:Pear president Snyder: 

The undersigned committee appointed by the State Board to'report upon the 

matter of the request of the Union Literary Society to enlarge their building and 
;the request of the Delphic Literary Society for a site upon College property for 
building purposes, submit the following report: 

Upon request of this committee, Secretary Brown searched the records of the 

State Board meetings and did not find that permission had ever been given to 
a literary society to erect upon College property, a building for the combined 
purposes of literary meetings and living accommodations. • Records were found which 
!favored the erection on the campus of buildings by societies for literary purposes 
:c.nly. 

.::.;..•

_ 

Since there seems to be no legislation by the State Board of Agriculture, 

ibearing upon the matter, the following is suggested:  J 

There are now eight literary  societies owning or renting buildings lG.cated 
! off the campus for meeting and living purposes.  Most of these have been very 
irecently built or rented.  Probably all of these societies would have desired a 
site upon the campus for their building; possibly soiie of them did ask for this 
privilege.  To grant such a privilege to societies now would appear as unfair 
or as a discrimlnaticn against those societies who have recently erected houses 
off of the campus. 

i 

This committee is of the opinion that it would be unwise to appropriate any 

site upon the campus for the erection of a building that would involve a long 
time lease and likely to become permanent and to be enlarged.  The future  demands 
of the College for the site for College purposes may become very urgent. 

That for the College tc sell to the societies such commodities as heat, light 

and sewerage privileges might lead to embarrassing situations. 

In view of the above, we suggest that the Union Literary Society be not en 

couraged to enlarge their building and that the request of the Delphic Literary 
Society be denied. 

Respectfully submitted,

President J. L. Snyder:-

May 19, 1915. 

Seme time ago I received a communication from you urging affiliati-on between 
the Agricultural and Engineering Divisions with respect to such lines cf wcrfc as 
might be included under Agricultural Engineering.  The matter was presented to. 
the Agricultural Division faculty wni disappointed a special committee, the report 
of which was adopted later and a copy placed in your hands.  The following is 
a copy of the report, viz: 

"Your committee has to recommend  that a committee consisting of the Dean cf 
Agriculture, Dean of Engineering, Head of the Farm Mechanics department and the 
President of the College shall be appointed.  The duty of this committee shall be 
to consider  the relation of Farm Mechanics and Agricultural Engineering to other 
departments of the 
regard to the same. 

College and to maKe suggestions and recommendations'with 

The Dean cf the Engineering Division has signified his approval of this 
report and expressed a willingness to cooperate with the agricultural division ' 
relative to matters pertaining to agricultural engineering.  You may, therefore, 
consider that relations cf affiliation between the two divisions have been 
established.  The committee  is- willing to undertake promptly a consideration-of 
possibilities cf readjustment relative to work already established.  It also feels 
that there are great possibilities for the establishment of  nevr lines cf wcric 
along both investigational and extension lines.  The committee can report relative 
to some new projects by the end cf this fiscal year before which tlme^-no funds 
will be available for their establishment.  We 
of opinion from the State Board of Agriculture 
financial support for new projects which maybe 

7/ould appreciate an expression 
relative to the possibilities cf 
submitted for their approval. 

Yours respectfully, 

v  — 

R. S. Shaw.
