BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVOLVING FUND IN DENTISTRY

[October 10

(5) At the meeting of September 18, I presented a request from Dean Noyes of the College of Dentistry that the proceeds of the extension work in Dentistry and the Orthodontia course be put into a revolving fund for the maintenance of those lines of work. As you are aware, the creation of a revolving fund, according to the accountants, means that the receipts from the operations of the activities concerned go into a separate fund and are used to meet the expenditures of that activity alone. Expenditures must correspond with receipts and cannot exceed the total amount thereof. Inasmuch as no one can anticipate what the amount of the receipts will be and inasmuch as the expenditures expand with the receipts, an appropriation of a definite sum is impossible and in no business house that I know anything about is any further action taken than to appropriate the receipts from the particular revolving fund to the purpose of such fund. You authorized the establishment of this fund requested by Dean Noyes. Inasmuch as the question of making an appropriation was raised at that time, in order to make the records technically complete, I now recommend that you appropriate the proceeds of the revolving funds in extension and orthodontia courses in Dentistry, when they begin to come in, to the purposes of these courses, the limitation being that under no circumstances shall the amount of receipts be exceeded by the expenditures. O n motion of D r . Noble, this appropriation w a s m a d e , b y the following vote: A y e , President Armstrong, M r . Barr, M r s . Busey, M r s . Evans, M r . Fisher, M r s . Grigsby, D r . Noble, M r . Simpson, M r . Trees; no, none; absent, M r . Blair, M r . E m m e r s o n . ADDITIONAL ASSISTANTS IN PHYSICS (6) A request from Professor F. W . Loomis, Head of the Department of Physics, concurred in by Assistant Dean Jordan of the College of Engineering, acting for the dean, for an appropriation of $1250 to provide for the salaries of four one-quarter-time assistants (being equivalent to one full-time assistant) for the Department. Since this was an emergency matter, I authorized the addition of this amount to the budget and approved the appointment of the necessary additional assistants. I request confirmation of m y action in the matter. O n motion of M r s . Grigsby, the action of the President w a s confirmed. T h e appropriation from the Reserve a n d Contingent F u n d w a s m a d e b y the following vote: A y e , President Armstrong, M r . Barr, M r s . Busey, M r s . Evans, M r . Fisher, M r s .

PROMOTION OF MISS VIRGINIA H. WEAVER

(7) Miss Virginia H. Weaver, Associate in the Department of H o m e Economics, is not satisfied with her reappointment as Associate at a salary of J2800 and asked m e for a review of her case. After conference with the Dean, the Acting Head of the Department, and others, I desire to recommend that she be given the rank of Assistant Professor without change of salary. O n motion of M r s . E v a n s , this recommendation w a s adopted.

SALARY OF HAROLD D. TRIMBLE, ASSISTANT HIGH SCHOOL VISITOR

(8) When the budget was made up, Professor Clevenger, High School Visitor, recommended that the salary of Mr. Trimble be made $4,000, instead of $3,600 as i was. t I would have concurred in the recommendation and advised the increase but for the fact that at about this time certain rumors came to me concerning the methods of inspection followed by Mr. Trimble. For that reason I held the matter up. Since that time I have thoroughly investigated the whole case and a m of the opinion that there was no sufficient ground for the criticisms made and that the attack on Mr. Trimblecurrent academic year, effective as now request that his salary be made $4,000 for the was unjustified. For that reason I of September 1, last.
