Investment Committee as follows:
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
Minutes of Meeting of August 28, 1962
The Committee met at 12:15 P.M. at the Holiday Hotel. Pres-
ent were: Board member Procter R. Hug, Jr.; Public member
Julius Bergen; Ex Officio members President Charles J.
Armstrong and Business Manager Neil D. Humphrey. Absent
was Board member Dr. Louis Lombardi. Representing the
First National Bank Trust Department were Mr. R. O. Kwapil,
Vice President and Senior Trust Officer, and Mr. J. C.
Troyer, Trust Officer.
The Committee reviewed a revised copy of suggested port-
folio changes sent to each member on August 24, 1962, by
Mr. Troyer. The suggested changes (copy attached to file
copy of these minutes) totaled $836,738.63 of redemptions
and sales and $834,985.00 of purchases. After review of
questions the Committee agreed unanimously to authorize
the Trust Department to make the changes recommended by
Mr. Troyer.
Mr. Humphrey noted that the minutes of August 21, 1962 state
that the total income to the agency account from Clay-Peters
Building, Inc., was $1800, but this is in error. He noted
that the agency received $1800 annually in dividends and
$600 annually paid to Mr. Kwapil as salary which he deposits
to the agency account.
Meeting adjourned at 1:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Neil D. Humphrey
Acting Secretary
President Armstrong reported that, following the meeting,
on the recommendation of the Regent members of the Invest-
ment Committee, and with the concurrence of Mr. Grant, Mr.
E. L. Cord was appointed to replace Mr. E. J. Questa as a
member of the Committee.
Motion by Mr. Elwell, seconded by Mr. Grmain, carried unani-
mously that the minutes of the meeting of the Investment
Committee be accepted and that the appointment of Mr. Cord
be ratified.
10. Main Station Farm
Dr. Anderson referred to the proposal for the Main Station
Farm and discussed the Building Committee's action, explain-
ing that it was not clear in his mind that the Building Com-
mittee had approved the plan. Dr. Armstrong reviewed the 2
documents which had previously been mailed to the Regents,
namely, "Development and Use of the Main Station Field
Laboratory for Research, Instruction and Extension in Agri-
culture", dated February 15, 1962, and "Supplement to the
Report of the Main Station Field Laboratory Development
Committee". He pointed out that included in the report
is the proposed budget for development of the Main Station
Farm, with estimated costs and suggested sources for fin-
ancial support. Dr. Young, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Rogers had
reviewed the report and submitted joint approval. The re-
port had proposed an arrangement involving legislative ac-
tion, and this was the proposal discussed at the Building
Committee meeting, but was not accepted, nor was it recom-
mended by the President. The method of financing, as adopt-
ed, was tied to the acceptance of the six-year plan.
Motion by Mrs. Magee, seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried
unanimously by roll call vote, that the six-year program
for improvement of the Main Station Farm, as presented in
the above mentioned documents, be approved, with the dele-
tion of the legislative program, and with funding through
the method here adopted.

place, and three $100 E bonds for 3rd, 4th and 5th places.
The awards will be made by the University Scholarship Com-
mittee in consultation with the Director of Athletics and
the Coach of the football squad. In order to qualify, stu-
dents must have been regular and faithful members of the
football squad during the current year, although not neces-
sarily members of the first team. The awards will then be
made by the Scholarship Committee to those members of the
football squad so qualified who have the highest academic
average among the entire membership of the squad for the
current academic year.
Motion by Dr. Lombardi, seconded by Mr. Germain, carried
unanimously that the gifts, including the proposal by Mr.
Orvis, be accepted, with appropriate notes of thanks to
be sent to the donors.

13. Weld Arnold Resolution
The Regents took note of the death of Weld Arnold, and
adopted the following Resolution upon motion by Mr. Elwell,
seconded by Mr. Broadbent, and unanimous vote:
RESOLUTION NO. 62-5
RESOLUTION IN MEMORY OF WELD ARNOLD
We, the members of the Board of Regents of the University of
Nevada, hereby take note, with a profound sense of grief and
loss, of the passing on October 5, 1962, of our respected
colleague and valued personal friend, Weld Arnold.
Regent Arnold was elected a member of this body for a two
year term beginning on January 1, 1959, and subsequently,
on June 20, 1961, he was appointed by Governor Grant Sawyer
to fill a vacant position on the Board. He served continu-
ously thereafter until his death.
Weld Arnold's interest in the University far antedates this
period of service as a Regent, however. During two academic
years, those of 1947-48 and 1948-49, he held appointment as
Lecturer in Civil Engineering in the College of Engineering
of the University of Nevada. Previously he had taught for
the American Geographical Society of New York, the Institute
of Geographical Exploration in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and
the Royal Geographical Society of London, England. He held
the baccalaureate degree from Harvard University and the
Royal Diploma from the Royal Geographical Society of
England.
His academic background and experience made him a devoted
friend and staunch supporter of the University of Nevada
from the time of his first association with us, and his
loss will be felt keenly by all in the University.
As a member of this Board, Weld Arnold served on a number
of its committees, including the Building Committee, the
Legislative Committee, the Code and Salary Committee; and
was Chairman of the Committee on Honorary Degress and
Distinguished Nevadan Awards.
His unselfish devotion to the best interests and welfare of
the University, and his conscientious participation in all
of the responsibilities of the Board of Regents and of its
committees, were truly outstanding.
To Mrs. Arnold and the members of his family we extend our
most heartfelt sympathy, and the hope that they may be com-
forted and strengthened by the knowledge that Weld Arnold
served the University and the State of Nevada faithfully
and well.
14. Elko Trip
President Armstrong reported that arrangements have been
made for the Building Committee, and other Regents who can
attend, to go to Elko for discussion of a proposed Junior
College there. Mrs. Magee invited all those who make the
trip, and their wives, to a dinner on Friday, November 9,
at 6:30 P.M. at the Star Restaurant, Elko. Other guests
will also be invited to the dinner.
15. Cornerstone Ceremony, Las Vegas Library Building
President Armstrong reported that the Grand Lodge of Masons
had accepted the invitation to lay the cornerstone for the
Library Building on the Las Vegas Campus, at 4:30 P.M. on
Friday, November 30, following the meeting of the Board of
Regents, which will begin at 9:00 A.M. on that date.
16. Executive Session
The Board went into Executive Session at 11:00 A.M. to dis-
cuss certain specific personnel matters, and returned to
open session at 11:25 P.M.
17. Dining and Housing Facilities, Las Vegas
Mr. Rogers discussed a report on housing needs from Assist-
ant Dean Dan Mc Laughlin of Nevada Southern, which was re-
ceived after the capital improvement program for 1963-65
had been developed and approved by the Board of Regents.
The report shows that housing should be planned for 133 per-
sons rather than 90 persons. He suggested that the housing
and dining project budget be revised to include the addi-
tional needs and that the Planning Board be notified of the
revised budget for this project. Dr. Armstrong recommended
the request be approved.
Motion by Mr. Germain, seconded by Mr. Elwell, carried
unanimously that the Administration be authorized to in-
crease project budget in accord with the new figures above.
18. Next Meeting
The next meeting was set for Friday, November 30, 1962 in
Las Vegas, Nevada, followed by the cornerstone ceremony for
the new Library building at 4:30 P.M.
The meeting adjourned at 11:30 A.M.
