BOARD or TRUSTEES

[September 28,

SALARY OF DR. ISAAC SCHOUR (9) A recommendation that the salary of Dr. Isaac Schour, Associate Professor of Histology, be increased to $5,000 effective October 1, 1935. Dr. Schour has been approached with a very attractive offer. Dr. Schour's value to the University as a teacher and an investigator is unique. His researches in this field have been nationally recognized and appreciated, not only in the medical and dental fields, but also in a number of the ancillary sciences. His loss would not only cripple the College of Dentistry in its program of teaching and research, but would injure its prestige as well. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this recommendation was adopted.

APPROPRIATION FOR RADIO STATION

(10) A recommendation that an appropriation of $762.50 be made from the General Reserve Fund for the payment to Jansky and Bailey, Consulting Radio Engineers, for engineering services rendered the University between June 10-12 and August 10-17, JP35, inclusive, for preparation of evidence and exhibits for hearing, and on August 13 and 14, 1935, for attendance and presentation of testimony at hearing before the Federal Communications Commission on the University's request for a new wave-length allocation or increased power. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.

REAPPROPRIATION OF INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH F U N D

( n ) By action of the Board of Trustees the estimated balance of $1,600 as of June 30, 1935, in the Industrial Agricultural Research Fund was reappropriated until September 30, 1935. This fund has been carried forward from year to year in the past, and I recommend, therefore, that the balance in this fund be reappropriated and be made available until June 30, 1936. On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.

APPROPRIATION FOR BUILDING STUDIES

(12) A recommendation that an appropriation of $5,000 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Physical Plant Department for "New Building Studies," this fund to be subject to release for specific projects by the President of the University. Such a provision is needed to cover the expenses of building studies contemplated in the near future. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.

REVISION OF EXTENSION SERVICE BUDGET FOR 1 9 3 5 - 1 9 3 6

(13) As a result of the passage of the Bankhead-Jones Act by the last Congress, appropriating additional funds for extension work in agriculture and home economics, it has been necessary to revise the Extension Service budget for 1935-1936. The Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the Agricultural Extension Service submits the following supplementary budget, involving only Federal funds, which is recommended for approval. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this budget was approved as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williams ; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Wieland.
