Smith mencement of 1952 after havi almost seven and one-half year The board of trustees in th esced in the request of Preside: the completion of exercises nex1 passed a resolution express Smith Advocates Car and House For Presidents A home for the president of the university, an automobile a n d funds to operate it and employ a chauffeur, purchase of additional land to cost around $1,250,000 and various other permanent improve ments were recommended to the South Carolina budget and control board by Rear Admiral Norman M. Smith. Admiral Smith prefaced his re marks about the president's home with the statement that since he was resigning in 1952 he could make the recommendation. Presi dent Smith has never occupied a residence on the campus but in stead has rented quarters nearby. He uses his own automobile. In cidentally, he did not accept the raise from $7,500 to $10,000 voted him by the trustees in 1949, and for the present fiscal year is work ing on a dollar-a-year basis so that the money might be used for other university purposes. Admiral Smith, accompanied by Dr. John A. Chase, dean of ad ministration, and Secretary-Treas urer Frank F. Welbourne, asked a state appropriation of $1,793,699, with fees of $768,841 which would make a grand total of $2,562,540. He said the requests for 1952-1958 were only $49,400 greater than the current year's planned expenses. He also recommended new dormi tories, residences for faculty, addi tional land for the university, ath letic and drill fields, remodeling of Steward's hall, air and naval science building, completion of school of education, student activi ties building, women's gymnasium, shops and warehouses, chapel audi torium and music building, and power plant distribution system. art residency To Leave ext June will retire after the June com ng served the university for s. eir regular fall session acqui it Smith that he be retired at June. The board unanimously ng sincere appreciation of President Smith's service to the university and complimented him on achievements during his admin istration. The resolution was writ ten by Governor James F. Byrnes, who could not be present. Douglas McKay introduced the resolution, and it was passed unanimously. President Smith had earlier in formed Chairman of the Board J. Arthur Knight of his -intention to retire next year. Mr. Knight read the letter to the board. It was as follows: Mr. J. Arthur Knight Chairman of the Board of Trustees University of South Carolina Columbia, S. C. Dear Mr. Knight: In 1944, against my best interest and better judgment, I responded to the urgent call of my native state to accept the presidency of the University of South Carolina. I did not seek the position and it ne:ar occurred to me that I would continue here this long. Sev eral times I promised myself and family that I would retire from such active service by the end of 1948. But, having commenced several long-range programs, I allowed my desire to expedite their progress to hold me at the University much longer than I expected to stay. Now that these programs are well ou the way to accomplishment, I propose to retire upon the com pletion of commencement exer cises, June 3, 1952. Seven years is a long time at our university, where the average tenure of the presidents has been five years. In reviewing my service here, I felt that no reward can be more pleasing to me than to know that in these hectic days I will have had a part in the education of so many of our youth and that I have con ferred degrees on, delivered di plomas to and grasped the hand of about 40 percent of those who have graduated from Carolina during her entire history of one hundred and forty-seven years. I assure you that the best inter est of our university will continue to be my paramount concern. Sincerely, Norman M.
