President Karraker reported that seven members of the Board had met with Governor Horner in his office at his request, in order to give the Governor an opportunity to discuss the budget of the University from his standpoint. He said that the Governor had urged the necessity of a reduction in the budget, without specifying any amount, that several items had been discussed, and that the Governor had asked that a committee of the Board meet with representatives of the State Department of Finance, to be selected by the Governor, to confer with Mr. Morey at the University to go over the budget to see whether there were any possibilities of reduction.
