Two major problems hanassed the board of regents this year. The Univer- sity, due to various cuts in appropriations budgets, became possessor of such unenvi- able records as of paying the lowest faculty salaries of any University its size In the coun- try. To save the University ' s academic standards and hold its valuable faculty men necessitated constont conferences and re- gents ' meetings, vv ' hich finally resulted in a measure of relief from the special session of the state legislature. A new budget, provid- ing for increases in salaries, was di ' own up by the regents this spring to combat possible loss of worthy faculty men, and to bring back the university of men, not of bricks. The other major problem handled by the regents was successful completion of all arrangements for a million and a quarter dollar building project. The first building, a $450,000 wing to the Henry Suzzallo library, got under way in the spring, while construc- tion of a new infirmary, a power plant addi- tion, and a dormitory to house 300 women, was assured following a trip to Washington, D.
