neering services on projects and campus plan studies in the 1959-61 building
program as well as for proj'ects in the 1957-59 program. They also recommend that
the estimated expenditure of $13,000 for campus plan studies and consulting services
by Ambrose M. Richardson and Associates, on which there is a separate
recommendation to the Board of Trustees, be paid from this reassignment of funds.
I concur.
On motion of Mr. Bissell, these funds were reappropriated and reassigned,
as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell,
Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell,
Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr.
Stratton, Mr. Swain.
APPROPRIATIONS BY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
(24) The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association has approved deficiency
appropriations, totaling $12,000, for the 1956-57 fiscal year as follows: basketball,
$3,000; gymnastics, $1,000; personnel, $2,000; publicity, $4,000; wrestling, $1,200;
and concessions, $800.
The deficit in publicity and concessions resulted primarily from a greater
volume of sales of programs and concessions than anticipated, thus requiring
further purchases, but this of course, resulted in increased income from those
sources. Most of the other deficiencies are in traveling expenses.
These adjustments in the Athletic Association budget are reported for confirmation.
On motion of Mr. Bissell, these adjustments were confirmed.
ADDITION TO CONTRACT WITH AMBROSE M. RICHARDSON
AND ASSOCIATES FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
(25) On July 25, 1956, the Board of Trustees authorized award of a contract to
Ambrose M. Richardson and Associates for design work on the Women's Residence
Hall, Men's Residence Hall, Fine Arts Center, campus plan studies, and for
consulting services on other buildings, on a cost-plus basis, with a maximum of
$37,000. The amount of work requested of Mr. Richardson's firm has been greater
than anticipated and the Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and
Comptroller recommend increasing the contract to a maximum of $42,300.
Funds are available in appropriations for the projects on which services will
be performed.
I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute the
requested increase in the contract.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Comptroller was authorized to
execute this change in the contract.
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES ON NEW BUILDINGS
(26) The Committee on Buildings and Grounds at a meeting held on June 20,
1957, considered recommendations for the employment of architects on new building
projects as shown below. The recommendations were supported by reports
from the Director of the Physical Plant presenting the scope and nature of each
project, the criteria set up for each, and the architectural firms considered qualified
in terms of these criteria. The following recommendations for employment of
architects are submitted with the concurrence of the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds:
