Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 16: December, 1919 Two decisions made by the Oberlin college trustees at their annual meet ing November 14 are of major interest to the alumni. It was voted to increase the salaries of the teaching force 50 per cent., to take effect from September 1, 1919, the amount of increases for other employees of the college being committed to the prudential committee to fix. The trustees also voted approval of the plans for alumni reorganization, presented by Cleveland R. Cross, '03, chairman of the committee. The pro posed constitution for the new associa tion was printed in the last issue of the Alumni Magazine. The board also faced the urgent need of a new building for college recitation purposes to cost approximately $300, 000, and of the additional buildings for the Theological group to cost $250, 000. The trustees themselves did not deem it wise to enter upon an elaborate campaign for the collection of the money necessary for these buildings, but the alumni will be asked to con tribute approximately necessary in order to carry a part of the program for increase of salaries.
