When the Board reconvened, the Chairman recognized Dr.
Archibald Henderson of the Chapel Hill faculty, who introduced
Dr. W. F. Prouty, Dr. H.V.Wilson, Dean F. F. Bradshaw, and
Dean H. G. Baity, members of the Chapel Hill faculty committee,
all of whom developed in more detail the reasons incorporated
in the Chapel Hill faculty resolutions opposing the removal
of Engineering instruction from Chapel Hill.

The chair next recognized President Frank P. Graham who
made the following statement of the plans and aims of operation
under the Consolidation Act: (Appendix IV).

Following this Dean W. C. Riddick of State College and Dean
Harriet Elliott of the Woman's College stated, as representatives
of the faculties of their respective institutions, that it was
their belief that the Consolidation plan adopted by the Board
at the June 1935 meeting was for the best interests of higher
education in North Carolina, and pledged their cooperation in
carrying out its provisions. Dean Elliott read the following
statement:

It was moved, seconded, and carried that the Faculty of the
Woman's College of the University of North Carolina endorse the
principle of the allocation of functions as adopted by the Board
of Trustees last June1935, and that this College has accepted
in good faith the application of this principle; but that if the
Board, of Trustees reverses its previous position on the principle
of functional consolidation that this College asks that it be
given the opportunity at a later date to state its position on
the question of allocation of functions as related to this division
of the University.

EXPLANATION. We accepted functional allocation as the
best possible method of developing the Greater University. We
understood that functional allocation classified this unit of
the University as a Liberal Arts College devoted to the education
of women. With both of these ideas we are in complete sympathy.
