222 BOARD OF TRUSTEES vising Architect's Office in this connection were not in addition to the salaries received by the men in this office, but that it has been the custom of the University during the years when its building program was going forward to distribute the salaries paid for architectural services rendered by that office among the costs of the projects under construction. Uses of the House T h e University has few facilities outside this house for special functions, and it was, first of all, the University's recognition of that fact and for the need of such facilities which led to the development of plans for the house. Since its occupancy the house has been used for the entertainment of distinguished official guests who have come to the University for one reason or another from California on the west to France and Germany on the east. It has been open every Monday afternoon, and on these occasions have come week by week anywhere from thirty to one hundred and fifty or two hundred people, representing the faculty and community and near-by places, and including both men and women. Faculty and student functions of many kinds have been held there. In addition, large groups, representing State-wide or more than local interests have been entertained, for example, F a r m and H o m e Women, State Business and Professional Women, Rotary Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, etc. Attendance at some of these gatherings has run up to five hundred people. Furthermore, the house has from time to time been put at the disposal of special faculty, or faculty and community groups, who desired on some special occasion a place for a social meeting, the groups in such instances making their own arrangements and taking care of expenses. Naturally the house would be too large and too expensive to maintain -wtre it to be considered simply as a personal residence for the President. It is primarily in terms of official uses that the Board has always conceived it and that the attempt has been made to use it. This statement was approved and adopted. It was the sense of the Board that a copy be sent to each member of the General Assembly. APPROPRIATION BILLS (4) A statement concerning the appropriation bills. This statement was received for record. The Board adjourned. H. E. CUNNINGHAM EDWARD E. BARRETT Secretary President
