BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[December 3

On motion of Mr. Mayer, the action of October 15, 1937 (page 540), making this appropriation, was reconsidered. On motion of Mrs. Freeman, the action of October 15, 1937 (page 540), was rescinded and the amount of $15,000 was restored to the General Reserve Fund.

APPROPRIATION FOR SCHOLARSHIPS A N D FELLOWSHIPS

(6) The Dean of the Graduate School has recommended that an appropriation of $50,000 be made for graduate scholarships and fellowships for 1938-1939. The revised legislative budget for 1937-1939 included an estimated provision °f $37»S°° 1 0 r graduate scholarships and fellowships. The actual appropriation for 1937-1938 was $35,600. The present budgetary income will permit renewal of this appropriation for next year, and it is possible that when the budget for 1938-1939 is made up funds for graduate scholarships and fellowships can be increased. I recommend the appropriation of $35,600 at this time with the understanding that this will be subject to increase, but not to exceed a total of $50,000, if other needs permit. On motion of Mr. Cleary, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland.

APPROPRIATION TO DEPARTMENT O F PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY

(7) A recommendation that an assignment of $400 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry for the purchase of teaching models to replace models stolen last year. The total loss, which was fully covered by insurance, was $1,216. The University received settlement in full, and the proceeds were deposited in the general funds of the University. Last year $300 was drawn from the amount recovered to replace a part of the models, and the Department now requests an additional $400 for further replacement of the lost teaching materials. On motion of Mrs. Plumb, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland.

The Department has requested $2,000 for this purpose, but $1,000 will be provided from the Special Equipment Fund of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. On motion of Mr. Mayer, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland.
