President Alderman, chairman of the special committee
on new gymnasium site, reported that arrangements had been made
with the Y. M. C. A. to purchase the northern section of the
tennis courts at a price of $5,000. Consideration of the
question developed the necessity for certain restrictions to be
made a part of the contract of sale, and as this would require
a further meeting between those interested the Rector was
authorized to meet with the Y. M. C. A. Board and make such
terms as necessary.

The President was authorized to make interim appointments of
assistants, student assistants, scholarship and fellowship holders
and report at the fall meeting of the Board.

On motion the meeting then adjourned.
