advisable for the benefit Of the univer-

Among the items included by DIR.
Marvin as coming under the expense
of entertainment" according to DR..
Cummings, was a dinner at the Santa
Rita hotel, given by Mrs Marvin and
Mrs. c. e. Rose, and country club dues
for $7.7O.
do you remember any authorization
being given for such Il fund?' Governor
Hunt asked turning to Charles Nj. Lay
ton, of Stafford.
Regent Layton shook his head
blankly and said it was all news to him
The state superintendent of education,
ex-officio a regent, showed even more
astonishment than Regent Layton.
Wei, in the future there will be no
entertainment fund" emphatically de-
clared Robert E. Talley, chancellor of
the university and president of the
board of regents. IF the president in
ours expenses of that nature for which
he believes he should he reimbursed,
he shall present them to the board of
regents for their action.
I'm the meantime | suggest that we
charge off the $64.76 that is still un-
accounted for"
resolution formally embodying
both of Chancellor Talley's suggestions
was unanimously passed.
1t was informally decided to continue
the "triumvirate, composed of DIR.
Cummings, DR.. Charles Taylor Vorhies
and DR. Edward Payson Mathewson, as
the executive head of the university
for several months or perhaps even Tor
q year.
The regents expressed themselves as
satisfied with the university's affairs
under the "triumvirate"-so dubbed by
Governor Hunt-and decided to let well
enough alone, pending careful study
Of the qualifications of applications for
the position of president. A committee
of Chancellor Talley, Frank J. Crider,
of Superior and George NJ Bridge, Of
Somerton, was named to cooperate
with the "triumvirate" in sitting the
merits of the applications.
In the meanwhile DR.. Cummings was
granted SALARY increase of $3,10O q

the three member administration COM
nittee that he heads began function
ing. DR. Cummings augmented salary
amounts to $4,000.
DR.. Vorhies and DR.. MatheWson each
were given an annual salary increase
of $1,5OO,
The regents will convene again to-
j IL Il 10 ic-
pose of a number of matters that could
not be reached today.
In addition to the entertainment
fund" two other events in the Marvin
administration drew criticisms at the
regents meeting.
One was the establishment of the
graduate college last summer.
'"rhe greater humber of institutions
of our size and rank do not handle
their work as graduate college and
we deem it wiser that the University
of Arizona should not develop it's or
ganization and overhead expense be-
yond the needs of the institution. The
| graduate work has been handled effec-
lively in the past by "a graduate COM
mittee and we feel confident that with
the number of graduate students we
have that the proper organization of
their work and the settling of ques-
tions pertaining to their degrees can
| both well be handled by such a COM
| mittee," Cummings reported:
"a steady growth and development
| is much more satisfactory and more
| conducive to permanent results than a
! forced development"
DR.. Vorhies read lengthy summary
I of what other institutions are doing
| with respect to graduate work and his
| figures corroborated the statements OF
| DIR. Cummings.
