119

The, Board approved an arrangement whereby the budget of the
Summer Session of 1937 may be overdrawn to an amount not to
exceed $2,600 to provide for the expenses of a project inaugurated
and to be financed by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation (R.P. 1932 -1936, page 797) for the training of summer camp counselors and to
demonstrate the educational values of camping for children. As was
the case during the summer of 1936, Dr. Willard C. Olson, Professor
of Education and Director of Research in Child Development, is to be
placed in general charge of the training of approximately eighty students registered in the Summer Session, seniors or graduates, as counselors, and the Kellogg Foundation will reimburse the University to
the extent of $2,600, out of which the fees of the counselors are to be
paid. If the fees amount to more than $2,600 the Foundation will pay
the additional fees.
The degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, as recommended by the
Faculty of the School of Dentistry, was conferred on Walter Chmiel,
Bernard M. Feldman, and Benjamin Gerald Pinx.
The revised statutes of the State Psychopathic Hospital and its
relation to the University, prepared by Professor E. Blythe Stason
working with Dr. Harley A. Haynes and members of the staff of the
State Psychopathic Hospital, were approved and placed on file with
the understanding that they will be submitted to the State Legislature
at its next meeting.
A request from Dr. Reuben Peterson, through Regent Smith, for an
allowance of $1,000 for secretarial expense in preparation of his history
of the University Hospital, was referred to the President with power.

committee to consider with the City authorities the cost to the University of sewage disposal (R.P. 1932-1936, page 419).

in a program of men's dormitory construction was referred to the
