BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 27

for

difficulties now faced in estimating the amounts of these transactions purposes of the State budget.

Form of State Appropriations to the University T h e form of previous appropriations from the Income F u n d has also been questioned by the Department of Finance, and it has been pointed out that the present method of appropriating the receipts of the Income Fund in a lump sum has been indicated as unconstitutional by three consecutive attorneys general. T h e Department of Finance has indicated that it will request some itemization of our Income Fund. One objection advanced to the present form of appropriation is that it provides a lump sum appropriation of approximately 2 5 % of the University's total appropriations. T h e Department of Finance has indicated that, in requesting an itemization of the appropriation from the Income Fund, it would be willing to provide the elasticity needed by a lump-sum appropriation of an amount considerably below the total amount of the Income Fund. Classification of Expenditures T h e Department is proposing a new classification of expenditures to replace the one now prescribed by the Finance Act. This is not objectionable so far as the general classification is concerned, since the appropriation headings would not exceed in number those now used. However, the detailed classification would place on us a considerable increase in clerical work and would be of no value whatever to us. The proposed plan will result in recording of our transactions in the Department of Finance and is in the direction of greater control by that department over University financial operations.

President Willard asked Mr. Morey to present this item. On motion of Mr. Livingston, this matter was referred to the Finance Committee for study and report.
