Upon motion of Mr. Gravatt, duly seconded, the Board resolved approval of the Committee's
recommendation that No. 2 Dawson's Row be offered as a residence to Mr. Allan T. Gwathmey,
Associate Professor of Chemistry, and to his wife, Mrs. Roberta H. Gwathmey, Associate
Professor of Spanish and Dean of Women, but only under the following conditions. (1) that the
Department of Buildings and Grounds be prohibited from expending any funds upon the cottage
beyond those essential for its preservation and appropriate for a temporary structure, (2) that
the Board reserves the right to demolish the cottage at any time upon comparatively short
notice to Mr. and Mrs. Gwathmey, and (3) that Mr. and Mrs. Gwathmey be informed of these
conditions and of the further requirement that acceptance of tenancy of the cottage by Mr. and
Mrs. Gwathmey will constitute acceptance of the three conditions stated herein.
