LAW ALUMNI

At the last meeting of the Board, the President was requested to discuss with the representatives
of the Law Alumni the question of whether they would support a general increase for the
faculty at the next session of the Legislature. The President reported that he had talked with the
Law Alumni representatives at some length. What they desired to do was to set a precedent with one
member of the Law Faculty at $12,500. The President stated that in the budget which was being sent
to the Finance Committee this weekend, he was proposing a total salary for Dean Ribble of $12,500.
The Law Alumni agreed to join with the University in seeking an increase in the salary scale of the
College, Engineering and Law Schools

The President stated that he believed that through the Alumni sufficient money could be
raised to attain the goal sought by the Law Alumni for the session 1953-54
