Ohio University Board of Trustees minutes, v. 10 (1927-1954)

43 Ohio University Record, Meeting June 10,1929

An important feature of the year was the dedication of The Alumni Memorial Auditorium on January 20,1929. The most outstanding event, however, was the installation of the Lambda chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at Ohio University, in April, 1929, the charter having been granted at the National Convention held at Delaware, Ohio, in September, 1928.

The building of a Stadium is well under way just south of the present athletic field used by the University, and it is hoped that the Stadium will be ready for use in September of this year. Bonds for the construction of the Stadium were sold through the local banks, upon agreement with the officers of the University.

So effective has the relationship existing between the University and the Board of Education of the City of Athens been with regard to the use of the public schools of the City for teacher-training purposes, as well as the similat relationship existing between the University and the Board of Education of The Plains, that during the school-year of 1929-30 plans are under way to use the Mechanicsburg school, in addition, for teacher-training purposes.

Satisfactory practice teaching facilities for our students who are making preparation for teaching in city and rural schools are afforded thereby.

I have the honor to call your attention to an option which is in the hands of the Treasurer of the University pertaining to the Jennings property on East Union Street, Athens.

This is the eighth year of the present administration, which marks the conclusion of the second university generation of the present administration. Perhaps, I may, therefore, be permitted a few general statements relative to the prosperity that the University has enjoyed under the direction of this Board.

Within these eight years the attendance of bonafide students has doubled, the faculty has doubled, the pay-roll has been multiplied by three; but more gratifying than any of these advances has been the recognition that has come to the University by standardizing agencies.

Six years ago the University was elected to membership in the Association of American Colleges and Universities; two years ago the University was elected to membership in the American Association of University Women; in September, 1928, the University was elected to membership into Phi Beta Kappa.

The permanent assets of the University have increased more than eighty per cent (80%).

I have the honor to make recommendations, as follows:

1. I have the honor to request consideration of the option on the Jennings property.

2. I have the honor to request that the Buildings and Grounds Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees be instructed to proceed with plans and the letting of the contract for the construction of the Library, which will of course be under the direction of the State Architect.

3. I have the honor to request approval of the Report of the Committee on Teachers and Salaries, as follows, on separate sheets attached.

4. I have the honor to recommend the conferring of degrees and diplomas upon students in regular courses of study, as follows, on lists attached.

5. I have the honor to recommend the conferring of an honorary degree, as follows:

Master of Arts (A.M.)

Henry Clyde Shetrone......Columbus, Ohio

Respectfully submitted,

E.B. Bryan,

President, Ohio University.

It was moved by Jones, seconded by Hamblin and the motion was duly passed that the report be accepted.

President Bryan asked the Board to give consideration to the option to purchase the Jennings property on East Union Street. It was moved by Hopkins, seconded by Eikenberry and the motion was duly passed that the Jennings property be purchased for a price of $16,000.00 to be paid from the Local Fund.

It was moved by Eikenberry, seconded by Leete that the Building and Grounds and the Finance Committees be authorized and directed to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications and the letting of the contract for the construction of the new library for which the Legislature has appropriated the sum of $350,000.00. After some discussion the motion was duly passed.
