Farm Program
Dean Bertrand came into the meeting at 9 A.M. to discuss the
Farm Program, which Dr. Stout had requested him to study, as
authorized in the Executive Committee meeting of July 13,
1955. Dean Bertrand read the report he submitted to Dr.
Stout, including the following recommendations:
With respect to the Virginia Farm:
1. That an announcement should be made, as soon as the
Board of Regents can meet and agree, offering the
Virginia Farm for sale to the highest cash bidder
with the Board reserving the right to reject all
bids.
2. That each bidder should be asked to submit two bids
on the property, (a) one bid for the Virginia Farm
with the water rights reserved by the Board of Re-
gents, and (b) the other bid with the water rights
going with the land.
3. That the bids should be received by the Comptroller
of the University not later than 4 P.M. on November
30, 1955 and that all bids should be opened at 10
A.M. on December 1, 1955.
4. That the Board of Regents should reserve the right
to keep possession of the Virginia Farm for at least
6 months following the consummation of the sale in
order that an orderly transfer can be made of the
experimental work that is underway and in order to
permit the salvaging of the optimum amount of re-
search data.
5. That the Board of Regents should delay decision on
the acceptance or rejection of the high bid until
December 15, in order (a) to give time for a thorough
investigation of the financial soundness of the bid-
der, (b) to consult with the Governor to determine
whether or not he will approve the sale, and (c) to
determine whether or not the land which may be pro-
posed for sale to the University meets the require-
ments for a satisfactory Main Station Farm.
With respect to the proposed Main Station Farm:
1. That the Board of Regents solicit sealed proposals,
from both individuals and realtors, on a satisfactory
acreage in one body in the vicinity of Reno which may
be considered for the site for the Main Station Farm.
(Here we would consolidate the research and teaching
activities in this area related to work with beef
and dairy cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. This
farm would also serve as the site for much of the
agronomy, soils, water utilization, drainage and farm
management research of the Agricultural Experiment
Station.)
2. That consideration should be given to the following
points in evaluating the price and characteristics
of land proposed as a possible site for the Main
Station Farm.
a. Acreage of 600 to 1400 acres depending upon lo-
cation and soil type.
b. Reasonable distance and accessability to the Uni-
versity. (Less than 20 minutes from Campus labo-
ratories.)
c. Varied soil types, with 400 to 500 acres being
of Class I and II land, and with less desirable
classes being required for the remaining land.
(It is desirable that the land ultimately ob-
tained be comparable, for both experimental and
instructional reasons, to land being operated by
large numbers of the farmers and ranchers of
Nevada.)
d. Early and adequate water rights. (A desirable
location on the irrigation ditch is also a re-
quirement in view of the continuing urban de-
velopment which makes it costly for a few ranch-
ers to maintain many miles of ditch.)
e. Adequate homes for a beef cattle herdsman, a
dairy cattle herdsman, a sheep and swine herds-
man and the Main Station Superintendent. (These
could be constructed on land without such build-
ings provided the price of land without these is
such that the remaining money from the proposed
cash sale of the Virginia Farm would make con-
struction possible.)
f. Other necessary facilities. (These also could
be constructed on land without such facilities
provided the price of land without these is such
that the remaining money from the proposed cash
sale of the Virginia Farm would make construction
possible.)
(1) For beef cattle
(a) Feeding sheds and pens for 120 steers
(b) Feeding sheds and pens for 120 weaning
calves
(c) Hay storage facilities
(d) Grain storage shed
(e) Feed grinding and mixing facilities
(f) Scales and shed for weighing cattle
(g) At least 12 working corrals
(h) Field laboratory building
(i) Pasture divided into about 10 fields;
good fences
(2) For dairy cattle
(a) Milking barn
(b) Three large sheds and corrals
(c) Hay storage facilities
(d) Grain storage shed
(e) Three bull sheds and pens
(f) Isolation barn
(g) Calf barn
(h) Pasture divided into about 10 fields;
good fences
(3) For sheep
(a) Lambing shed
(b) Feeding shed
(c) Working corrals
(d) Shearing shed
(e) Pasture divided into about 10 fields;
good fences
(4) For swine
(a) Farrowing shed
(b) Fattening pen
(c) Scales and shed
(d) Pasture divided into 6 fields; good
fences
(5) For poultry
(a) House for brooding of chicks
(b) Two houses for laying hens
(c) House for broiler production
(d) House for turkeys
(6) For machinery and other purposes
(a) Machine sheds
(b) Maintenance shop
(c) Agronomy and soil sheds
3. That the sealed proposals for the Main Station Farm
should be received by the Comptroller of the Univer-
sity not later than 4 P.M. on November 30, 1955 and
that all proposals should be opened at 10 A.M. on
December 1, 1955.
4. That each person making a proposal should be asked
to submit a listing of acreage by soil types, of
buildings and fences included in the proposal, of
water rights proposed for transfer, along with a
Water Rights Attorney's evaluation of such rights,
and of equipment included in the proposal.
5. That each person making a proposal should agree to
permit designated persons to make a thorough study
of the soils, water rights, buildings and equipment
before December 12.
6. That on December 12 the Dean's Advisory Committee on
Research and Instructional Land Needs should thor-
oughly study such of the proposals that it feels
might meet the needs for a Main Station Farm and ad-
vise me about the advantages and disadvantages of
each of these proposals in meeting the needs for a
Main Station Farm. (The Dean of Agriculture then
would make recommendations to the President con-
cerning the proposals and the possibilities of the
proposed land meeting the needs of the Max C.
Fleischmann College of Agriculture for its Main
Station Farm.)
7. That the Board of Regents announce on December 15
its decision to accept or reject any proposal.
With respect to the Ladino Diary Farm:
1. That early steps should be taken to transfer the work
with dairy cattle to the proposed new Main Station
Farm.
2. That at an early date, with the concurrence of the
Fleischmann Foundation, the Ladino Dairy Farm should
be offered for sale to the highest cash bidder and
the proceeds used for the further Statewide develop-
ment of the Max C. Fleischmann College of Agricul-
ture.
With respect to Field Stations in northern and southern
Nevada:
1. That a permanent, University-owned, small-ranch-unit
Field Station should be acquired and adequately
equipped somewhere in the northern part of the State
as soon as it is financially possible to do so.
2. That a permanent, University-owned Field Station of
limited acreage should be acquired and adequately
equipped somewhere in the southern part of the State
as soon as it is financially possible to do so.
Following general discussion, President Stout presented his
recommendation to advertise the South Virginia street Farm
for sale and to call for bids under certain conditions.
Following further discussion, President Stout presented his
recommendation that, in the event the recommendation to offer
the South Virginia Street Farm for sale is accepted, the
Board of Regents immediately publicly solicit sealed propos-
als which offer to sell to the University of Nevada a satis-
factory acreage in 1 body in the vicinity of Reno which may
be considered as the site of the University's Main Station
Farm.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi carried unanimously that the recom-
mendation of the President (a) to offer the South Virginia
Farm for sale, and (b) to solicit proposals for a Main
Station Farm, be approved.
Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that the letter
calling for bids for purchase of the South Virginia Farm,
and the letter soliciting proposals for a replacement, be
submitted to Regent Thompson for concurrence, and then to the
Attorney General for checking and approval, before advertis-
ing. (Letters attached hereto.) (See pages 180-181.)
Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that the President
be directed to seek qualified appraisers and to determine
the price of their services, for consideration of the Execu-
tive Committee, which has authority to employ the appraisers,
if it so desires.
President Stout then read the letter of September 29, 1955
from Mr. W. J. Hudson, Nevada representative of Morgan &
Peacock Properties Company, which requested that they be
notified sufficiently in time, of any action of the Board
of Regents to offer the South Virginia Street Farm for sale,
so that they might have opportunity to submit bid.
Building Program
At 10:20 A.M. the following members of the State Planning
Board came into the meeting to discuss the University's
building program: Mr. Sandorf, Chairman; Mr. Bissell,
Engineer; and Mr. Sutton, member. Mr. Poolman, University
Engineer, was present, also.
a) Agricultural Extension and Hatch Buildings
Mr. Sandorf reviewed the Planning Board activities in
regard to plans for remodeling these 2 buildings. Study
and report was previously made by a local architect, a
building engineer and a representative of the State Plan-
ning Board in the Summer of 1954. All of them believed
that the buildings were worthy of remodeling. However,
in the Summer of 1955, the same architect had his struc-
tural engineer investigate the Extension building more
carefully. His report to the Planning Board in August
1955 was that the cost of remodeling would be excessive.
He recommended that it be torn down and an entirely new
structure built. To double check these findings, the
State Planning Board hired Mr. John J. Gould, a Consult-
ing Engineer, San Francisco, California, who recommended
that the buildings be demolished. He further reported
that cost of remodeling the buildings would run between
60-80% as compared with new construction (not including
wings or other planned additions), if the remodeling job
is to bring the buildings up to building code standards.
On the basis of Mr. Gould's findings and further study by
the State Planning Board, Mr. Sandorf advised that the
two structures were not worth the cost of remodeling. He
further recommended that the Extension building be torn
down immediately and approximately $469,000 be spent for
a new structure on its site.
For information and file of the University, Mr. Sandorf
agreed to furnish (a) copy of the letter from the Attor-
ney General to the State Planning Board in which he gave
his opinion on the use of the money appropriated for the
two buildings, and (b) copy of the report of Mr. Gould.
Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that, based upon
the information supplied by the State Planning Board and
the recommendation of the that Board, the Agricultural
Extension building and Hatch building not be remodeled
and that the Planning Board be asked to prepare plans to
remove the Agricultural Extension building and construct
a new building in its place.
b) Student Union Building
Mr. Sandorf reported that all bids for the Student Union
building were in excess of the amount of money available.
Immediately the architect and the building engineer were
consulted to see where the plans might be cut to bring
them within the allotted sum and still retain the neces-
sary features of the Student building. Mr. Sandorf took
the Regents through the possible changes in plans, which
he indicated would bring the bid price down to $360,000,
leaving a balance for architects' and other fees.
President Stout recommended that the Planning Board pro-
ceed as outlined above, working with Mr. Poolman, and
going in the direction of providing space requested by
the students and making the savings in reductions in the
luxury items of the building.
Motion by Mr. Hardy carried unanimously that the recom-
mendation of the President be accepted, and the State
Planning Board so directed.
c) Manzanita Hall
Mr. Sandorf reported that plans had been drawn for re-
modeling Manzanita Hall, as per instruction to the Plan-
ning Board, and were sent to the Pacific Coast Builders
Conference for approval. Some changes were recommended
by them, which were made and the plans have been resub-
mitted to the Pacific Coast Builders Conference. The
Planning Board has prepared a list of deletions and
changes, for bid as alternatives, to ensure that the
bid be kept to the $200,000 available.
President Stout recommended approval of the Planning
Board's procedure, and urged all haste.
Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that the recom-
mendation be approved, and the State Planning Board
so directed.
d) Las Vegas Building
Mr. Sandorf explained that the Legislature requested
advanced plans. He asked for the ideas of the Board
of Regents and the University Administration so that
preliminary plans might be prepared. Likewise, an
overall preliminary plan will be made of the Las Vegas
Campus, working with the University officials.
Mr. Poolman and the State Planning Board members left
the meeting at this point.
e) Housing for the President
The Board referred to its action and agreements con-
cerning purchase of the Sam Ginsburg home as a house
for the President. Mr. Thompson presented a preliminary
title report carrying the information that there are
street assessments against the property.
Motion by Mr. Hardy carried unanimously that, provided
the matter of street assessments is cleared, and the
University receives clear title and title insurance on
the property, the action of the Executive Committee in
approving purchase of the Ginsburg property, be ratified.
f) Land - North Virginia Street Indentation
Mr. Hayden reported on his talk with two owners of land
indenting the University Campus, Mr. S. J. Nielsen and
Mr. William Schmitt. Mr. Nielsen desired to trade prop-
erty for some already owned by the University. Mr.
Schmitt indicated that he might be interested in selling,
but could set no price at the present time. Reference
was made to the letter from Attorney General Dickerson
under date of August 25, 1955, as follows:
Honorable Silas E. Ross
Chairman
Board of Regents
University of Nevada
Reno, Nevada
My dear Mr. Ross:
Replying to your letter of August 24, 1955, request-
ing information with regard to condemnation of cer-
tain land needed by the University, this is to advise
that under paragraph 2 of Section 9153 N. C. L., 1931
-41 Supp., condemnation may be exercised where public
buildings or grounds are for the use of the State.
Inasmuch as the University of Nevada is a State in-
stitution this section would apply and an action
for condemnation would have to be brought in the
name of the State of Nevada, on the relationship of
Silas E. Ross as Chairman of the Board of Regents of
the University of Nevada. The pleadings and neces-
sary trial of the action would be conducted by this
office.
Every effort, of course, should be made to purchase
the property at a reasonable figure, as condemnation
can only be resorted to when a reasonable offer is
made to the owner and refused.
If you wish this office to proceed, kindly keep me
advised.
With kindest personal regards, I am
Sincerely,
/s/ Harvey Dickerson
Attorney General
Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that the Board
authorize an appraisal of the land and continuing nego-
tiation with the two property owners.

lem and that the Attorney General be consulted about the
status of the University in relation to the City Police De-
partment, and that a report then be made to the Board of Re-
gents.
University Foundations
President Stout discussed his proposal for the creation of a
University of Nevada Foundation "for the purpose of solicit-
ing, receiving and administering funds and property of any
sort whatsoever to be used solely for the promotion and de-
velopment of any and all aspects of the instructional, re-
search, administrative and service programs of the University
of Nevada." He asked that the Regents consider his proposal
as an idea to pursue and study. By consensus, the President
was authorized to continue his study and to present a recom-
mendation at a later meeting.

Yearly award of $100 to a qualified Junior or Senior stu-
dent in the Department of Engineering.
To qualify for this scholarship a student must:
1. Have a good moral character.
2. Have good general scholarship.
3. Have above average scholastic attainment in
the Department.
4. Have pronounced interest in the field.

ing of the scholarship.
6. Be, at least in part, self-supporting.
f) From the American Association of Airport Executives - a
$500 scholarship for the school year 1956-57, as follows:
1) This particular scholarship shall be known as the
"Pat Mc Carran Memorial Scholarship", and the Ameri-
can Association of Airport Executives agrees that it
shall offer no other scholarship under the same name
at any other University so long as this agreement is
in effect with the University of Nevada.
2) The Scholarship shall be limited to a Senior student
who is to be selected in his Junior year.
3) The Scholarship does not have to be confined to any
particular College of the University of Nevada but
its offering should be confined to those students
who in the judgment of the Administration of the
University of Nevada are majoring in work which could
logicaly and reasonably lead to a position in the
Airport Executive Field - Public or Business Adminis-
tration, Economics, Civil or General Engineering, or
such other courses as the University of Nevada may
offer which are applicable to the intent expressed
hereinbefore.
4) Candidates for the Scholarship need not be native of
the State of Nevada. Eligible students whose domi-
ciles are in other States shall be given equal con-
sideration. Further, both male and female students
are to be considered on an equal footing.
5) It is the desire of the American Association of Air-
port Executives to establish this Scholarship so
that a Junior student now enrolled at the University
of Nevada for the academic year 1955-56 will be se-
lected some time prior to our annual business meet-
ing to be held in Cleveland, Ohio next April 22-26.
(We not only want to be able to notify our assembled
membership of the name of the selectee at that time
but we want the selectee to be in a position to ob-
tain even further benefits including the possibility
of Summer employment at some airport.)
Pursuant to your letter of August 13 to me the As-
sociation waived the requirement of a paper as set
forth in Paragraph 6 of my letter of August 9 to
you. Therefore, the continuity of numbering para-
graphs hereinafter will be at a variance with the
August 9 reference.
6) The University of Nevada shall set up its own arbi-
trary academic standards in line with scholarships
as generally administered by it. The American As-
sociation of Airport Executives only requires that
it be notified of those standards.
7) The University of Nevada shall accomplish the initial
screening of candidates determined to be eligible by
it and shall submit to the "Pat Mc Carran Memorial
Committee" of the American Association of Airport
Executives no more than the top 6 names of students
who have otherwise fulfilled the arbitrary standards
and requirements established by the University of
Nevada. The submission of these names should be
accompanied by brief biographical material, requisite
academic and scholarship records, and the recommenda-
tions of the staff of the University of Nevada. (If
the University does not desire to make a specific
recommendation of one of the 6 candidates it selects,
it may at its option set aside this provision.)
8) The amount of the Scholarship which has been approved
for payment in the next academic year is $500 which
will be paid on the basis of $100 per month through
the months of October, November and December of 1956
and January and February of 1957. The funds will be
paid directly to the successful candidate upon certi-
fication by a properly designated administrative of-
ficer of the University of Nevada in charge of schol-
arships generally that said candidate is a student in
good standing at the University at the time of certi-
fication.
9) It is proposed to make this award in perpetuity as
the financial status of this Association permits.
Unless the University of Nevada is duly notified in
writing by the President or Executive Secretary of
the Association that the arrangement is to be termi-
nated or othrwise altered on or before the first day
of September of the years following this agreement,
the "Pat Mc Carran Memorial Scholarship" of the Amer-
ican Association of Airport Executives shall be re-
garded as a continuing affair and the University of
Nevada may so publicize it with the assurance that
the American Association of Airport Executives will
fulfill its responsibilities.
If the foregoing is consistent with your understanding
of the modus operandi please acknowledge this fact at
your earliest convenience and feel free to publicize the
acceptance of the Scholarship concurrently with your
approval.
In conclusion permit me to again point out that the
current constituency of the "Pat Mc Carran Memorial Com-
mittee" of the American Association of Airport Executives
is Mr. Joe Hicks, Manager, Reno Municipal Airport; our
President, Dr. Leslie A. Bryan, Director of the Insti-
tute of Aviation at the University of Illinois; and the
writer. This committee was appointed with the approval
of our Board of Directors and its determinations are
binding upon the Assocation.

Executive Secretary
g) From the Nevada State Medical Association - 2 scholar-
ships of $500 each annually, under the following condi-
tions:
The Nevada State Medical Association hereby agrees
that, whenever financially able, it will each year
provide for the awarding of 2 scholarships of $500
cash. One of these will be awarded to a student
graduating from a high school in Nevada and enrolling
in the University of Nevada as a Premedical student
and the other to a student who has completed his
Premedical training at the University of Nevada and
is entering his first year as a Medical student.
The recipients of these scholarships will sign a
non-interest bearing note to be placed in keeping
of the Secretary-Treasurer of the Nevada State
Medical Association, these notes to be paid off
within 7 years after graduation from Medical School
or if the recipient does not graduate from Medical
School, within 10 years from receipt of the scholar-
ship. If a recipient returns to practice medicine
in Nevada in any community of less than 5000 popula-
tion for a period of at least one year, the notes
will be cancelled. Between the months of January
and May each year, applications will be received by
the Committee on Scholarships of the University of
Nevada on forms to be prescribed by the University
of Nevada Committee on Scholarships and the Nevada
State Medical Association. These applications will
be reviewed by the combined committees, and selec-
tions will be made for both applicants. At the
beginning of the next Fall term, 1/2 of the scholar-
ship fund will be paid to the recipients following
enrollment at their Universities. The remaining 1/2
will be paid at approximately mid-year if the re-
cipients have maintained satisfactory scholastic
records.
h) From Kenneth W. Yeates - increase in the Kenneth W.
Yeates Scholarship in Psychology from $100 to $150 per
