Upon the adjournment of the meeting
the regents present adjourned to the
| st. Francis Hotel, where they partook
of luncheon as the guests of Regent
Dohrmann. During the luncheon the
regents discussed the question of legis-
lation to be sought at the coming ses
sion of the Legislature.
The only extraordinary appropriation
| to be asked is that for the construc-
! ton of the proposed College of Agri
/ culture building All other sums de-
sired pertain to- the ordinary expenses
of the university. The discussion on
! this question was merely preliminary
and it is the purpose of the board to
meet again some time during this week
| to definitely determine what action
| shall be taken to procure the needed
! legislative action.
