Dear Sirs: A t two different time s an appropriation has been made by the Legislature of Alabama for buildings at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. Each time Pre s . Thach --- - -- - ~ --- --- --- ~ has repeatedly stated that out of said appropL'iation a Veterinary building would be constructed. The Veterinary College is not decently housed and such as it has is not large enough for classes and laboratory work. Students have complained of being compelled to work without proper shelter from cold and rain. The American Veterinary Medical Association has threatened ·to put this Veterinar,y College in Class C because of lack of adequate buildings &id equipment. The Veterinary College am Department have been run under such adverse conditions and upon such promises. Not less than $50,000.00 should at once be put into buildings and equipment for tre College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Thach repeatedly stated that when the present appropriation bill was up before the Legislature that the first building constructed would be for the Veterinar,y College. The Veterinary Alumni, in proportion to the total munber of graduates, sent more graduates as officers and privates into the vlorld War than any department of the A.P.l • . There is a great demand for veterinarians in practice, in the army and in official sanitary and inspection work. No War can be a never will be run without horses and mules and meat foods. No agricultural country will ever be run without horses, mules, cattle, hogs, and poultry. I invite you to see vlhat we have. Many of you have never seen our present buildings.

Very truly yours , Governor 2735 Maryland Ave. Baltimore, Hd. . June 11, 193) I have been i nformed of the action of the Board of Trustees of t he Alabama Polytechnic Institute v-nth respect to the choice of my father as President Emeritus at a salary of $4, 000 per aontun. oWing to the cont inued ill health of my father I have not di rectiy informed him of this action, although I feel certain that. I may say that upon recovery he will entirely understand the situation. Acting in his n~le , I hereby accept the office for him lvith the salary attached, and, for him, express appreciation of the sympathetic attitude of the Board during his sicknes s. -- - I am completely convinced, as I have before written you, that my father ,will ultimately regain his full strength, but I am equally conv:inced t hat it would have been fatal to his happine ss and dangerous to hi s health to attempt to resume his dutie s. In v.iew of those circumstances I have be,en able to see no solid reason why the Board should not proceed to the choice of a successor , if they deemed it lvise. With the merits and demerits of ·the unfor~unate complications which have arisen in connection with the choice of a successor I have, of course, no concern. But I can frankly say that to the best of my knot-II edge and belief the Board of Trustees have shown my father every courtesy and every consideration. As an alumnus of the :institution, I can only hope that my father 's work 'will be carried on to its merited fruition, and that the next fifteen years will add as many glories to Auburn's name as the 'last. Will you convey the substance of my letter to the Board at its next- mee~:!ng? I wish them to understand that I feel that ill no sense has my father suffered f rom any lack of consideration at their hands. With high personal regar ds, I am Mr . Chas. C. Thach, Jr. 2735 Haryland Ave. Baltimore" Md. My dear ¥~ . Thach: (Signed) Very sincerely yours, Chas. C. Thach, Jr. Jure 18, 1920 " Your letter of the 11th instant is received. I am very much gratified to learn of the con~inued improvement of your Father and I trust that your sJq:>ect a tions of his early recovery may be fully realized. I am also nruch grat ifi ed, and I am sure the Board of Trustees w.i.ll be, at the ex~ressions of satisfaction by yourself and other members of Dr. Th~ch ' s family with the action of the Board. 1-1i th kind re gards , I am Very" truly yours, Governor On motion of Mr. Terry the action of the Gove r~or in the above correspondence was concurred in by the Board. .
