unanimously approved.

Governor Hodges paid tribute to the Trustees for their loyalty in attendance
and for their keen and abiding interest in the University. He urged them to be
trustees of not one but all three parts of the University, and stated that the
University needs the help of the Trustees more today than at any time in recent
years because of so many pressing problems. He asked the Trustees, in dealing
with these problems, to keep them on the basis of policy determination and to leave
the operation of the University to its administrative officials. He further stated
that the Trustees should be Trustees, and therefore, should keep in trust any
information given to them as such.

Governor Hodges then called on Acting President Friday who made a brief report
on the present status of the University pointing out the recent losses in faculty
members and the anticipated administrative changes, and urging the early selection
of a permanent President.

NAMING LIBRARY AT CHAPEL HILL

Mr. Friday read a letter of appreciation from Dr. L. R. Wilson for naming
the library for him at the University in Chapel Hill.

COMMITTEE ON NAMING BUILDINGS AT STATE COLLEGE

Mr. Lassiter presented the following recommendations on behalf of the
Committee on Naming Buildings at State College:

1. That the Civil Engineering Building be named in honor of Professor
Carroll Mann, Sr., who is now Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering.

Professor Mann graduated at State College in 1899 and was a member of
the staff from 1900 until his retirement in 1948. From 1916 until
retirement he served as head of the Department of Civil Engineering.

2. That the Headquarters Building for the Department of Maintenance and
Operations be named in honor of Mr. W. F. Morris. Mr. Morris graduated
at State College in 1909 and during most of his life was a member of
the staff at the College. Until his retirement a few years ago, he had
served for many years as head of the Division of Maintenance and
Operations.

3. That the Richlands Creek Forest located one mile northwest of the State
Fairgrounds be designated the Carl Alwin Schenck Memorial Forest.

Dr. Schenck established the Biltmore Forest School in Western North
Carolina as the first training school for Forestry in the United States.
He received an honorary degree from State College in 1952. Friends
of Dr. Schenck have endowed the Schenck Distinguished Professor ship
of Forestry and are now prepared to provide an endowment fund sufficient
to lanscape and maintain in perpetuity an area of about one acre in the
memorial forest to be named in his honor.
