Proceedings of the Board of Regents (1939-1942)

34 SECOND SEPTEMBER M1EETING, 1939
McGregor Fund has for several years appropriated $6,500 to the University
for the support of the work at the Observatory, in addition to other grants for
construction. The Fund is prepared to assure the University that it will appropriate $10,000 annually for maintenance and operation for the five years ending
June 30, 1941 to 1945 inclusive. This will leave approximately $7,500 per year
to be provided by the University after the new equipment is ready for use over
and above the present University annual appropriation of approximately $9,200.
Will you advise us of your action on this offer so that we may complete
arrangements with the Director for commencement of the construction?
Respectfully yours
