BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 18

APPROPRIATION FOR COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE (17) Appropriations for wages and expense and equipment of the College of Veterinary Medicine for the current year of 1945-1046 are practically exhausted (original budget $19,487). The sum of $2,291 in excess of unappropriated receipts remains to the credit of the Department of Animal Pathology and Hygiene, which on July 1 was transferred from the College of Agriculture to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Dean Rusk has indicated that this credit should be transferred to the new College, and Dean Graham requests that the sum be appropriated for the following purposes: General Departmental Expense $1 691 52 Wages 300 00 Equipment 300 00 Total $2 291 52 The Comptroller endorses this recommendation. I concur and request approval. On motion of Mr. McKelvey, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, M r s . Grigsby, Mr. Livingston, M r . McKelvey, D r . Meyer, M r . Nickell; no, n o n e ; absent, M r . Green, D r . Luken, Mr. McLaughlin, M r . W i l liamson.

APPROPRIATION TO COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

(18) A recommendation that a special appropriation of $1,500 be made to the College of Engineering for the publication of 5,000 copies of the Announcement, or catalog, of the College. This publication contains information on the requirements for admission to the College of Engineering and the courses and curricula offered. On motion of M r . Davis, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Davis, M r . Fornof, M r s . Grigsby, M r . Livingston, M r . McKelvey, D r . Meyer, Mr. Nickell; no, none; absent, M r . Green, D r . Luken, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Williamson.

INCREASED APPROPRIATION FOR REGISTRAR'S OFFICE

(19) Following the opening of the first semester in October, 1945, the demands on the Registrar's Office for services became very heavy. For several weeks that office was receiving an average of about 700 inquiries a day from applicants for admission, mostly veterans. Because of increased enrollment and special services to veterans, particularly in connection with certifying their eligibility for Federal benefits, the office expense and wages appropriation for that office for the current fiscal year has been exhausted. An increase in the appropriation to the Registrar's Office of $12,000, on a continuing basis (that is, $12,000 for this year, with a similar increase to be requested in the budget for next year), is therefore requested by the Registrar and concurred in by the Comptroller. I recommend approval. O n motion of M r s . Grigsby, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, M r . Davis, M r . Fornof, M r s . Grigsby, M r . Livingston, Mr. McKelvey, D r . Meyer, M r . Nickell; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Dr. Luken, M r . McLaughlin, Mr. Williamson.

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION FOR GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS A N D FELLOWSHIPS FOR 1 9 4 6 - 1 9 4 7

(20) The Board of Trustees on January 31, 1946, assigned $35,000 for graduate scholarships and fellowships for the academic year 1946-1047. When this assignment was requested by the Dean of the Graduate School he indicated that $55,000 could be used to good advantage, but I recommended to the Board an assignment of $35,000, the same amount as for the current year, with the expectation of giving further consideration to a supplementary assignment.
