Extension and Agricultural Research with the exception of a special item of $25,000.00 for the
new project in cooperation with the Tourist and Resort Industry; and $9^000*00 for special
fish research.  The end of the war makes it essential that the college operate within its in-
come and be prepared to handle the greatly expanded enrollment.  It was suggested that the

I 
\ 
•|  budget be approved as presented with the -understanding that within the Schools the allocation
of maintenance funds to departments and projects can be shifted upon the recommendation of the
j 
Dean and the Comptroller with the approval of the President, provided that the total of main-
! 
tenance funds within the School shall not exceed the total provided for in the budget.
