MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

Dr. Combs, Dean Alvey and Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington, were present
for discussion of these matters.

MUSIC SUMMER SCHOOL

President Combs presented a proposal for the institution of a special school of music
during the summer session of 1952. It was estimated that the cost of this program would be approximately
$10,000, the major portion of which would be paid in to the college in the form of fees and
other charges. President Combs stated that the matter had been carefully studied and it was believed
that in two or three years such a project could become self-supporting. The Mary Washington Committee
recommended to the Board that Mary Washington College be authorized to conduct a music summer school
on an experimental basis during the summer of 1952. This recommendation was approved by the Board.

LIBRARY REPORT

President Combs presented to the Board copies of the report which Mr. Quenzel had submitted
on the operation of the E. Lee Trinkle Library for the year 1950-51.

REPORT ON STUDENT FIELDS OF INTEREST

A report on fields in which Mary Washington students intend to specialize, as compiled by
the Registrar's Office, was distributed to members of the Board.
