In the absence of Dr. W. D. Haden, chairman of the New Buildings Committee, President Newcomb
made a verbal report of the selection of architects for the several projects, as follows: That contracts for
architectural work on the new dormitories, cafeteria and student union unit, the reconstruction of the North
and South Wings of the old hospital building and the addition to the chemical laboratory had been made with
Eggers & Higgins of New York.
The selection of architects for the several projects, as outlined, was approved by the Board, and
the President was authorized to sign the contracts on behalf of the University when approval has been made
by the State Board of Architects.
The President further explained that it had been deemed desirable to secure a block model for the
proposed hospital construction and also site plans for other University construction; that the cost of such
model and plans would not exceed the sum of $10,000; that the expenditure had met with the approval of the
Governor, and that he had made an appropriation to cover the cost thereof. Motion by Mr. Lewis C. Williams
to approve of having the block model and site plans prepared, was adopted.
