Regent Cox moved that Chairman Sill represent the Board on this occasion which was seconded by Regent Bennion and carried. Regent O‘Connor briefly reported on the assignment to the Buildings and Grounds Committee regarding the remodelling of additional hospital units for dormitory use (see minutes September 15).

He was firmly of plans Board takes action it should have detailed architectural and specifications in order to determine the cost of the project. |
