Resolution re: destroying redeemed "bonds and coupons, continued: NOW, THEREFORE,. BE IT RESOLVED that Ann Arbor Trust Company, the corporate Trustee named in the several Trust Agreements covering bond issues of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science be instructed to prove, cancel, and destroy all paid and/or redeemed bonds and interest coupons by cremation of the same. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Ann Arbor Trust Company, the corporate Trustee named in the Trust Agreements be instructed to prepare and submit to the Chief Financial Officer of Michigan State University a properly Certified Cremation Certificate describing the bonds and interest coupons so destroyed; such Certificate to be detailed to the entire satisfaction of the Chief Financial Officer of the Board* CERTIFICATION I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a full, tine and correct copy of a resolution, and the whole thereof, of the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science regularly presented and adopted at a meeting duly called and held at East Lansing, Michigan, on January 19, 1962/ at which a quorum was present and voted, and that such resolution is duly recorded in the minute books of the Board of Trustees, and is still in force and effect. Dated: (SEAL) Secretary On motion by Mr. Stevens, seconded by Mr. Ear Ian, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. k. Communication from Mr. May: You will recall that over a month ago we agreed to take bids for the removal of two of the Mead buildings. Our first effort in obtaining bids was not very successful. In fact, only one bid was received, and it called for the University to pay $3^83 9 for the removal of these two buildings* On November 30 ^ again received bids, but this time our specifications requested the bidder to quote on removal of the buildings and, as a separate item, removal of the foundations. We made this change in specifications since it appeared that some con- tractors would be interested in removing the buildings if they did not have to hire heavy equipment to remove concrete foundations and floors. On November 30 we received bids from three contractors. The Stewart Construction Company offered to pay the University $820 for the buildings down to the foundations. The Barnes Construction Company wanted the University to pay it $3,^00 to take the buildings down to the foundation. The Capitol Lumber & Wrecking Company wanted the University to pay $2,200. I recommend Board approval of the award of a contract to the Stewart Construction Company of Laingsburg "under which it will pay Michigan State $820 and remove the buildings to the foundation. Since the contractor will not be removing the foundations, it will be necessary to have our own Grounds Department handle this part of the work. Mr. Lautner has estimated it will cost $2,000 to do this work. In addition to removing the foundations, Mr. Lautner had previously advised on November Ik that it would require approximately 588 cubic yards of fill dirt and that fine grading, seeding, clearing up the site,- etc., would cost approxi- mately $750. I would recommend that the Board approve a special appropriation for the Grounds Department of $2,750 to cover the cost of removing foundations, filling in, cleaning up, grading and seeding the site. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 5. Communication from Mr. May: As you know, we have received a claim in the euaount of $23,6l6 as our contribution for the operation of the Michigan Council of State College Presidents1 program. I I 1 1 Since we only budgeted $6,000 for this purpose and our contingency account is nearly exhausted, it is necessary that I recommend a supplemental appropriation for the Trustees* account in the amount of $18,000. I 1 On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. It was suggested to President Hannah that he indicate to the Council of State College Presidents, on an appropriate occasion, that the Trustees intend to review the work of the Council, its effectiveness and programs before they commit themselves to an assessment of this size in future years.

FINANCING OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION Recommendation from Provost Miller for an appropriation of $10,000 to authorize a study of THE FINANCING OF A IMIVERSITY EDUCATION. The study will run over several months and have as its purpose research into the source of funds, the actual costs, and related information* The study is to be conducted by the Office of Institutional Research. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Vanderploeg, it was voted to approve the above item. Up to total of $700,000 approved for previously authorized scholarships $1^5,000 to be available for student loans during 1962-63 7. Vice President Sabine presented the needs for additional scholarship funds to be authorized for the next academic year. It was recommended that the Board authorize the financing of additional scholarships not to exceed the total number previously authorized by the Board of Trustees. Last year in the budget-balancing operation, sufficient dollars were not allocated to finance all of the scholarships previously authorized. On motion by Mr* Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the financing of previously authorized scholarships for next year up to a total not to exceed $700,000.00 of University funds for scholarships of all kinds. It is understood that no more of the additional funds (over those appropriated this year for scholarships) will be used than are necessary and that if there is a new Federal scholarship program financed by the Federal government this will be used to reduce as much as possible the requirement for additional University funds. Additional University investment funds will be made available for student loan purposes in the 1962-63 college year in an amount up to $1^-5,000.00. I Adjourned.

Salary Changes Miscellaneous 1. Communication from Provost Miller: It is with a feeling somewhat beyond dismay that I submit my resignation from Michigan State University, effective January 31, 1962, in order to assume the presidency of West Virginia University the day next. For sixteen years> from graduate student to Provost, the people of Michigan State University have nurtured the personal and professional happiness of the Millers. I doubt that a day ever passed that we, in some small way at least, failed to remind ourselves of the miraculous good fortune which had come our way because we wandered into East Lansing in January, 19^-6 • Until the past fall, which was the first and only time that I had been off the campus with reference to an employment alternative, there was no other expectation than that we were willing— and in grateful fashion—to spend the remainder of our lives in serving the ends of Michigan State University. But the comtemporary issues of my native state, and the potential of its only state university to more strongly serve, were more than I could deny. The extent to w M ch we may succeed in the assignment will be due to the learning and inspiration which I have gained from the privilege of following, observing and working with you, and from the open guidance and support of many others at Michigan State University. The extent to which we may fail will be due to my failures to take as full advantage as might have been possible of the wonderfully dynamic center for leadership which is Michigan State University. 2/ Recommendation from Dean Erickson that Professor William Hawley be appointed Acting Dean of the College of Education, effective February 1, 1962, with an increase in compensation of $100 per month for the period that he holds this assignment. 3.

There be initiated immediately and continuing until the beginning of Fall Term,, 1962, a process of department by department review in order to determine the present position of the fundamental disciplines at Michigan State University, longer-run goals and programs, relationships with the professional schools and colleges, ways and means to insure communication among the disciplines, and such procedural matters as joint appointments, cooperative programs, and functional activities which cut across the three colleges, i.e., continuing education, international affairs. It is recommended that the use of expert consultants be encouraged and that support for this be provided by the University. It is also suggested that: i a. An orderly process be established to provide faculty consultation in the selection of administrative personnel* b. Each of the new colleges will have a planning body to give consideration to matters relating to structure, budget, personnel, facilities and curricula. c. A University-wide group composed of representatives of the three new colleges, The University College, the professional and applied colleges, and the institutes and centers will be concerned with plans and problems which cut across college lines. 3. The University College be continued as an administrative unit, continuing its contribution of a University-wide core of courses, but withheld from the responsibility of granting a degree. It is further recommended that immediate arrangements be made to foster a growing number of faculty members with joint appointments between the University College and the various departments of the Colleges of Natural Science, Social Science, and Arts and Letters, h. The Deans and the Faculties of the Colleges of Natural Science, Social Science, Arts and Letters, and the University College, should be asked to develop, a liberal core of studies at the lower class level. It is further recommended that this core of courses be responsive to a unity of curricular objectives within and between these colleges, and to the seven proposals made by President Hannah before the Academic Assembly in March, 1961. It is suggested that this core be introduced into the University curriculum as soon as possible* 5. The Deans and the Faculties of the Colleges of Natural Science, Social Science, and Arts and Letters be asked to arrange and sponsor a liberal option of studies at the upper class level, incorporating college-wide orientations to natural science, social science, and the humanities, respectively, as well as flexible arrangements for specialization. 6. The Deans and the Faculties of the Colleges of Natural Science, Social Science, Arts and Letters take the leadership with the University College on the one hand, and with the other schools and colleges on the other, in relating the fundamental disciplines to the applied and professional areas. is recognized that certain departments and areas have attributes which make them capable of alternative assignments. Such areas will receive more study and consultation. Gifts and Grants Gifts and Grants 1. Gift of 124 prints valued at $620 from Donald P.
