BIOGRAPHY OF PRESIDENT ANDREW SLOAN DRAPER (4) Some years ago President Kinley suggested to Mr. Harlan H. Horner. Assistant Commissioner of Education of the State of New York, that he write a biography of former President Andrew Sloan Draper. On February 13, 1920 (Minutes, page 135), the Board approved the general policy of publishing biographies of former presidents of the University. Mr. Horner was on the staff of the University during President Draper's administration and served as his secretary for many years, both here and after he became Commissioner of Education of the State of New York. Mr. Horner has been working on this biography during his free time and recently spent a week at the University going through letter files and other documents of the Draper administration. He expects to finish the manuscript by January 1, 1934. The Director of the University Press estimates that the manuscript will make a book of about three hundred pages and it will cost approximately $1,800 to print and distribute an edition of one thousand copies. Any receipts from the sale of this book will accrue to the general fund. I recommend that publication of this biography be authorized and that an appropriation of $1,800, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be made from the Reserve and Contingent Fund for this purpose. O n motion of M r . Barr, this publication was authorized, the appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, M r . Armstrong, M r . Barr, Mr. Blair, M r s . Freeman, M r s . Hopkins, M r . K a r r a k e r , Mr. T r e e s ; no, n o n e ; absent, Mr. Barrett, M r . H o r n e r , D r . Meyer, Mr. Williams.
