SCIENCE BUILDING

A quandary in which the College is placed by the loss of its operating surplus was brought
to the attention of the Board by the Chancellor, who pointed out that the Governor has declined
to permit the College to use the appropriation of $725,000 for the building only, with equipment
to be secured through surplus funds, as had been proposed by the Board.

Discussion brought out that the drastic curtailment of the building indicated by this
decision would result a very few years hence in exorbitantly high costs to the College. Action
was deferred.
