Upon motion of Mr. Hanson and seconded by Mr. Rogers the following resolution
was introduced and unanimously passed by the Board:
"RESOLVED , that Messrs. warren, .Knight & Davis, Architects of
Birmingham, be employed by the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic
Inst itute to draw sui table plans for the Erskine Ramsay Engineering Hall,
write t he specifications, superintend the construction of the building to

Pres i dent Dowell re ported that in view of the ac t ion of the legisl~
ture in only continuing exist ing appropriations, and the terminat ion of
the gift by the General Education Board used in supplementing salaries of
faculty members, and the practical conclusion of the work of: rehabili tation
on t he part of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the running
expenses for the current year would show a pr obable deficit of $ 25 ,000, this
amount being in addition to the expenditures for purchases of certain tracts
of land on which options had been secured during the period of agitation
for the removal from Auburn to Montgomery.
The President aiso st ated that he had communi cated with the
General Educat ion Board of 'sw York in an effort to show them the need for
continuing the annual appropriation to the college. Upon motion of Dr.
Abercrmobie, and seconded by Mr. Rogers, the Board requested the Governor
and the State Super intendent of Education to prepare an appropriate letter
and resolution, ~etting out the condition which makes the continuation of
the aid necessary and to present the same to the General Education Board,
either in person or by letter. The motion also provided that this committee
should act jointly for the University and for Auburn, in the event it seemed
desirable to the University authorities to cooperate.
(
The President reported to the Trustees that he had conferred with
the members of the committee on Agricultural Extension work concerning the
, sale of t he sub-sta.tion at Auburn to the .Alabama Power Company for $7000.

borrow from the State Department of Education the sum of fourteen thousand dollars
($14000.00) for a period of twenty years at six per cent (6%) interest, with the

of additional l and, authorized by the board. He stated that the raise in fees for

the present indebtedness of approximately $25000.00
The report of the commi ttee on Animal IndustrY read by 111'. Sherrod follows:
"The commi ttee in Animal Industry begs leave to report that we have made
as careful an i nvestigation of this branch of the college" as the limited time would
p r emi t, and f ind:
1. The condition of this branch of the college is in as good condition
as we (X)uld possibly expect to find it with the limi ted funds at its disposal.
< "
2. We find that t his department has urgent need f or a flock of sheep ~
that will reflect credit on the college.
3. We find a pressing need for a suffi cient appropriation to purchase
material for fenCing and building to separate the di~ferent breeds of cattle. A
sufficient amount of land has been acquired and all that is now necessary is a
small amount of funds to purChase fencing and building material so that suitable.
II!:)
houses and pastures ~ be constructed to separate t he dairy breeds from the beef
breeds.
4. We find a first class lot of Jersey cows on official test and they all
show sufficient merit to warrant the conclusion that these cows will enter the
Register of Merit with creditable records.
5. We find that the college has a small breed of Guers~y cattle, consisting
of one mature cow, three heifers and a bull. The mature cow and the bull appear
to be suitable for experimmta,l purposes, but the three imnature heifers are inferior
both as to breeding and individuality. We recommend that these heifers be disposed
of and replaced with more suitable animals.
In this connection we beg to say that we see no reason why the state should
not furnish to the college from four to six good Guersey heifers from its herd of
Guerseys at ' Kilby, such heifers to be selected by Prof. J. C. Grimes, Professor
af Animal Industry, and it urges that this, be done at an early date.
C. M. Sherrod
H. Herzfeld '
Paul S. Haley"
The board adopted a resolution offered by Mr. Sherrod requesting the
State Board of Administration to transfer to the Anizml Industry Department of the
. college from four to six good Guer,¥ey heifers from Kilby Farm, the heifers to be
selected by Prof. J. C. Grimes, Professor of Animal Industry.
Mr. Haley read the following report of the speciall. . commi ttee on Agricul- _
tural Extension Service:
Report of Comrrdttee on Extension Service.
"The purchase of Dan T. Gray's residence property, as practice house for
home economics department, was approved. The expenditure of not exceeding $4000.00
.in the Poultry demonstration work was authorized.
"As early as funds are available and sui table speCialists are f ound, it is
recommended that .the work in Horticulture be strengthened by at least one ~n in
truck gro·.ving,- also additional experts in Horti.culture that this work may receive
assistance proportionate to its importance and possibilities in this state.
N'm. W. Brandon
Paul S. Haley

efficient work, untiring effort and self-sacrificing service to the institution
throughout his administration.

January 2, 1924.
At a call meeting of the Board of Trustees held in the office of
the Governor on Wednesday, January 2, 1924, at 2:30 p.m. there were present:
Governor Bra.ndon and ll1essrs. Abercrombie, Rogers, Sherrod, Hanson, McDowell,
Herzfeld.
The purpose of the meeting was to select an architect and to
authorize the preparation of plans for the Erskine Ramsay Engineering Hall.
Upon motion of Mr. Hanson and seconded by Mr. Rogers the following resolution
was introduced and unanimously passed by the Board:
"RESOLVED , that Messrs. warren, .Knight & Davis, Architects of
Birmingham, be employed by the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic
Inst itute to draw sui table plans for the Erskine Ramsay Engineering Hall,
write t he specifications, superintend the construction of the building to
completion and acceptance by the Board, and that their compensation for
these services shall he five per cent (5%') of the total cost of the building.
"RESOLVED FUR'rHER, that Spright Dowell, President of the Alabama
Polytechinc Institllte, and its Chief Executive Officer, be instructed by
this Boa,rd to constunma.te the contract with Messrs. Warren, Knight & Davis
to perform the service covered by this resolution."
Pres i dent Dowell re ported that in view of the ac t ion of the legisl~
ture in only continuing exist ing appropriations, and the terminat ion of
the gift by the General Education Board used in supplementing salaries of
faculty members, and the practical conclusion of the work of: rehabili tation
on t he part of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the running
expenses for the current year would show a pr obable deficit of $ 25 ,000, this
amount being in addition to the expenditures for purchases of certain tracts
of land on which options had been secured during the period of agitation
for the removal from Auburn to Montgomery.
The President aiso st ated that he had communi cated with the
General Educat ion Board of 'sw York in an effort to show them the need for
continuing the annual appropriation to the college. Upon motion of Dr.
Abercrmobie, and seconded by Mr. Rogers, the Board requested the Governor
and the State Super intendent of Education to prepare an appropriate letter
and resolution, ~etting out the condition which makes the continuation of
the aid necessary and to present the same to the General Education Board,
either in person or by letter. The motion also provided that this committee
should act jointly for the University and for Auburn, in the event it seemed
desirable to the University authorities to cooperate.
(
The President reported to the Trustees that he had conferred with
the members of the committee on Agricultural Extension work concerning the
, sale of t he sub-sta.tion at Auburn to the .Alabama Power Company for $7000.
in accordance with the terms of a contract exectued by the Alabama Power
Company and the Alabama Polytecrulic lnstitute on December 24, 1923. On motion
the contract was approved and the Pres ident was authorized to consummate
the said sale.

borrow from the State Department of Education the sum of fourteen thousand dollars
($14000.00) for a period of twenty years at six per cent (6%) interest, with the

of additional l and, authorized by the board. He stated that the raise in fees for

the present indebtedness of approximately $25000.00
The report of the commi ttee on Animal IndustrY read by 111'. Sherrod follows:
"The commi ttee in Animal Industry begs leave to report that we have made
as careful an i nvestigation of this branch of the college" as the limited time would
p r emi t, and f ind:
1. The condition of this branch of the college is in as good condition
as we (X)uld possibly expect to find it with the limi ted funds at its disposal.
< "
2. We find that t his department has urgent need f or a flock of sheep ~
that will reflect credit on the college.
3. We find a pressing need for a suffi cient appropriation to purchase
material for fenCing and building to separate the di~ferent breeds of cattle. A
sufficient amount of land has been acquired and all that is now necessary is a
small amount of funds to purChase fencing and building material so that suitable.
II!:)
houses and pastures ~ be constructed to separate t he dairy breeds from the beef
breeds.
4. We find a first class lot of Jersey cows on official test and they all
show sufficient merit to warrant the conclusion that these cows will enter the
Register of Merit with creditable records.
5. We find that the college has a small breed of Guers~y cattle, consisting
of one mature cow, three heifers and a bull. The mature cow and the bull appear
to be suitable for experimmta,l purposes, but the three imnature heifers are inferior
both as to breeding and individuality. We recommend that these heifers be disposed
of and replaced with more suitable animals.
In this connection we beg to say that we see no reason why the state should
not furnish to the college from four to six good Guersey heifers from its herd of
Guerseys at ' Kilby, such heifers to be selected by Prof. J. C. Grimes, Professor
af Animal Industry, and it urges that this, be done at an early date.
C. M. Sherrod
H. Herzfeld '
Paul S. Haley"
The board adopted a resolution offered by Mr. Sherrod requesting the
State Board of Administration to transfer to the Anizml Industry Department of the
. college from four to six good Guer,¥ey heifers from Kilby Farm, the heifers to be
selected by Prof. J. C. Grimes, Professor of Animal Industry.
Mr. Haley read the following report of the speciall. . commi ttee on Agricul- _
tural Extension Service:
Report of Comrrdttee on Extension Service.
"The purchase of Dan T. Gray's residence property, as practice house for
home economics department, was approved. The expenditure of not exceeding $4000.00
.in the Poultry demonstration work was authorized.
"As early as funds are available and sui table speCialists are f ound, it is
recommended that .the work in Horticulture be strengthened by at least one ~n in
truck gro·.ving,- also additional experts in Horti.culture that this work may receive
assistance proportionate to its importance and possibilities in this state.
N'm. W. Brandon
