SUIT OF HENRY B. MASON AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY

The President reported that a student had been denied readmission to the University,
after spending some time in the mental ward of the University Hospital. The student had filed
suit in Federal court to force the University to readmit him. Mr. Perkins, University attorney,
appeared in defense of the University, and the suit was dismissed by Judge Paul.

The Board approved payment to Mr. Perkins of a fee for legal services of $250.00, plus
costs of $15.67.
