Report of
Pres* &  Sec
on placing
government
stallion at
this college

allotted by the war department for this year.  Your committee has decided that it
would be inadvisable for the college to- purchase uniforms which rcould become the
permanent property of a student or graduate*  Your* committee has offered the three
students loans to cover the costs mentioned for a period not to exceed two years*"

3.  Report of President and Secretary on placing of government stallion at this college

nAfter many years experience the Department of Horses of Michigan State College has
confined its efforts in breeding to two breeds of the heavy draft type, eliminating all
others of that class, and this procedure has been harmoniously accepted by horse
breeders generally.  The recommendation of Captain Voorhees approved by  Dean Cox re~
questing Michigan State College to lend its aid for the purpose of locating a govern-
ment remount stallion here has been given a careful consideration including conference
with Col. Rodney and R. S. Hudson.

In view of the fact that the College would have to assume the initiative of

application and later responsibilities, and also in viev/ of the fact that farmers
and horse breeders would not be likely to engage in this line of production, your
committee has decided against the participation of the college in this project at this
time.

Further inquiry by Colonel Rodney has resulted in the presentation of information to
the effect that if a stallion were placed at this college it would have to be cared for
and foraged by the Institution at their expense, with only a sufficient fee for ser-
vices to reimburse for the expense of maintenance.
