MISCBLLAHEOUS, c ont inued 3- It is recommended that the Board give consideration to the possibility of establishing a con- tinuing visiting professorship to make it possible to bring to our campus a truly distin- guished personality each year, and that there be available an annual appropriation of up to $15>000 to make this possible. It is recommended that the visiting professorship be avail- able in any of the Schools of the institution and that the visiting professorships may be for periods of less than one year to permit in some instances bringing more than one personality t^.vthe--ca?Tipus during a college year for a portion of that year. It is recommended that the first of these professorships be available for the college year 1953-5^.

Authorisation is requested to permit the acceptance of funds from County Boards of Supervisors to be used for the employment of additional field workers in the county providing the funds* On notion of Mr. Brody* seconded by Miss Jones* it v/as voted to approve this item and to request the Bean of Agriculture and the Director of Extension to develop for Board consideration a pattern for allocation of a field staff paid with college funds on the basis of the appropriations made by the legislature for the 1953-5^ year. 5- It has been common practice for twenty years or more for the President and Secretary to sign all contracts on behalf of the Board. In searching the Board records* we find no formal authorisation for this procedure. It is therefore recommended that the Board through this formal action authorize the President and Secretary to execute contracts on behalf of the Board, and the Treasurer to act for either of them when required to do so through absence or incapacity of. either of them. On motion of Mr. Mueller, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve the above item, 6.

At the last Board meeting, it was suggested that the President bring in to this meeting an answer to the repeated request of the Michigan Press Association that the Board meetings be opened to the members of the press. A meeting has been held with Mr. Alleman of the Michigan Press Association and Mr, Sehuyler Marshall, a former director of that Association in the absence of Mr. West who is out of the state. It is suggested that this Board notify the Michigan Press Association of its willingness to agree to the request under the following conditions: a. That representatives of the press accredited by the Michigan Press Association will be invited to attend meetings of the Board. It is understood, however, that the Michigan Press Association will accredit only experienced newspaper personnel, and this privilege is not to be extended to students. b. That the Board reserves the right to hold executive sessions prior to the regular Board meetings to discuss policy, personnel, or other confidential matters, v/ith the understanding that policy decisions reached at these meetings will be isade available to the press prior to or during the regular Board meeting, c. That this arrangement will continue on a trial basis for a period of six months subject to re-examination by the 3oard and the committee of the Michigan Press Association at that time.

The President discussed \fith the Board the matter of requiring the Dean of Agriculture to live in a college house in the middle of the college farm. This item had previously been approved in principle but it now develops that the remodeling of a house proposed for this purpose is going to cost materially more than was anticipated. On motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted not to require the Dean of Agricul- ture, as a condition of employment, to live on the college farm for at least a two-year period, July 1, 1953 through June 30, 1955- The meeting adjourned at 2:^-5 p.
