Description

This letter to the "Honorable Board of Trustees" from their chosen Executive Committee outlines important factors to the transition of Alabama Technical Institute and College for Women to Alabama College.

The Executive Committe notices some of the following aspects that supported their decision to support said transition:

1. The admission of more college students and less high school applicants
2. It would offer full college courses to the citizens of Montevallo, Alabama
3. The new, well-functioning additions of the library and the on-campus dairy farm

Also mentioned in this report is the request for increase on the President's home which still resides on Flower Hill to this day. The Executive Committee asked for an increase of $16,000 which took the original budget from $9,000 to $25,000 ($133,000 to $369,000 in 2017).
