please prepare a list of such needs
for your department and send it to the Chancellor's Office
within the next week.

Please make a complete but reasonable list of
the needs of your department. Each item should be siven
‘with enough detail to indicate the nature of the apparatus.
A price, or estimated price, should be given in each case.
Due to the rush of time, no effort should be made to secure
quotations. Approximation of the cost based on your
latest information will be satisfactory.

Do not list small items which normally you would
expect to purchase from your regular departmental allotment.

RAYMOND NICHOLS,
Executive Secretary
