Mr. Varner requests consideration be given to the authorization of exploratory studies, includ- ing architectural services, leading to the eventual construction of dormitory housing at Michigan State University-Oakland.

It is felt that if the Board agrees with the position taken by the officers of the University it might be helpful if a statement was authorized indicating that the Board will resist, to the utmost any plan to expand the sewage disposal operation at its present site. Expansion Sewage Dis- posal Plant On motion of Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Vanderploeg, it was unanimously voted to authorize University officials to convey to the" City of East Lansing the information that it is the firm decision of tliis Board to resist any overtures looking forward to the increase in size of the Sewage Disposal Plant at its present site. The Board of Trustees will cooperate with the City of East Lansing in providing a location for a new plant on property acquired some time ago by the University for this purpose. The Board has repeatedly, in- recent years, indicated to East Lansing City officials that it is the desire of this Board, that at the earliest possible moment the plant at its present location be discontinued. 8. Mr. May submitted the following financing plan to make possible construction of the new dormitory for graduate students: The financing of the Graduate Center has been largely completed by Mr. Cress and is ready for presentation to the Board. In developing the financing plan it appeared desirable to arrange permanent financing for part of the construction loan negotiated for the last 800 married student apartments. This has been accomplished through the plan outlined below. Financing •plan for new dorms for graduate students approved 1. National Bank of Detroit Present loan Payment - permanent financing Construction funds - Graduate Residence Hall Balance Total $3,650,000 2,^00,000 1,250,000 3,250,000 $^,500,000 The present bank loan carries an interest rate of 3-3/^5 the new money ($850,000) will carry a kfi rate — for an average on the entire $^,500,000 of 3*80$. Security for this loan m il be the income from the new Graduate Center plus the income from 100 apartments since $1,250,000 of the loan still pertains to the financing of the married student apart- ments. As secondary security the bank still holds earnings now pledged to the 19^-8 $^,000,000 loan. 2. Permanent financing of married housing a. New bond issue $2,575,000 1) Series A - principal amount $1,050,000 - interest'rate "1*..35$ - 13-1/2 years 2) Series B - principal amount $1,^-25,000 - interest rate k.6oio - 22-1/2 years b. Average interest rate for the entire issue - ^ c. Security - earnings from 300 units of married housing d* Purchasers 1) Detroit Bank and Trust Company - $750,000 Series A 2) Michigan National Bank - $300,000 Series A 3) Lincoln National Life Insurance Company - $1,^25,000 Series B. If the Board approves the financing outlined above, it should authorize the officers tc accept commitments from the banks and insurance company* Formal resolutions will be prepared by attorneys and submitted to the Board for formal approval at the January meeting. On motion of Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Rouse, it was voted to approve the financing plan as submitted by Mr. May* 4 J 2 50 ' Finance Committee Minutes, continued: December 17, 1959 Retirement Karl :H.

Dr. Smith offered and moved the adoption of the following resolution which was seconded by Mr. Stevens and unanimously voted: The Honorable Clark L. Brody was appointed to membership on the State Board of Agriculture, then the governing board for this institution, on October 7> 1921, and subsequently was elected to six consecutive terms by the people of his native state. Thus he has contributed more than 38 years of uninterrupted service to this Board, and through it to his Alma, Mater and the State of Michigan. His 38 years of service leave him unchallenged as the dean of public service, for no other State official, elected or appointed, can match this achievement. Remarkable as this record is, it can be but one insufficient measure of his worth. He has been a: symbol of stability and continuity as the Michigan Agricultural College he knew as a student and served as an employee has grovn into a large university enjoying world-wide prestige. From this unique experience he distilled wisdom, confidence and vision, and dispensed from his store freely and generously to the great benefit of his associates. Personally and professionally, agriculture was close to his heart, and yet he never let this interest sway his judgment, bias his opinions, or blind his eyes to the educational needs of other business, professional and vocational groups as Michigan changed from a predominantly agricultural to a predominantly industrial economy. As he increased in age, he lost none of his affection and sympathy for youth; growing in experiences, he never became cynical; vicissitudes caused him to lose neither his courage nor his gentleness of spirit; national honors and recognition did not rob him of his sense of proprotion/ Resolution of appreciation Clark L.Brody i u11: i jJM 4252 j SPECIAL MISCELLANEOUS., continued 6. Brody resolution continued: December 17, 1959 Iti.is m th profound regret that his associates on the Board of Trustees see his term of service come to a close with his retirement; they know, "better than any others, how much he has done for Michigan State University, how valuable has been his counsel, how much he will "be missed. They wish him well for the future, and pledge their intention to help Michigan State University come ever closer to achieving all that even he could envisage. Title "Trustee 7* Eke president called upon Mr. Huff to outline a suggestion that he had made earlier to the Emeritus" to be con- ferred on retiring Board I members. Mr. Huff suggested that the Board might like to give consideration to the possibility of granting the Trustees the title of "Trustee Emeritus11 to Mr. Brody and Mr. Rouse on their retirement from the Board. President, On motion of Mr. Vanderploeg, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was unanimously voted to give the title of "Trustee Emeritus" to Mr* Brody and Mr. Rouse as well as all former living members of this Board with the status, honor and perquisites usually granted those holding emeritus titles.
