It would seem perfectly clear from the foregoing  statement, that if the 

Board attempted to maxe or enforce  the limitation in question, it would  entail 
serious and perhaps  disastrous results,  it would render it impossible for this 
Board  to-perform its obligations to the state under the provisions of Section 2 
of Act Ho". 232, P. A. 1901, which still remains in full  force and effect.  It 
would render it impossible to carry out its obligations to its present  mechanical 
and engineering faculty and student body.  And it would  render it impossible for 
it to carry out its-obligations to the federal  government, and would  seriously 
endanger its title to the #120,000.00 it receives annually from the  federal 
government* 

1 

The board is advised by reputable legal counsel, and it believes  that 

under the constitution of the state, the legislature had no authority to enact the 
limiting provision hereinbefore  first referred to, and especially  that it had no r-_ , 
power to limit or determine  the use of the federal funds.  However, without in any 
manner accepting  the provisions of said limitation, and without waiving our right 
to insist upon its invalidity, we respectfully maxe the following  declaration of 
our intention in reference to said mechanical and engineering  department: 

(a)  We shall continue that department as now conducted and as it may 

legitimately grow and develop. 

(b)  We shall, as nearly as may be, in view of the accounting difficulties 

inherent in such cases, limit the annual expenditure of state funds in this 
-.department to #35,000.00. 

(c)  For the remainder of; the necessary  expenditures we shall use a 

sufficient portion of the funds of the federal  government. 

(d)  The Secretary is instructed to mail certified copies of this 

statement, and the action of the Board in reference thereto, to the governor, 
the auditor general, the state treasurer, the attorney general, and to the 
president of the senate and the speaker of the house.
