University Trustees will arrive today for two days of meetings and a formal party celebrating the mid-point of the capital campaign. The Trustees are expected to approve the many resolutions before them in this meeting, one of several held during the academic year. Today will begin with a breakfast meeting of the Investment Board, in which the Trustees will discuss various University financial matters, including the performance of the endowment. The Budget and Finance Committee should approve several resolutions, including allotting $416,000 for planning studies for the proposed Institute of Advanced Science and Technology. Other committees meeting today are the Committee on Academic Policy and the Committee on University Responsibility. The full Trustee Meeting will be at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in Vance Hall's Hoover Lounge. Resolutions and discussions that came up through the smaller committees will be dealt with in the full board meeting. The Committees on Student Life and External Affairs will also meet on Friday. The Trustee Committees on Development, Honorary Degrees and Facilities and Campus Planning are also meeting, but those sessions are closed to the public.
