Law School Tuition

Action on an increase in tuition in the Department of Law was deferred until after a conference
between the President and the Law Alumni Association, scheduled for Friday, November 18.
The President was authorized, after this conference, to increase the Law School tuition if he
deemed it advisable. Mr. Darden asked for an expression of opinion by the Board concerning the
advisability of increasing this tuition, and it was the sense of the Board that the non-resident
tuition in the Department of Law should be increased by $100
