President Newcomb advised the Board that acting under authority granted him at a previous
meeting, he had made application to the Works Progress Administration for a grant of $21,000 for
improving facilities at the University's Airport, including extension and drainage of runways,
removal of hazards, erection of administration building and hangar and performing incidental and
appurtenant work, on condition that the University provide the additional sum of $5,000, making the
