Presidents Office 

September  lk$  1923 

10 o'clock A* M. 

W 

Present: President Shaw, Mrs. Stoclsman, Messrs. Atkins, Brody, Woodman, 

McColl, Mcpherson and Secretary Halladay. 

Tide minutes of the previous meeting, having  T^een in the hands of the 

members, were approved without reading. 

On motion of Mr* Brody, and carried by the unanimous vote of the members 

of the State Board of Agriculture, the following report was submitted to the State 

Administrative Board: 

September lU," 1923. 

Heport sub 
mitted to 
State Admin 
istrative Board. 

"Hon* State Administrative Board, 
Capitol Building, 
Lansing, Michigan* 

Gentlemen:-

This  Board is in receipt of your communication of July 12f 1923, 

addressed to Mr. E. K. Ealladay, Secretary of the Michigan Agricultural College, 
in which it appears that .certain recommendations made  \>y Mr. Charles J. Deland, 
Secretary of State, and a member of your board, were adopted by your board at a '" • "• 
meeting held on July 10, last, said recommendations being as follows: 

"!•  Iha.t" the general supervision of the extension 
work of the Michigan %ricultural College, together 
with the authority to hire county agents and all 
other employees and to prescribe their duties and 
fix their salaries, be placed by the State Board 
of Agriculture by proper resolution in the hands 
of the Dean of Agriculture of the College. 

f,2.  That county agents receive their entire salaries 
and expenses from the federal government, the state, 
or the several counties of the state, but from no 
other source. 

n$.  That the Dean of Agriculture submit to this hoard 
immediately a  revised "budget of salaries and expenses 
based as nearly as possible on the money available 
under the Smith-LeverxAct, the United States Depart 
ment -of Agriculture, and the state and county appro 
priations and if these funds are inappropriate to 
to carry on the work as outlined, the matter -be -referred 
to this board for further attention." 

In reply may we be permitted to state that the extension service of 
the Michigan Agricultural College is a cooperative enterprise with the United" 
States Department of Agriculture*  It is based on the Federal Smith-Lever Act of 
%7  5» 191^t *ke provisions of which Act were accepted without reservation by 
the State Legislature of Michigan (Act 65, Public Acts 1315)»  That law places 
the work done under the Act whSlly with the Land Grand Colleges.  The work done. 
under the Act may also be only such as is mutually agreed upon by the proper 0 
officials of the Land Grant Colleges, and the Pedreral Secretary of Agriculture* 
The plans for extension work in Michigan undei^the Act for the year 1923-23 had 
already been drawn up in accordance with^the -law and approved by both the Board 
of Agriculture and the Federal Government previous to July 1, and are now being 
put in operation. 

We note the suggestion of the State Administrative Board that the 

matter of the -general supervision of extension work and "the employment of 
extension officials be placed in the hands of the Dean of Agriculture.  The 
employment of the extension s^taff and the members of the college faculty and 
the approval of plans and policies of the college for the extension and all 
other lines of work are very clearly functions of theState Board of Agriculture 
which it has no right to delegate to other authorities*  The State Board of 
Agriculture is at a loss to understand how it can relinquish its powers as 
defined by the constitution and assumes that the State Administrative Board 
does not contemplate, such action as is indicated by the terms of its con*-
manication." The Dean-of AgHculture, -as a matter of fact, has'teen-made " 
.Acting President of the College for the ensuing year and in such capacity 
will make recommendations to the Board of Agriculture with reference to all 
college employes, but the responsibility for the employment rests as heretofore 
with the board itself. 

As to the suggestion that county agents receive all their salary 

and expenses from federal, state and county funds, we &ave for some time 
recognized this as desirable and are looking forward to some such an arrange 
ment as rapidly as funds from these public sources will .permit.  Increased state 
appropriations for extension work were asked of the State Legislature the past 
session for exactly this purpose, but the Legislature chose to limit the 
appropriations to §150,000 for the current year and $150,000 for I92U-25, and 
so far as the use of state moneys for this purpose is concerned the Board of 
Agriculture deems it proper to conduct this work within the limits of the 
appropriations made by the legislature. 

We take pleasure in again submitting to the State Administrative 

Board the extension budget of the College.  Under its provisions as prescribed 
by law the State Board of Agriculture made contracts during the month.of June with 
all of its employees for the-fiscal year beginning-July 1, 1923» and ending 
June 30, 192½.  This budget is the one agreed upon with the federal Department 
of Agriculture.  We, therefore,, cannot comply with your request for a revised 
budget. 

This Board has no desire 4r purpose of refusing to cooperate 
with the State Administrative Board when such action does not involve a 
surrender of the powers and responsibilities which the statutes and the 
constitution of this state place upon us, according to Act XI, State Constitution 
of Michigan and Act 2o9, 1909, as follows: 

"Act XI, State Constitution of Michigan: 
" ffSec. 7*  * * *  ^xe  rashers  thus elected and their 
successors in office shall be a body corporate to be 
known as  fThe State Board of Agriculture1* 

"Sec. S* * * The Board shall have general supervision 
of the College, and the direction and control of all 
agricultural college funds. 

«Act 26Qf I909: 
KSec. 2. The government of the Michigan Agricultural 
College shall be vested in the State Board of Agriculture. 

578' 

^Sec. 6» She State Board of -Agriculture shall have the 
general supervision of the Michigan Agricultural College; 
of. all appropriations made by the state or by congress 
for the support of said college, or for the support of 
the experiment station or any sub-station, or for any 
other purpose for which said college is created* 

f,Sec. 7.  The Board shall fix the salary of the president, 
professors and other employees, and shall prescribe 
their respective duties. 

^Sec. 9»  ^e  board shall direct the disposition of any 
moneys appropriated by the legislature or by Congress 
for the Agricultural College*!f 

.Therefore, in view of the express provisions of the Constitution which 
states that ^the general supervision of the Michigan Agricultural College funds," 
shall be in our hands, we cannot consider any proposals involving the surrender 
of our authority in the administration of the affairs of the Michigan Agricultural 
College. 

In consideration of the matter, as outlined .abx>ve and the urgent need 
of the college for the funds appropriated by the Legislature for carrying at the 
extension program as; agreed upon with the Federal Government, we trust that our 
recent requisition for $75tOOO.OO may be immediately honored. 

Very truly yours, 
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE
