| | AU History: Dowell and Knapp Administrations |
 | | Following his first year in office, Dowell reported to the board of trustees that the long and distinguished service of President Thach had made the job of his successor "delicate and difficult." The situation was made worse by the disrepair of buildings and equipment, the college debt, and meager faculty salaries paid in quarterly installments. |
 | | The trustees, led by Thomas D. Samford, rejected the proposal and urged that all-further agitation on the issue stop. |
