In early December, James B. and Loraine W. Root, owning the last remaining property on the north side of Cavanaugh Road in the section between College Road and Hagadorai Road that we have been trying to buy for years, offered to sell their property for $4-0,000 with the understanding that they would be peimitted to have possession of the house and garden until i960. We countered with an offer of $38,000 and finally negotiated to purchase the property &t $39^000. This property includes 6 acres of land and a modern, very good 7-room house. b. Mr. Hacker has obtained a listing for the purchase of the Lester L. and Verna Brown property &t 3333 Forest Road contiguous to and In the southwest corner of the golf course site. This property includes a 5-room frame house, a single garage, and 1^ acres of land. The listing price is at $10,000, and it is recommended that we purchase this property. c. Mr. Hacker has obtained a. listing for the Ronald L. and Marilyn D. Chris tmas property located at 3*101 Forest Road, also a part of the desired southwest corner of the golf course site. This property includes approximately 1 acre of land, a 5-room house, and a single garage, and .. the listed price is $6500. It is recommended that we purchase, this property. d. In accordance with our long-term property acquisition policy of acquiring the land south of Cavanaugh Road between Cavanaugji Road and the new US-16 super highway, Mr. Hacker con- tinues to negotiate with the various property holders and is able to get a listing from Mr. and Mrs. Schultz for their two pieces of property totaling 135 acres at not to exceed $195,000. If we are able to secure this property at this or a better price, it is recommended that it be purchased. e. At the November Board meeting the finance committee informally approved the purchase of the Crane f am adjacent to the Hidden Lake Gardens consisting of II8.78 acres of land at a pur- chase price of $23,756. These negotiations have been completed and formal Board approval is required for the purchase of this property located in Franklin Township, Lenawee County and described as follows: Finance Committee Items, continued: 2. Property acquisitions, continued: e. Description of Lloyde Crane property: December 20, 1957 Parcel 1—All that part of the West half of the Northeast quarter of Section 19, T5S, R3E, lying North of the center of State trunkline highway M-50, excepting and reserving therefrom a triangular piece of land being 100 feet in width along the North line and 200 feet in length along the East line from out of the Northeast corner thereof. Parcel 2--Commencing at the quarter post on the North line of Section 19, T5S, R3E, thence Westerly on the North line of said section a distance of 80 rods more or less to the East line of land formerly owned by Montgomery Crowfoot, thence South on said Crowfoot East line to the center of the LaPlaisanee Bay Turnpike (State trunkline highway M-50), thence Easterly in the center of said Turnpike to the North and South quarter line of said Section 19, thence North on said quarter line to the place of beginning. This land was paid for from funds received from the Harriet Fee and Harry Fee trusts. University Attorney Lee Carr reported on the Crane gift for scholarship purposes which is covered in this agenda for today's Board meeting On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve Item 2. 3* Vice President May reported on negotiations with the General Services administration covering the leasing of space in the proposed new building to house governmental agencies. Architect Sarvis is proceeding with the development of plans for this structure to be submitted to the Board at a later date. Vice President May and University Attorney with the Floyd Owen estate: Carr recommended the following items in connection a. That the Board approve final payment of $1,000 administration fee to Mrs. Mildred 0. Shelters as provided in Mr. Owen's will* b. That the Board approve cancellation of the balance of $6^.30 due the estate from 'Mrs. Shelters. This amount represents the balance owed on a land contract on her home and is recommended because of the fine cooperation received from Mrs. Shelters in the adminis- tration and the closing of this estate. c. It is recommended that the Board authorize the obtaining of an appraisal of an 8-unit apartment building owned by the estate in Detroit before attempting to negotiate the sale of this property. A letter has been recieved from a prospective purchaser. Report on negotiations with Gen.

Harlan, Mueller, Rouse, Smith* Dr* Bartlett, President Hannah, Treasurer May and Secretary MeDonel Absent: Mr. Akers The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. as1 December 20, 1957 SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS Resolutions presented to Mr. Akers and Mr. Mueller on retirement 1 from Board - also life-time passes to all athletic events and wrist watches By unanimous action,, the following resolutions on the retirement from the Board of Mr. Akers and Mr. Mueller were approved and ordered spread: in these minutes. The resolutions were presented in illuminated scrolls to Mr. Akers and Mr. Mueller: "For eighteen years momentous in the history of Michigan State University, Forest H. Akers has served actively as a member of this Board. His service has "been marked consistently "by his steadfast devotion to the welfare of the university in which he once was a student, his perceptive interest in education generally, his ability to apply lessons learned in a long and distinguished "business career to the financial and management problems of the university, and his courage in making decisions which depended on the passage of years for their vindication. He has been steadfastly determined to.see the university grow both physically and in educational prestige, and has found his greatest satisfaction in watching the orderly, pro- gressive development he so much desired. He has taken great personal pleasure in the success of the programs in intercollegiate and intramural athletics, as might be expected of one who was an outstanding athlete, but be has insisted that the physical facilities provided for athletic purposes be no better than those provided for academic and other purposes. ill He has given frequently and generously of his private means to help deserving young people gain the advantages of education, and established a fund for scholarships to insure that such assistance will be available for future generations. His unfailing good nature, his acuteness of wit, and his unswerving loyalty to those things which are good and fine have made association with him a pleasure and a privilege. Upon relinquishing his active connections with this University, he may look back upon years well spent in an honorable and humanitarian cause, and look ahead with the certain knowledge that he will be long remembered as one of the great builders of the university which is so close to his heart." "Frederick E. Mueller has served for more than twelve years as a member of this Board, years, which saw the greatest growth and soundest development in the bistory of Michigan State University. To that growth and development he has contributed steadily and substantially. Educated here as an engineer, and with a long and successful career in private business, he has been able to counsel wisely and plan with imagination and daring for both physical facilities and improved curricula to meet the unprecedented demands upon the institution which he foresaw so clearly. If his interests have been specialized, it has been in the direction of constantly strengthening the educational programs in science and in business, and current events have proved how well-advised were those who needed his predictions of things to come. But his special interest in specific academic programs, in financial affairs, and in the fortunes of the University's athletic teams never blinded him to the legitimate demands from other areas, nor his sympathetic and active support of anything that would make Michigan State University a more respected and substantial institution of learning. Good-humored in conversation, eloquent in discussion, gifted with both sensitivity to social needs and hard common sense in matters requiring practical and practicable solutions, he has contributed in uncommon measure to the deliberations of this Board and the satisfaction of the other members in having him as a long-time associate. Now active in the national service, he leaves this Board with a distinguished recordsof leadership and influence for good; those who remain to carry the responsibility for guiding the further growth of this University will miss him greatly, but know they can depend upon him for continued interest and support in their work. To him remains the satisfaction of having helped to build his Alma Mater into a truly . distinguished university." Mr. Mueller was presented also, by-Chaaasnan Brody, a sterling silver plate bearing the inscription: Frederick E. Mueller Member State Board of Agriculture 19^5-1958 In Appreciation Michigan State University He was also presented on behalf of the Athletic Council by Director Munn a metallic life-time pass to all home athletic contests, and a wrist watch. Similar presentations were available for Mr. Akers but in his absence -will be delivered to him on another occasion* SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS, continued 2. Approval of the Finance Committee items on the preceding pages. On motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve the Finance Committee Items. December 20, 1957{ Report from Committee re: reappraising all teaching, research and service programs of university in Space age 3» The President informed the Board of the recent unanimous action by the Academic Council, appointment a committee to immediately reappraise all of the teaching, research and service . programs of this university in the light of the present situation, with the objective of making certain that this university is now and will in the future be able to make its maximum contri- bution to the welfare of our State and nation. This committee is.at work. Vice President Hajnilton presented the following report from this Committee: "Dear President Hannah: The Committee which you asked to survey the present status of our scientific research needs at Michigan State University has completed its task and is now ready to report. The Committee has proceeded calmly, recognizing that, while recent developments in the world make necessary the kind of survey which it has conducted.;., thoughtless hysteria will produce no wisdom. In making the survey many of the leading scientists on this campus have been consulted. Further, the Committee would emphasize that it considers its task but a part of the whole. No one should assume that, since the present report concerns itself primarily with the natural sciences, there is any feeling that the University should abandon or minimize its program in the social and humanistic studies. On the contrary, if as a nation we have proved less than adequate, our social, moral and political inadequacies loom as large or larger than those of science. Before launching into specifics it would seem important to emphasize the kind-of a contribution which the scientists on a university campus can best make. This is an insight difficulty for mostpeople to achieve, and yet we have reached such a critical point that its understanding must be widespread. The manufacture of missiles and satellites is a problem not only of such magnitude, but of such a nature, that it can best be left to government and industry. Similarly, the invention and construction of better refrigerators, better television sets, better automobiles, is likewise not a function of the university. Valuable as the first of these maybe to our national survival, and the latter to our comfort, it is a waste of the kinds of resources available in a university to concentrate on these kinds of applications. In point of feet, the research function of the university must be concentrated in the field of basic or fundamental research, for it is the discovery of this kind of knowledge, sought without concern for immediate application, which makes possible subsequent utilization in the development of particular kinds of gadgets, whether they be gadgets of war or gadgets of pease. At the risk of appearing tedious the Committee would like to elaborate a bit on this concept. Those, of us alive today wonder at the miracle of controlled atomic energy, but the point to remember is that the basic research on which present atomic machinery, be it death-dealing or life-sustaining, was developed, was not conceived with this purpose in mind. There was the discovery of radioactivity by the French scientist, Beequerel, in 1896, followed by the Curies1. discovery of radium in 1899. Inhere were pioneer researches into the atomic nucleus in England in 1919 "by Rutherford, as well as many others, leaving to the discovery of nuclear fission by the Germans, Meitner and Frisch, in 1939* As early as 1905^ Einstein had enunciated his theory of the relationship between mass and energy. None of the scientists who did these things were trying to develop an atomic power plant or a bomb. They were seeking to learn basic facts of nature, and their work changed the world. This is where the universities can make a unique contribution in research; research for which the motivation is nothing more than a desire to know the nature of the world, and which seeks facts in relation to laws or theories or more or less general significance. Facts are sought to enlarge, to limit, to establish, to refute, to refine, and to construct laws and theories. We shall err greatly in our institutions of higher learning if we permit the present situation to panic us into developing administrative devices, coordinating mechanisms, or paper principles to direct the University1 s research efforts into areas in which they can be of less than optimism service. What we need to do is to provide our scientists -with the facilities to carry on research, urge them to deal with the 2510 re important problems, although by their nature the good scientists will need ho urging, and let them pursue their research in the basic mysteries of the nature of the world. From this will eventually come more beneficial results to society than from any other course which the University might follow. "Practical" men must be brought to see that this is the "practical" use to which university research resources should be put. The consultation, which the Committee conducted with the scientists of the University, brought forward proposals for quantifies of facilities, equipment, and personnel which are needed if our task in basic research will be well done. In terms of the long range research objectives of the University, this assemblage of material will be invaluable in providing a blueprint for future developments. To name but a few of the needs identified, we shall eventually require facilities, equipment and personnel to expand our work in such fields as solidstate physics, energy sources, new energy sources for propulsion, complex systems-of-equipment studies, extreme temperature and stresses, instrumentation and measurement, non-aqueous chemistry, cellular biology, genetics, biophysics, and energy transformation. The Committee recognizes, however, that not all of these things can be attained quickly. Valuable as the accumulated list of needs is for future guidance, it behooves wise men to recognize the realities of the situation• Thus, from this extensive list, the Committee has selected three projects which it would recommend to you, and if you concur, to the State Board for immediate commitment so that planning for these activites can be undertaken by the Uni- versity scientiest immediately. TiI § Si i i1*4 Report of Committee re: reappraising all teaching research, etc. at this university SPECIAL IgSCELIANEOUS, continued Committee Report continued: These are: December "20,-1957 1. The planning and construction of a heavy-ion accelerator. This project already has "been authorized "by the State Board, and planning is proceeding There should now be a commitment to commence construction at the earliest possible date. A heavy-ion accelerator of kO million electron volts energy has been chosen for Michigan State University because it permits investigation of a basic sort in a relatively untouched field. There are only five heavy-ion accelerators in operation or planning for early completion in the world. Four are in the United States, and one of these is to be discontinued as it is replaced by a larger unit. The accelerator proposed will make possible a wide variety of investigations that are not possible at very many other places. It will provide valuable services, in addition to the work in. physics, in such fields as radio-chemistry, radiation damage, and radio-biology. i 2. The planning and construction of a nuclear reactor. A nuclear reactor is a facility essential to basic research in important lines of physical and biological science. With it physicists and chemists will be able to investigate such diverse subjects as the structure of crystals, chemical bonding of liquids and gases, nuclear resonance thresholds, and the effects of polarized beams of neutrons. In the biological sciences the reactor will permit studies of the genetic effects of radiation, the resistance to and the recovery from radiation injury, the preparation of experimental vaccines, and cancer studies involving the effect of radiation on cell division and cell growth. A pool-type reactor would be versatile enough to meet these needs and this is the kind proposed. It should have a flux of 5xlCr~3 neutrons per square centimeter per second, and should be provided with a large number of access ports so that a wide variety of investigations may be conducted simultaneously. 3* The planning and construction of a phytotron. We are in desperate need of more information on the effect of environment on the growth and development of both plants and animals. To achieve this it is necessary to have a tool capable of controlling simultaneously all of the variables involved in environment, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, illumination, periods of darkness, gravity, etc. The phytotron is an installation in:which all of these conditions can be closely regulated, and its availability will permit our scientists to break new frontiers in this important area. These, then, are three projects which the Committee would recommend for immediate approval. It is by no means the whole of the story, for more than facilities are required. While the availability of this equipment m il permit our scientists to make contributions of fundamental importance, the greatest value will be derived from its usefulness in increasing not only the quantity, but more importantly, the quality of the scientists which the University educates. This means that we are going to need a greatly expanded program of advanced graduate research fellowships. The Committee recommends that the Board authorize the largest possible number of such fellowships for the year 1958-59- • Certain other matters are also of great importance. They are not singled out here for special action on the assumption that they will be attended to in the normal course of events. The wcnk of our pioneering Science and Mathematics Teaching Center will need to be strengthened if it is to meet the demands already being made on it by Michigan's secondary schools. We must encourage the teaching of foreign languages including not only Russian but the languages of those areas of the world now uncommitted and underdeveloped to which we shall have to export scientists and technicians in future years. We must buttress our education in those important disciplines which undergird scientific research, and our efforts to understand and appreciate cultures other than our own must never be allowed to slacken. Obviously, at this juncture, the question will be raised, where is the money coming from? And there is a great deal of money involved. The three projects here proposed, exLusive of the fellowship program, will cost an estimated four and one-half million dollars. In a real sense this is a question beyond the scope of the Committee's jurisdiction, yet we would be less than responsible not to address ourselves to the problem. In the first place we shall simply have to face up to the fact that our society is going to have to spend more of its resources on basic research if it wishes to maintain a world that is secure, prosperous, and healthy. This con- clusion is inevitable to any thoughtful person. However, the University itself must take responsibility for making certain that it has properly ordered the activities which it undertakes. The present Committee recommends that the Faculty Committee which even now is examining the overall program of Michigan State University be given a special charge to look for those areas of teaching, research, and service, which seem least worthy of the University's attention and resources. Many nations in the past have succumbed and disappeared as they were unable to respond effectively to the changes and challenges of their times. The U.S. must meet the new challenge if it is to survive, for if we do not we shall be, J:.. like a million cities of the past that came up out of the mud, and worshipped darkness a little while, and went back, forgotten, into darkness ITT /s/ Dr. John D.

There was $12,000 Isworth of insurance on this barn and some delay in collecting it. In June consideration was given to the possibility of providing funds in excess of the amount of Insurance to provide for the replacement of this barn. Due to the illness of Dean Clark, it was decided to delay action until the new Dean of Veterinary Medicine could review his desires in this connection. The following statement by Dean Armistead indicates -why he feels that this bain should be replaced as soon as possible. Hovhanne s sian b am to be I replaced - I approximate I cost I $^3,000 "This proposed barn is needed to provide facilities for research on the infectious diseases of farm animals. A barn previously used for this kind of research was lost by fire in December 1956. For meaningful research on infectious diseases, animals must be housed in quarters so constructed as to permit isolation of individual animals and scrubbing and dis- infection of animal quarters. At present no such facility is available for large (farm) animals. The most pressing need for the propsed barn is for work being done in leptospirosis of cattle and swine. Both basic and applied aspects of this important problem are being actively investigated by staff members, post-doctoral research fellows and graduate research assistants under the direction of Dr. Erskine V. Morse. During 1957 it was necessary to house on several separated farms approximately 135 head of cattle, sheep, and swinelused in these studies. Aside from the considerable inconvenience involved, such dispersal constituted serious hazard to normal animals being kept nearby since leptospirosis spreads readily. Leptospirosis is currently one of the most serious livestock disease problems in the United States. The Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture estimates annual losses to this disease to be in excess of $100 million. Some competent veterinary authorities have predicted that leptospirosis may soon surpass even brucellosis in importance. The barn as proposed would allow simultaneous research on cattle, swine, sheep, and goats. Because of its design, it could also be used for research on Vibrio fetus abortion of cattle and sheep, brucellosis of cattle or swing, and parasitic diseases of livestock--projects already approved by the Agricultural Experiment Station but lacking adequate facilities. The barn also would permit us to undertake research on several other animal diseases of economic and scientific importance.'1 Secretary McDonel has a detailed estimate indicating that it will cost approximately $*K3; 000. It is recommended that the Board approve not to exceed $35,000 which added to the $12,000 of insurance is to be available for the construction and equipment of this barn with the understanding that the work can begin as soon as possible.
