voted to give out the following statement: 

"Although President Shaw and the staff of the College have for 
the past four years been actively engaged in the work of reorganiza 
tion and readjustment for the pur-pose of greater efficiency and 
economy, all in the face of continually increasing attendance of 
student^ and although salaries at State College are lower than at 
many state institutions of the same class^ it is the belief of the 
President and members of the State Board that,the College should en 
deavor at this time to do its full share in assisting the State to 
balance its budget, and that to this end an earnest effort will be 
made to adjust the college budget to the proposed decrease as 
suggested by Governor Brucker in his message."
