In the report1sof the board of
regents, which is herewith submit
ted, you will note that the board is
now asking for an appropria ton at
your hands for a new building.
This is a building which is doubtless
needed. or will be needed, by the
university, but I very much doubt
the wisdom OF making any appro-
priation, either for building or
equipment, until a ground or work
ing plan is adopted or approved by
the legislature. Such plan should
involve correlated scheme OF
buildings adapted to the university
site, with power, heating, lighting.
water and sewerage systems suited
to serve all the requirements. Upon
inquiry do not discover that such
plan exists, even in a tentative
form, in the minds of the regents.
a. BOARD OF REGENTS.
'In its report the board asks a
larger appropriation than formerly
for the library and maintenance
funds, also seeks an appropriation
for special use in the agricultural
department.. In view of statements
set forth and the needs which are
known to exist, these requests
should receive your careful consid-
Grafton. You are also asked to
liquidate a deficiency of $4264 IS
arising upon account of the new
buildings authorized by the act of
the Sixth session. The expense
incident to the. erection and fur
nishing of these buildings ought to
have been kept within the limits
prescribed. Ny attention has been
directed to serious criticism of the
character of work done under the
contract Of construction and the
worthiness of any deficit arising
hereunder. Under the circum-
stances your investigation should
be exhaustive"
