Southern Illinois University trustees named Mersinger and Allison CPAs of Springfield and East St. Louis to audit the 1949 50 fiscal year. An earlier agreement with the Department of Registration and Education and the State Auditor’s Office splits the cost, with the auditor paying full cost in 1949 and the university likely covering two thirds in 1950.
