LAMBETH PROPERTY

President Darden pointed out that Dr. W. A. Lambeth, for many years a member of the faculty,
had left his property to the University, with a life interest vested in his widow. Dr.
Lambeth died in 1943 and the residence is badly in need of repair. The Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds has made an estimate of the cost, which amounts to about $5,000. A resolution
was adopted authorizing the President to approve such repairs as were necessary, provided expenditures
from State funds were found by the University attorney to be legal for such purpose.
