                              RETURNING GIFTS


In certain instances, it may be difficult or impossible to
administer a fund under its original terms.  Procedures for
reallocating gifts are discussed in Section III: E.2. 

Additionally, Section 100.4(v) of the Standing Orders of The
Regents authorizes the President:

   . . . after consultation with the General Counsel, to return to
   the donor all or any unused portion of a gift of personal
   property, when the purposes of the gift have been fulfilled or
   fulfillment has become impossible or impractical and when
   alternative uses are precluded.

On June 5, 1969, this authority was delegated by President Hitch
to Chancellors and to the Vice President--Agriculture and Natural
Resources.  This delegation of authority remains in effect.
