N. Dunce.n, Governor Bibb Graves, Messrs. George Blue , H. H. Conner, C. S. Culver, R. K. Greene, Paul S. Haley, F. W. Hare, J. A. Keller, Edw. A. O'Neal, T. D. Samford, and P. O. Davis (secretary) • . ABSENT : Doctor Victor H. Hanson and Judge H. D. Merrill. President Duncan reported as follows: (1) ENROLLMENT Our enrollment this session estf.~bli shes a new high record . The total to date is 2591. Our total for last session was 2348 . The r efore, the i ncrease this year over last is 11 per cent. "~ie decli ned more than 300 al)1)l i cati ons from non-resident students . If these had been admitted our increase wouln have been approxirof;tely 25 per cent. Our incre[-'.8e of 11 per cent approximatel~T doubles the national average . More than 93 per cent of our total enrollment this yenr comes f r om Alabama end neighboring states. Mor e than 8~ per cent are r esi dents of AIEbame .• Going back three yea.rs Vie find tlw.t our present enrollment exceeded that year (1933-34) by 57 per cent. We are pleased with the f act that our enrollment is gaining in all schools . For the last two years we have had an increase in each school over the previous year. Agriculture and veterinary medicine, however, have increased more rapidly than other schools . We are no", confront.ed with the very difficult problem of providing additional housing for students . We have used trd~; year practically every ave.ilable r oom in the town . Obviously, more rooms must be provided either by the citizens of the tovm or by the college if' Vie continue to increa se our enrollment . March 1, 1937 (2) FINANCES For the fiscal year which ended September 30, 1936, we paid 67 per cent of our faculty salaries. For the previous year we pa.id 85 per cent, the reduction being due to a reduction in State Funds brought about by legislative changes . As a result of recent legislation enacted by the specia.l session of the legislature, we hope that VIe can make a much better showing for the current year which began October 1, 1936. It is regretted, of course, that no way was provided for payment of back salaries but, under Alabama laws, this appears to be exceedingly difficlu.t. Yet, it is a just debt. While our present al)propriations appear to be adequate , if paid in full , for paying all of sahlr~' obligations we must keep in mind the fect that we have no provision for additional buildings and equipment already great_y needed and which will be needed more and more with our rapidly increasing enrollment in students . This is anot~er big financial problem now confronting us. (3) F~SOLUT ION ON DEATH OF ~rn . FOGERS On motion by ~tt . Samford, seconded by Mr . orNeal, the following resolution was adopted: WHEREAS, the Honorable John A. Rogers , for many years a wise and distinguished member of this board of t~lstees , departed this life on September 22, 1936, and 'WHEREAS, in his death this board of trustees and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, along vdth the entire State, suffered an irreparable loss: THEREFOHE, be it resolved, that we hereby acknowledge our loss and declare our profound appreciation of the valuable service rendered by Senator Rogers as our former co-worker. - BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, as further evidence of our appreci ation, a page I in the minutes of this meeting of the board of trustees be set aside in memory of Mr. Rogers with this resolution recorded thereon and t hat B. copy of this resolution be sent to his family, March 1, 1937 (Bb) APPOINTMENT OF lVffi. GREENE BE IT RESOLVED, also, that we expr ess t o Governor Graves our appreciation for appointing Honorable Robert K. Greene to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator 11ogers. We welcome Mr. Greene and bespeak for him a long period of unselfish service . (4) LETTER OF RESIGNATION To the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polyt~c~~ic Institute Auburn, Alabama Gentlemen: When you elected me President of the Alabama Polytechni c Institute on February 22, 1935, you also asked me t o continue in the capacity of Director of Extension. At the time this seemed vlise because of the serious financial diffi­culties confronting the Institution as well as the Extensi on Service. Due t o the action of the Legisla.ture, just recently adjourned, it is clear that our financial situation will be definitely and decidedly improved . On account of the f act that the Extension Service has been called upon to administer practically all phases of the new farm program, the work of the Director of this division of the Institution has been enormously increased. In view of the above facts, I am requesting the Board to r elieve me of the active direction of the Extension Service, effective February 28, 1937 , in order that I amy give my full time to the duties and responsibilities incumbent upon me as President of the Institution. In offering my res i gnati on as Director of the Extension Service, I should like to express my very cordial and profolmd appreciation to the members of the Board of Trustees for their loyalty and cooperati on during the twenty-seven and one-half years while I have been actively engaged in an endeavor to finance and to build an adequate organization to serve the farm people of Alabama. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) L. N. Duncan, President March 1, 1937 (5) ACCEPTANCE OF DIFECTOR DUNCAN'S RESIGNATION On motion by Mr. Ol~:-eal, seconded by Mr. Samford, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLVED that we accept Doctor Duncan ' s resignation as director of the Extension Service of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and, in doing so, express to him our profound a.ppreciation for his outstanding work and leadership as the head of this important division of this institution. \~en he started extension work in Alabruna in 1909 he had almost no money to finance it and no precedents to guide him. By his keen vision he foresaw its great usefulness and he plmmed its development. During all these years he has conceived its legisla.tive needs 8.nd helped to enact them into laws, State WId Federal. He has conceived, projects WId selected and directed its personnel. Under his wise and courageous leadership the - I Extension Service of this institution has long been outstanding as a model and as a guide for other states but its greatest monument is now revealed in the hearts and in the lives of the people of Alabama . (6) EXTl!:NSION SERVICE CHANGES The folloyiing recommendations by Doctor Duncan were approved by unanimous vote: "I recommend that all divisions and districts WId titles and positions therein, together with the incumbents thereof, as they now exist for Extension Service administration be ebolished, effective on this date , March 1, 1937. "I recommend that four supervisors be created for men and three for women as provided in the budget which I shall submit to this Board of Trustees at this meeting. The new director of extension should. be authorized to fill these and other vacancies for the period which will end June 30, 1937, by and with the approval of the President. March 1, 1957 "I recommend that Mr. P. O. Davis be made director of the Extension Serv:ice of the Alabruna Polytechnic Institute, effective March 1, 1937.

Arnold be employed t o fill this position at a sala.ry of $4200$00 per annum, effective March 1, 1937 . 11 There being no objection i t is the sense of the Board of Trustees that Mr. J. T.
