(1) The incidental expenses of the college; and(2) The payment of such indebtedness; and until such indebtedness shall be fully paid off no part of the fund derived from incidental fees shall be used for the payment of professors, teachers or other officers or employees of such college, nor shall the board, until such indebtedness be fully paid, make any contract for the hire, employment or payment of professors, teachers or other officers or employees of such colleges that will require a greater sum of money for the annual payment thereof than the amount of the appropriation by the state for the support of such college for that year.Prior revisions: 1929 § 9613; 1919 § 11508; 1909 § 11083
