APPROPRIATION FOR REMODELING SMITH MEMORIAL HALL (45) At the meeting of the Board on June 28 a number of recommendations were submitted from the Committee on Special Appropriations and NonRecurring Expenditures, but action on them was deferred because of the small balance in the General Reserve Fund. One of these was an item of $5,250 for remodeling in Smith Memorial Hall to provide much-needed offices and studios for members of the faculty. Since funds are now available I recommend that this appropriation be made.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Jensen, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Horner, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Wieland.
