into temporary rooms for girl students, should be made safe
from fire by introduction of proper fire escape. Mr. Stall
suggested that fire escztpes be nut in at once but that the
Board of Control make recommendations as to the temporary
rooms later because in his judgerment it would be unwise to
extend money to introduce transoms, etc. for ventilation
purpose, then perhaps later abolish these rooms entirely.

     Mr. Stoll then moved to refer this matter to the Executive
Committee. The reoort of the Board of Control was received and
filed, which is as follows:

                                   December 12, 1916

          The present Board of Control of the Woment's Dormitory
     was anpointed by the Executive Committee at its meeting
     on November 1, 1916.

          After a conference with the President of the University
     and later with the Executive Committee in regard to its
     duties, the Board f:rnmally signified its acceptance of
     the nostion on NTovember 15, 1916.

          It has    i held six meetings since then, and has'
     devoted all its time to becoming familiar with the reesources
     and expenditures of the institution, and with the condition
     of Patterson Hall.

          The income of the Dormitory comes from two sources:-

          1. From an annual State approoriati.on of two thousand
     dollars ($2000), which the law says shall be used to defray
     the running expenses of the women's dormitory, including
     fuel, lights, and servant' s hire."  This sum is not handi-
     ed by the book-keeper of Patterson Hall, but is disbursed
     by the business agent of the University

          2. From the board of 133 studenlts, at the rate of
     $3.75 per week, from President Barker and his wife who
     pay each twenty-five ($25) per month, and from Dean
     Hamibton who pays five dollars ($5) per week. A fee is
     also charged for guests who visit the Hall from time to
     time.

          While the Board of Control has only been in office
     since the middle of November, yet it submits a brief state-
     ment of the receipts and expenditures of Patterson Hall
     since the opening of the University on September 11, made
     by Miss Elizabeth Hopper, book-keeper of the Dormitory,
     who collects and disburses all of its funds:-
