FEBRUARY MEETING, 1938

The hospital buildings on Catherine Street were designated, from
this date, as follows (R.P. 1923-1926, p. 888): Palmer Wards and
Surgical Wards as West Hospital; Contagious Unit as Contagious
Hospital; and Maternity Ward as Maternity Hospital.
Assistant Secretary Watkins notified the Regents that Dr. F. F.
Blicke, working under the Parke, Davis and Company Pharmaceutical
Chemistry Grant for 1937-1938 (p. 356) has applied for a patent
for his invention entitled "Aryl Amino Compounds." Application was
made January 14, 1938. The Regents approved assignment by Dr.
Blicke of this patent to the Regents and authorized in turn the President and the Secretary to execute, in behalf of the Regents, an exclusive license to Parke, Davis and Company to manufacture under the
patent, the arrangement being similar to that between Frederick
Stearns and Company, of Detroit, and the Regents in November,
1930 (R.P. 1929-1932, p. 493). Parke, Davis and Company, under the
license, are to pay royalties to the University to a total of 5 per cent
of all the product sold under the patent, these royalties to be divided
half and half between Dr. Blicke and the College of Pharmacy,
which will use its share for further research.
The Regents requested an explanation of the fact that the extension to the University Health Service building, authorized in May,
1937 (p. 232) had exceeded the estimate of $5,000 by an additional
sum of $1,604.57.
The Regents declined to approve the request of James Mebane,
a student, to register as a resident of Michigan.
The Board disapproved the suggestion of the Lawyers Club that
a firm be given quarters within the Lawyers Club for carrying on the
business of cleaning and pressing clothing of the residents of the
Club.
An error having been made in the description of property conveyed to the City of Ann Arbor under authority given in November,
1930 (R.P. 1929-1932, p. 488), the Regents authorized execution by
the President and the Secretary of a quit-claim deed, satisfactory to
the City, conveying the following corrected description:
