Absent: Mr. Bagwell, Mr* Nisbet Mr. Stephen Nisbet from Fremont, Michigan, who was elected at the spring election of 1963 ~t° take office on this Board January 1, 1964 replacing Mr* Vanderploeg, was absent from this meeting- He had asked Mr. Vanderploeg to represent him at this meeting. I The new constitution which became effective January 1, 1964, provides for an increase in the size of the Board of Trustees from 6 to 8 members and extension of the terms of office from 6-year terms to 8-year terms. Membership of Board increased from 6 to 8 The special session of the legislature in December 1963 extended the terms of the present Trustees for one year making the present terms as follows: Warren M. Huff Frank Merriman C. Allen Harlan Connor D. Smith Stephen S. Nisbet Don Stevens through through through through through through December December December December December December 1966 1966 1968 1968 1970 1970 The legislature also authorized the Governor to fill the two vacancies by appointing Trustees to serve for calendar year 1964. These positions will be filled at the fall election in November 1964 for 8-year terms beginning January 1, 1965* Governor Romney appointed as Trustees Paul D. Bagwell of Detroit and John Spencer Pingel of Grosse Pointe. President Hannah informed the Board that Mr. Bagwell, because of the shortness of the notice of the date of this meeting, is unable to attend because of a commitment in Denver. The President introduced Mr. Pingel as an alumnus of the Class of 1939 vhose father, brother and sister are graduates of Michigan State University. 1. It .is recommended that the Trustees authorize purchase from the State Highway Department of Parcel C-129 surrounded by Michigan State University property at the intersection of Hagadorn Road and I-96 for $12,500, the minimum price fixed 'by the Highway Department. This property consists of about 9 acres. On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 2. Communication from Mr. May: In 1962 Mr. Harlan gave the University a gift which included 43 shares of Socony Mobil Oil Corporation stock. Funds have nov been expended in accordance with the gift, and Oakland University would like to have the stock sold. 3. Communication from Mr. May: During the last Board meeting Mr. Varner handed me an envelope containing an agreement and a note form covering an additional bond-gift agreement with the Pryale Foundation in the amount of $100,000. This agreement provides for the issuance of a $100,000 note bearing hj$ interest which will be cancelled upon the death of Mr. and Mrs. Pryale. The only condition of the gift is that if the Foundation should be involved in Federal tax difficulties and needs the funds, it has the right to call the note for payment. if. Co:mmunication from Mr. May: I have received a communication from the Office of International Programs advising that the special International Travel account is nearly exhausted. In the past we have requested the Board to authorize the transfer of $7,500 from the overhead received on foreign con- tracts for payment of travel expenses not authorized by the contracts. On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Harlan, it was voted to approve Items 2, 3 and k. Paul Bagwell and John Pingel appointed by Governor to Board. 9 acres pro- perty pur- chased from State High- way.

E. MacDonald, Superintendent of East Lansing Schools, relative to an addition to the Spartan Village school- We now have kjQ of the 600 pupils enrolled in the Spartan Village schools. Even though the number of apartments has not been increased, school enrollment continues to climb. Although the school district could get by with a 2-room addition in Spartan Village, we would soon be faced with another addition. After reviewing the proposal with Mr* MacDonald, I agree that the best action would be to plan a 4-room addition in Spartan Village at a total cost of approximately $100,000 with the University bearing 75$ of the cost. With this addition in the fall of 1964, it will be possible to assign all children living in Spartan Village in kindergarten through grade 3 to the Spartan Village school. This should materially lessen any danger at the Trowbridge crossing since students in the 4th grade and above are old enough to be careful of traffic. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve Mr. May's recommendation above. 6. Communication from Mr. May: With the receipt of bids for the boiler and turbines, it is now possible to develop a total budget for the Power Plant project. Mr. Benjamin has furnished me with a letter estimating costs as follows: Boiler Plant Mechanical Equipment Electrical Equipment Mechanical trades Electrical trades General trades Stack Site vork Railroad siding Sever and water lines Steam transmission Electric Transmission Engineering and supervision Contingencies Turbine Plant Mechanical equipment Electrical equipment Mechanical trades Electrical trades General trades Engineering and supervision Contingencies Project total $2,833,000 3^0,000 lj-80,000 200,000 1,065,000 130,000 111,000 35,000 198,000 448,000 274,000 330,000 256,000 1,426,000 T9,ooo 172,000 44,000 345,ooo 120,000 94,000 $6,700,000 2,280,000 $8,980,000 $125,000 approp. for new labs in new Chem Bldg for Biophysics Dept. On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve the above budget as recommended by Mr. May. 7* Communication from Mr. May: Confirming our discussions, I would like to recommend that the Board authorize the use of $125, 000 of overhead funds to equip laboratories in the new Chemistry Building for the Biophysics Department. In this connection you will recall that the Board authorized the inclusion of additional bays in the building with the understanding that three floors con- tainifig approximately 30,000 square feet could be used temporarily by Dr. Augenstein and his staff. The funds requested are to equip this area with necessary laboratory furnishings. On motion by Mr. Huff, seconded by Mr. Merriman, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 8. Communication from Mr. May with reference to the budget for the Psychology Research Building as follows: Approval budget for Psychology Res. Bldg. You will recall that we discussed with the Board the problems encountered in financing this project which originally was a $600,000 project, but because of extensive research facilities could not be built within that amount. Subsequently the Board informally agreed that the University would provide $500,000 for the project plus the cost of utilities estimated at about $90,000. In order that the Board approval may cover the whole project, I am recommending that the Board approve the following budget: Construction Architect Site Development Furnishings Contingency and Bonds .$ 797,230 40,000 2k,500 15,000 13,270 $ 890,000 continued - - i i I 1 1 January 10, 4971 Minutes of the Finance Committee Meeting, continued: 8. Budget for Psychology Research Building, continued: Source of funds for this project are listed below: National Science Foundation MSU—Overhead on Contracts Extension of Utilities $ 300,000 500,000 90,000 On motion by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Pingel, it was voted to approve the above item. 9. Communication from Mr. May: In 1961 we borrowed; $^,000,000, using earnings from Wilson as security, that this loan was guaranteed by the Housing and Home Finance Agency* You will recall $2^0,000 bonds Wilson Dorm, bought by University When the bonds were sold, underwriters purchased the first $1,270,000 of maturities, the terms of the bond agreement, Bond Nos. 1 through VfO are noncallable until 1972. When the loan was negotiated, the interest rate was favorable enough to justify the noncallable feature and the premiums required for any refunding operations. With the interest rates and the very favorable earnings on Wilson Dormitory, we would now be better off if the loan did not contain the restrictive provisions cited above. The bonds which the Community National Bank of Pontiac will be selling include $2^-0,000 of the noncallable bonds in the 1961 issue. This afternoon I suggested to Mr. Cress that it might be wise for us to buy these bonds at this time to help clear the way for a possible refunding. He has concurred in this suggestion., and I am recommending for consideration of the Board that we purchase the following bonds from the Community National Bank: Under lower Amorait $50,000 60,000 35,000 35,000 60,000 Interest Rate 3 3 3 3 3 5/8 5/8 5/8 Purchase Price 60,930 35,707 60,000 These bonds should yield a return of approximately 3$ which is a little under the current 90-day U.S. Treasury rate. On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Dr. Smith, it was voted to approve the above item. 10. Over the past several months, Mr. Akers has indicated his desire that his commitment to give the University $300,000 in reimbursement of the cost of the golf course be cleared up while he is still living. He has indicated to me that he feels that the gift of the office building in Plymouth, Michigan, which is under long-term lease to the Michigan Bell Telephone Company at an annual net rental of $18,000, might well be considered a satisfaction of the $300,000 commitment. This is based on the assumption that $300,000 at 6°jo would produce an annual income of $18,000. He has indicated, however, that he would like his home, which is valued at a minimum of $53^000 to also be applied in satisfaction of the above cornrrn tment« I would like to recoinmend that we ask the Board to officially acknowledge the gift of these properties in full satisfaction of the commitment which Mr. Akers made a number of years ago. On motion by Mr. Merriman, recommendation. seconded by Mr. Pingel, it was voted to approve the above 11. Recommendation from Mr. May and Mr. Cress that the Board authorize the borrowing of $725,000 required for the Oakland University Dormitory from the Community National Bank of Pontiac- The Community national Bank has agreed to make a ten-year loan carrying an interest rate of 3 3/h percent for the first year and 3j? percent for the last 9 years of the loan. The additional interest during the first year is to compensate the bank in part for the loss it will suffer in disposing of Michigan State University bonds now held by the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of money that can be loaned to any single borrower, and the bonds already owned plus the new loan would exceed this total. Following is the Resolution relative to the issuance and sale of Michigan State University- Oakland Dormitory Revenue Note in the principal amount of $725,000.00. * WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Michigan State University, a Corporation 1 t 1 organized and existing under the Constitution of the State of Michigan, and having general supervision and control of Michigan State University-Oakland, a public education institution of higher learning, located in Rochester, Michigan, in the exercise of its constitutional and statutory duties has determined that it is necessary to borrow the sum of Seven Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($725,000.00), and in evidence thereof to issue its Note, designated "Michigan State University-Oakland Dormitory Revenue Note", aggregating said principal amount, the proceeds of such borrowing to be used for the following purpose, to-wit: Acceptance of gift from Mr. Akers of an office building in Plymouth, Mich. land his home in Detroit.

The complete resolution is as follows: Resolution by legislature recognizing establishment of Land-Grant ..Education in U.S. Quit claim deed from University to City of E.L. for "College Delta" HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO* 6p Offered by Representatives Cobb, Davis, Allen, Buth, Morrison, Cyril H. Root, Warner, Begick, Folks, Meggison, Wurzel, Gibbs and Handy A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE CENTENINTIAL OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IAND-GRAM1 EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES. WHEREAS, On July 2, 1862, President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act which authorized grants of federal lands to each state for the "endowment, support and maintenance of at least one college where the leading objective shall be* . . • . to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and to the mechanical arts .. •. to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes 'in the several pursuits of professions of life", and there are now 68 colleges and universities in this country •who havebenefited from such grants; and WHEREAS, Michigan State University, known earlier as Michigan Agricultural College, being the first agricultural college in the United States, was one of the first colleges to benefit from the Morrill Act under which 21*0,000 acres of federal lands were granted to the State of Michigan to finance instruction in its land grant college, and an income from such lands began in I87O and has continued through the years; and WHEREAS, Through the last cent-dry Michigan State University has pioneered in many ways and constantly expanded its usefulness to its students and to all the people of Michigan in the areas contemplated by the Morrill Act, and in so doing has become one of the nation1s 10 largest universities; and "WHEREAS, The University has been a leader in the development of agricultural experiment stations, the agriculture extension agent program and continuing education, and has contributed -immeasurably, both agriculturally and otherwise, to help provide this nation with the highest standard of living which the world has known; now therefore be it RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (the Senate concurring), That official resognition of the first century of land grant education in the United States is hereby accorded, and Michigan State University is recognized and commended for its important part in the development and expansion of land grant education; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Board of Trustees of the Michigan State University. Adopted by the House May 16, 1962. Adopted by the Senate June 26, 1962. 37- a. Minute of the Board of Trustees July 9, 1897, on pages 190-191 records the following item: Mr. Garfield offered the following, which was adopted. Resolved, that we adopt that plat drafted by P. E. Skuls for the division of the piece of land designated "The Flatironn and that hereafter it be known as the "College Delta". Resolved that, the drainage of the "College Delta" be made under the direction of the President, and Secretary and $200 #00 is hereby appropriated from current funds for the purpose; so much thereof as necessary to be used and the balance, if any, returned to current funds. Resolved that, the drives on the plat be constructed under the same direction, and that $100.00 or so much thereof as shall be found necessary, is hereby appropriated from current funds for the puspose. Resolved, that, the President and Secretary are hereby authorized to put prices upon the lots in the "College Delta" according to their judgment, the average price to be $130.00, whidh is hereby designated as a reasonable figure, based upon a present value of the plat of land as $1,000.00 and the added improvement at $300.00. Resolved, that, the Secretary of the Board is hereby authorized to negotiate sales of lots upon the College Delta at the appraised values to personTs whom, in his judgment, will be entitled to purchase because of their connection with college affairs, provided that no one person shall be allowed to purchase more than one lot, and no sale shall be entertained except that contract be entered into to erect a residence costing not less than $800.00. b. Mr. Quint of the Brooks Abstract Company reports that there is a record of all lots being sold except Lot 11 which is in the name of the State Board of Agriculture. He further states that there is no record of this lot being transferred to any person or part. continued - - # 1 I t r Quit claim deed issued from Univ. to City of E.L. for "College Delta" Contracts awarded to lov bidders on dormi- tory at Oak- land Univ. MEW BUSINESS, continued Miscellaneous, continued 37, Resolution of Board July 9, l897> continued: January 10, This lot is triangular shaped, surrounded by roads and is located at the vest end of College Street facing Delta Street. There is a picnic table and a stove for outdoor cooking on the lot. c. John Patriarche, City Manager of East Lansing, writes as follows: The East Lansing Planning Commission recently recommended to the City Council of East Lansing that College Street be changed from a 30 foot street to a 20 foot alley. College Street is located in the College Delta Plat, running from Grand River Avenue to Delta Street between Michigan Avenue and Grand River Avenue. The reason I am writing you is because it has been called to our attention that Lot 11 - College Delta is apparently still in the name of Michigan State University. For many years, Lot 11 has been considered as a part of the City Park System and has been maintained and used as a City Park all this time. The land has been traversed by both sewer lines and water lines without any easements being obtained from the University. I have searched the City Records, looking for a deed or some transfer of this Lot from the University to the City of East Lansing but I have failed to find any mention of such a transfer. This area was platted by the University, prior to 1900, so perhaps you can find in your records where this Lot 11 was transferred to the City of East Lansing* If there has never been a transfer of this Lot, would it be possible to have Michigan State University transfer Lot 11 to the City of East Lansing in order to clear up this matter. '&. This lot is so small and irregularly shaped it cannot be used as a building lot. It is suggested that the Trustees authorize a quit claim deed to the City of East Lansing covering this property. On motion by Mr. Ear Ian, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above item. 38.
