WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1905 Volume 02 - Page 015 1905-06-10 On motion, a recess was then taken until an adjourned session, which should be held at the call of the chairman. Roy O. Hadley, clerk. 1905-16-15 The adjourned session of the regular June meeting was called to order at 2:30 in the office of the Principal. Present: Chairman Edens, Trustee Donovan, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. The following communication, explaining the cause of his absence, was received from Mr. Teck, and ordered palced on the minutes: Bellingham, Washington June 15, 1905. Hon. John J. Edens, Chairman. Board of Trustees State Normal School, Bellingham, Washinton. Dear Sir: I beg leave to explain my absence from the meeting of the Board of Trustees called for 2 o'clock today for the purpose of considering bids on the construction of an additionto the dining hall or dormitory, and the election of a faculty for the esnuing term or biennial period. While I am willing to act, and consider it my duty to act, in all matters of temporary and urgent importance, I do not feel that, in view of the fact that my commission as trustee expired March 3, 1905, I have logical authority to join in a contract involving the election of and entire faculty for a period of a year in advance. I do not consider that such action would be just to my successor, who may be appointed tomorrow and who will have to deal with the faculty when I retire. I understand that the legal term of the trustees begins with June 13, and as no successor to myself has been appointed for the unexpired legal term at the time my commission expired, March 3, 1905, and as the beginning of the suceeding legal term has already passed without bringing forth the announcement of my successor, as had been promised by the Governor, I feel that my authority as a member of the board should be strictly limited to action upon matters of temporary urgency, and should not have to do with a vital and lasting contrct, such as the election of the principal and faculty. I ask that the board direct the clerk to enter a copy of this communication as a part of the record of today's meeting, and have the honor to remain, sincerely yours, (Signed) Frank C. Teck.

Lee for the dormitory improvement were formally adopted. Mr. Lee was engaged as architect and superintendent at a compensation of 5% of the contract price, with the reservation that additional compensation may be allowed for services that may be required in addition to the prescribed work.
