"At a meeting held August  28th, 1918, this Board decided not to make a. 

report to the Michigan Budget Commission of Inquiry; this decision was 
R e s o l u t i on 
reached in the belief that  it was not the- intent of the Legislature to include regarding 
the Michigan Agricultural  College within the provisions  of the act creating 
the Commission.  The funds for the support  of the College  come  from the 
Federal  Government  as well as from the state, and the College  is engaged in 
certain  classes of work  such as agricultural  extension, experiment  station, 
and military  training, requiring  large  expenditures and conducted under the 
order and supervision of the Federal  Government, with which the State can 
have no financial interest.  The expenditures  of the institution are by 
tie  Constitution of the State placed within the exclusive  control of this 
Board*  The Annual printed  records of the College, which are public  and to 
! 
-which the Commission has access, contain in the-.fullest and most  complete 
detail the nature  and extent of the expenditures*  For these and other 
j 
reasons, the Board  does not now believe that the Legislature  intended to in-  j 
elude it among the institutions  covered by the act*  Nevertheless, not 
j 
wishing to have  even the appearance of opposing the Legislature  or other  State ; 
officers, and wishin g to avoid misconstruction of its purposes by the public, j 
the  action tsicen at said August meeting is hereby  rescinded and the Secretary  j 
{ 
is instructed to "forthwith make  such report  as may be required by the Com- 
j 
mission and to submit  to said Commission-fully  and freely all of-its books, 
papers, andovouchers, and to render all possible-information which it may 
j 
have and to otherwise assist  t^ae' Commission in its -inquiry and investigation* w ^.
