College. has exceeded all expectations in assuming the most direct and am- bitious attitude toward our college that has ever been manifest by any preceeding board in the history ol' the institution. Special impetus has been given the new and close coordination of the regents. the Former Students Association. the administration. and the student body, in molding the foundation and future ol' a greater institution for Oklahoma. The present board has indicated by every decision pertaining to A. and Nl. College that they are dis- cretely and wisely expending the lim- ited appropriations available to build the most desirable and pleasant sur- roundings for the students and fac- ulty. The unexpected lofg increase in enrolhnent last fall would have been an exhausting burden for the existing stall' ot' instructors, but the board allowed no delay in responding with the approval ol' an increase in the faculty, using where possible, graduate students taking advance work on this campus. The few changesiin the faculty have placed those instructors in other institutions flfie State .73acvLd af agfzicuftwce . . . saves Oklahoma by Building Q Greater A. and M.

Several deans that were allowed leave of absence to serve the Federal tiovernment dur- ing the critical years just passed. are back with us and happily assuming their former positions that were wait- ing for them. There has been a special el'l'ort on the part of the board to improve the physical conditions ol' the school plant. Nlurray llall was formally opened at the beginning of the lirst semester and a contract for an addi- tion has been awarded in the amount ol' 9iI5l.ttl0 which is now under con- struction. Four concrete conduits branching out from the power plant have been constructed as the initial eltort to establish a permanent and etlicient all-campus heating system so that in years to come the campus will not resemble a C. C. C. construc- tion camp each time trouble develops in one ol' the underground steam lines. This year we witnessed the comple- tion of the widening ol' College Av- enue across the whole of the south side of the campus. The Board secured action from the lligttway Commission in removing State lliglt- way No. 51 routing through the cam- pus which eliminated that tratlic hazard from the midst of our campus. The board sponsored and approved issuing bonds for completing construc- tion ol' Lewis Stadium. A tree-plant- ing project of 25.000 plants was one ol' the many projects for the Campus Beautification program under the Federal Works Progress Administra- tion. ln addition. was the construc- tion of seven concrete tennis courts and the erection ol' the new and long-needed Xlechanical lfngineering Laboratory. Further manifesting a keen spirit ol' cooperation with the Federal tilov- ernment in its support ol' the Land- tlrant Colleges, the Board sanctioned the loan ol' tlardner tlall for housing the lixtension Division and the dis- trict Behabilitation .-Xdniinistration ollices. lividence ol' direct interest in the school is found in treating of prob- lems once considered of routine im- portance. Through our new business manager Dr. C. C. Pruitt attention has been given to salvaging idle ma- terials and machinery and useless equipment about the campus.

The College and the Murray Dining .halls have been placed under the direct supervision ol' the School of Ilome liconomics. Such an ambitious calendar of a year's service might. have been stretched into a live-year program. The personel of our l935-Ito Board ol' Begents will be remembered in years to come as they are known today. President Harry B.
