At the request of Dean Russell W. Bunting and Dr. P. H. Jeserich, The
Regents authorized the officers of the Board to enter into a contract with the
Federal Arts Project for the purpose of obtaining murals to be placed in the new
Postgraduate Dental Building. The contract will involve the approximate sum of
$900, which amount is guaranteed by Dean Bunting and Dr. Jeserich (R.P. 1936 -1939, p. 917).
July 31, 1939
Present, President Ruthven, Regent Beal, and Regent Shields.
On recommendation by Associate Professor Louis A. Hopkins, Director of the
Summer Session, and Professor John G. Winter, the committee approved the transfer of $352.66 from the Summer Session budget to the Salary budget of the
Museum of Archaeology as special compensation to Mr. Enoch E. Peterson for
work assigned to him during the Summer Session of 1939. This action is taken
because of the fact that Mr. Peterson is already employed on the twelve-month
basis (R.P. 1936-1939, p. 569).
The committee further approved the request of Professor Clifford Woody,
Graduate Adviser to Teachers Colleges, and Associate Professor Louis A. Hopkins, that a special course of two weeks' duration be authorized at Western
State Teachers College, August 7 to 18, inclusive, with a special tuition fee of
$15, with no refunds unless the registered student attends none of the work, and
with the further provision that the course will carry two hours' credit in the
Graduate School. The necessary funds are provided in the Summer Session budget.
This request had also the approval of Dean James B. Edmonson and Dean C. S.
Yoakum.
