OPERATING BUDGET FOR 1 9 3 5 - 1 9 3 7 ( i ) As required by law, the University submitted a tentative budget for 10351937 to the State Department of Finance before November 1, 1934, following a careful study and consideration of the needs of the University which had been under way for several months. On November 10, 1934, the Board voted to secure "the services of a board or committee of qualified persons not connected with the University to survey the proposed budget as prepared by the University for the biennium 1935-1937, and report to the Board." Following conferences with the Governor, the Board retained the services of Dr. W. W. Charters, Director of the Bureau of Educational Research at the Ohio State University, and Mr. A r t h u r Andersen, of A r t h u r Andersen & Co., Auditors and Accountants, Chicago, to make this examination of the budget. On April 7, 1935, Messrs. Andersen and Charters sent to each member of the Board a summary of their conclusions. They and their associates then appeared at the Board meeting on April 10 to discuss their conclusions and their report in detail with the Board. At that meeting the Board instructed me to give careful consideration to the report of the Budget Survey Committee and to review especially the items relating to salary restorations and increases.
