West Virginia University President Frank B. Trotter stated that the million dollar memorial drive remains intact despite allegations.

He noted bankruptcy proceedings involving C. O. Steplaton and tied funds, while asserting no university funds were saved in the process. The memorial commission is expected to meet next week to discuss the matter.
