TENNIS COURT CONSTRUCTION

In response to a resolution adopted by the Board on December 17th, Mr. Talbott brought in a
draft for a resolution, which was adopted, as amended and seconded by Mr. Hartfield, as follows

RESOLVED, that the conclusions of the Athletic Council respecting need for construction of
new tennis courts and the recommendations of the Council in regard thereto, as set forth in its
report of October 3, addressed to the President of the University, are approved in general
principle, subject to the following qualifications.

(1) Funds for the proposed construction are to be derived from private contribution, which
will be welcomed, however, no part of the cost of construction is to be charged to the University
budget

(2) There is to be no overriding commitment for maintenance of the courts, when constructed,
which will take priority over any other element of annual maintenance charges.

(3) Solicitation for funds to defray the cost of construction shall be under the direction of
the President of the University and shall be conducted in such manner as he shall approve, so as to
assure the fact that such solicitation will be made consistently with the University's fund raising
policy and with the activities of the Alumni Fund.

The Board resolved further that, in connection with the foregoing resolution, the President be
requested to consult with the Trustees of the Alumni Fund.
