MIIRIYES OF THE BOIARD OF TRUSTEES - Dec. 12, 1900 - page 23


      1.  That so much of said report as refers to buildings
be referred to the Executive Committee Ex-Officio - the
Building Comnittee.


      2. We agree with the President that there is inadequate
provision of funds to meet the annual expense of maintaining
the gymnasium and the imposition and collection of an annual
charge of $5.00 upon male members would be most reasonable
but, in our view, to exact such from State beneficiaries
would be inconsistent with the provisions of section fourteen
of our charter, providing that such students shall be entitled
to all advantages and privileges of the college free of
cost, except board.


      3. We approve the proposed visit of the President
to Washington, and recommend that necessary leave be given
him therefor, and that his expenses be paid by the college.


      4.  We recommend that power be conferred upon the
President in accordance with his suggestion touching the
matter of imposition of penalties for offenses set forth on
page. 4 of report, provided that suspension by the President
shall not exceed three collegiate days.


      5. We agree with President in his recommendation
that it shall be the declared policy of the Board of
Trustees that no modifications in salaries or appropriations
shall be made during the current collegiate year.

                     Respectfully submitted,
