Ohio University Record, Meeting June 6,1927.
Rufus Putnam Hall on East Union Street was ready for occupancy in
September and is being used for teacher training activities. The building
on Park Place, formerly used for this purpose, now houses the School of Music.
It was necessary to ask for a special appropriation during the current
year, 1926-1927, to meet certain obligations; and for this purpose $22,000
was received by the University for Personal Service A-1; $3,000 were needed
for Coal, but this obligation was met by a transfer of funds from our
appropriation H-7 Teachers Retirement to C-3 Fuel. A deficit in our
appropriation Water F-3 amounted to $766.94, and was provided for by
transferring a like amount frcm General Plant F-9 to Water F-3.
The University received, by appropriation, at the hands of the Legislature
in the 87th.General Assembly, the following:
For the period beginning July 1,1927, and ending December 31,1928,
$760,367.00 were appropriated for Personal Service. In addition to this
amount, receipts from term registration fees approximating $250,000.00
will accrue to the credit of Ohio University. For purposes of Maintenance,
the sum of $154,050.00 was appropriatef, and all monies arising from the
equity of the University in Athens and Alexander Townships, which will
amount to approximately $8,000.00 or $10,000.00 during the period before-
mentioned, thus giving us a total amount somewhat in excess of $160,000.00.
For Additions and Betterments,$183,500.00 were appropriated.
The total amount of money appropriated for the use of the University
during the period from July 1, 1927, to December 31,1928 amounted to
approximately $1,355,000.00.
A representative from the State Auditor's office visited Ohio University
during the months of May and June of this year for the purpose of making an
audit of the books in the Treasurer's office, to cover the past three years.
