i j j i | \ ' ' ' : .MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE November 9; 195^ j The meeting of the Finance Committee was held at Kellogg Center. The following members were I present: ; Messrs. Akers, Baker, Brody, Rouse, Smith; President Hannah, Treasurer May and Secretary McDonel | Absent: Mr. Mueller, Dr. Taylor I 1. Recommendation from Scudder, Stevens & Clark that we purchase for the Rackham Fund $2000 U. S. Treasury 2|s due November 15, 1S&±, at approximately 95i to yield 3*53$ to maturity. This investment would be made with funds from maturing government bonds. i 2, Approval of the Detroit Bank and Trust Company as a depository for Michigan State University funds. At the present time we have authorized accounts with the Manufacturers National Bank of Detroit and the National Bank of Detroit. Since the Detroit Bank and Trust Company is now participating in our dormitory loans, it seems desirable to have an account with it also.' | 3. Authorization for the Comptroller to pay the Ann Arbor Trust Company the established fee of 3/8$ on the*$5,200,000 anc?*^4-,650;000 bond issues which were recently closed. There will be a slight reduction in the fee due to the fact that the Ann Arbor Trust Company charges only 1/8¾ on bonds placed in University trust accounts. In these two issues there was a total of $40u,000 placed with the University. j. j h. The Ann Arbor Trust Company has also submitted a bill for $3,720.½ covering the cost of printing the bonds and $1,327-31 for legal opinions from Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone. ! 5. Investment of Cash balances: At the Present time we try to invest surplus cash balances in government bills which are now yielding from 2.75 to 3*02. Last year interest on these balances amounted to about $100,000. Mr. May has been working with Mr. Cress in an effort to maintain this income and at the same time to increase our deposits in the Detroit banks, including a deposit for the Detroit Bank and Trust Company if the Board authorized the opening of a depository account. For the past several years investment in Treasury bills has ranged from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 At this time we would like to recommend that we acquire $2,500,000 of U. S. Treasury 2^-s due November 15j 19^1, at an approximate price of 95*12/32. This investment will produce a yield of 32$ ^° maturity, and it will allow us to increase our deposits in the Detroit banks approximately $500,000 without loss of interest income. I iOn motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve items 1, 2, 3^ a^d. 5- ;6. Loan commitment for Howard Johnson Restaurant in Bloomfield Township: Mr. May's office has been working with Mr. Herbert Meyer in Detroit on a loan which would be secured by a first mortgage on a Howard. Johnson Restaurant on Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Township. Details of the loan are as follows: a. $125,000 loan b. Interest at 6$ c. 15-year loan with monthly payments. &.:; Prepayments not to exceed $20,000 in any one year during the first three years. e. Loan to be closed after completion of construction and certification that all bills have been paid. f. Loan to' be with the Label Realty Company, a Michigan corporation. g. Principal stockholders will be a Mr. Cohen, who is a major stockholder in the Luc on Theater in East Lansing and many other real estate companies in Detroit, and a Mr Perey, who owns a corporation which does all of the catering for Buick Motors, A. C. Sparkplug Company, and other General Motors plants in Flint. h. The total project is estimated to cost $275^000 with $100,000 of this represented by land valued at $500 a front foot on Woodward Avenue. pn motion of Mr. Akers,- seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve item 6. 17. At the last meeting of the Board, Mr. May was instructed to obtain approval of Scudder, Stevens, & Clark for purchases recommended by the Detroit Bank and Trust Company for the Fee trusts. At a subsequent Board meeting, Mr. Harding advised that they had no objections to the recommendations of the Detroit Trust Company but that they would prefer to see investments made in two other companies which would result in slightly lower yields but more chance of appreciation in the investments. Mr. May now has approval from both the Detroit Bank and j Trust Company and Scudder, Stevens & Clark for the following investments: Trust No. 20100 Purchase 100 shares of Indianapolis Power and Light at approximately 29-3½ to yield 5.15 Trust No. 21169 Purchase 240 shares of Consumers Power at approximately k-9^ to yield if.60.

Approval of the Report of the Finance Committee on the preceding pages. ^Approval of 1Finance •Committee Report On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Dr. Smith, it ms voted to approve the recommendations of the Finance Committee. 2. The Academic Senate recommended to the Board the establishment of an Honors College. Vice President Hamilton explained the program in detail and the steps that had been taken in the development of the recommendation as outlined to the Board. On motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr- Baker, it -was voted to approve the establishment of an Honors College in accordance with the following outline: A PROPOSAL DEALING .WITH SUPERIOR STUDENTS Approval of 5e stabli shment ;of Honors ICollege The problem of dealing "with the genuinely able student has been one in which there has been interest expressed but few proposals put forth. The.reason.for.this is not difficult to discover. Anyone who gets into the problem soon leams that it is impossible to work out a single scheme which will be satisfactory for all cases. Such evidence as we have indicates that one of the characteristics of the very able student is that he is Individualistic and, therefore, his heeds cannot be met by any single course of study. But. it is also true that we cannot devise elaborate and expensive schemes to fit the many cases. Therefore, it would seem that any progress which might be made would have to be characterized by (l) simplicity, (2) providing a potential for heightening the challenge which confronts the. very able by the removing of any restrictions which : grow out of requirements which were designed for the large numbers of students, and (3) a leavy reliance on guidance geared to the needs of the superior student. This proposal recommends the establishment of an Honors College which would be the agency responsible for working with the existing colleges to provide a special educational experience for certain students of superior ability and achievement. 3718 I SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, c o n t i n u ed November y, 1956 E s t a b l i s h m e nt of Honors College \ 2m Honors C o l l e g e, c o n t i n u e d: J A word should he said about the objectives of a program such as is here proposed. 1. The basic objective of this program is to provide a situation which makes certain that students of high ability constantly are challenged by the most advanced work for which each is ready. 2. Acceleration, in terms of time to complete the degree, is not an objective. Acceleration of subject matter is. 3. The introduction of greater flexibility in the program to meet the individual needs of these students is made possible• k. This plan will increase Michigan State's attractiveness and hold power for the .able student. 5. It is assumed that the Honors College graduate will have mastered on gradu ation more subject matter both within and without his field of specialization than will other graduates. He will be more skilled in analysis, more alive to intellectual concerns, more cognizant of the responsibility: of talent. 6. The Honors College will give recognition to the University7s special responsi bility for the -able student. The plan which follows may at first-blush seem too unambitious, but on reflection it may prove to be about the most that we can accomplish at the present time. The plan decentralizes much of the dealing with such students and will certainly be no better than the faculty members of the several colleges appointed to deal with the problem make it. But, this would seem to be implied in any plan, and we can do no better than to here put our faith,. In this proposal the Committee has avoided the detailing of techniques and devices and recognizes that changes will have to be made even in the major policies here delineated. In part this was done out of recognitionthat each college will have to work out many of its own devices. The Committee recognizes, too, that it would be unwise to try to settle in advance all of the possible questions which might arise. Obviously, an all-university faculty committee will have to give continuing attention to the problem. Furthermore, it is recognized that each college will have to have a faculty committee dealing with the honors program of that particular college. 1. It is proposed that at the end of the freshman year all students who have finished their first year with a cumulative average of 3*5 "be given the option of entering the Honors College. Students who fail to attain this average the first year but do the second will be permitted to enter the Honors College then. Transfers from junior colleges and other institutions of higher learning would be permitted to enter the Honors College if they have attained a comparable academic standard, are recommended by the dean of the college from which they transfer and meet such standards for entrance to the Honors -College as may subsequently be established for such students at Michigan State. On the recommendation of the department head, dean and Honors Committee of a given college and • .with the approval of the All-University Honors Committee, students who represent exceptional cases might be admitted to this program even though they fail slightly to meet the criteria here outlined. 2. Once a student has been designated as an Honors College scholar, all requirements for graduation, other than total number of hours, would be waived. He would be assigned to an advisor who had been carefully selected for this task in the college of the studentTs specialization. 3. The advisor would then work out with the student a program of study which seemed appropriate for the Individual. This program would then be approved by the Honors Committee of the college before being undertaken by the student. This committee would have the responsibility of making certain that both the general and the special point of view were represented in the student7s program. k.- Such a course of study might include any of a number of possibilities — the attaining of credit in some courses by examination, Independent study under a faculty member willing to undertake its supervision, the waiving of pre- quisites for advanced courses, permitting students to take graduate courses, etc. 5. In order to make possible some common experiences designed to provide not only the opportunity for developing esprit but academic integration as well, the Honors College students would meet together periodically for such a program as might be thought to be appropriate. 6. Such students would be registered before other students on special colored forms which would in effect be an nOpen Sesame,: to any course recommended by the advisor. continued - - SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, continued 2. Honors College, continued: November 9, 195& .. 7. When the student had completed the proper total number of hours /whether by examination, being in courses, independent study or otherwise and the advisor felt that the time had come that the student should be awarded the appropriate baccalaureate degree/ he would make that recommendation to the Honors Committee of the college in which the student was concentrating* To deal with those cases involving the dual enrollment of students who are preparing for a career of secondary school teaching, a joint honors committee between each of the several colleges and the College of Education would need to be formed. 8. Students would have to maintain a 3-2 average to remain in the Honors College. 9- At commencement and on all other appropriate occasions recognition would be given to the Honors College and its students. DISCUSSION | % ^f 9 ; "" ! | ^ ° ^o rs j c°J-ege | j j Had this plan been in operation for the present year .(195^), there would have been a potential of 169 students for it (the number of rirst-year students at the end of 1955 who had a I 3.5 average). Distributed by colleges in terms of the preference distribution, this would have meant the following numbers: Distribution of First-year Students with a 3.5 Average at the end of Spring Term 1955 ,...23 No-preference -Tx^X J-t-.

Veterinary Medicine J? 159 By the end of the spring term 195& eight more students had achieved a 3-5 average at the end of their second year. Not more than 20 junior college transfers would qualify. Thus, based on the 1955-56 enrollment there might at any time be a maximum of about 5^3 enrollees in the Honors College in the University at any one time assuming no mortality. Even if our enrollment were to j j double, this would still seem a manageable number. A number of questions arise in connection with this proposal. The following are a few which have been considered: A. Should not native ability as measured by certain of the orientation examinations also be considered? (l) No, because - (a) Under-achievers need counseling but not a program of this sort. (b) Such examinations are only reasonably good predictors of academic success. B. Will not such a program make those students unable to communicate with and have a feeling for their fellow students of lesser intellectual achievements? (l) Not necessarily - It must he remembered that those students have a past, a future and a present, a large part of which has not been and will not be segregated. C. Might not an advisor of Honors College students use this flexibility only to increase . a student Ts professional knowledge and pay no attention to even an obvious need for additional education in the non-professional areas? (l) Perhaps. This would be one of the risks. But first we would need to assume the universal presence of good faith. Secondly, this entire program would need periodiexamination by a faculty committee and this could be one of the factors considered. Furthermore, this propbsal does not contemplate less energy being devoted to the field of specialization. D. What about the student who, in spite of the promise of his first year, seems to flounder when released from the normal pattern? (l) A device for getting him back into the normal program would need to be developed. E. What about curricula which must meet requirements set by outside agencies as the certification of teachers? j (l) Each College will have to deal with this displaying as much flexibility as possible. !

Since it takes nine months to get delivery on this item, it will help materially if the contract can be let without waiting for the December Board meeting. 17- In view of the difficulty in recruiting competent faculty if we are to wait until after the legislature acts on next yearTs budget, it is recommended that the Board authorize the following additional positions beyond those now budgeted so that the Deans may begin to look for this personnel.

I I I I ; It was in keeping with her natural impulses and her high-minded devotion to the cause of education that she elected to forego a large potential material advantage for herself, that she chose Michigan State University as the beneficiary of her benevolence, and that she left to the present members of the Board and their successors the final determination of the exact uses to which this gift could best be put. The dimensions of these decisions can be fully appreciated only by those who know of the great sentimental values which attach to property which has been in the possession of a pioneer family for many decades; such possessions are not easily yielded to the control of others. That Doctor Jones has made these decisions as she has made them testifies eloquently to her belief in the importance of public education, her faith in the destiny of Michigan State University, and her confidence in its administration. This action on the part of Miss Jones demands in return nothing less than a pledge that her gift will be managed in a manner to yield the maximum of benefits, and that the spirit in which she gave be.the major factor in determining the uses to which the gift will be put. This pledge we freely give, on behalf of ourselves and our successors, as our acknowledgment of the obligations of stewardship she has placed upon us, together with our sincere thanks on behalf of the people of Michigan, who will be the ultimate beneficiaries. The Board adjourned at 5«15 P-m< The next meeting will be held December 28, 195'6. ex. President ^ Secretary
