(30) A recommendation of the Council of Administration as to fee in Home Economics 14. February 5, 1919 Doctor Edmund J. James, President

DEAR M R . PRESIDENT:

The Council of Administration at its meeting of February 4, 1919, on the recommendation of Professor Bevier, voted to recommend to the Board of Trustees that the fee in Home Economics 14 be raised from $8 to $13.50 a quarter. Miss Bevier says: "This plan is made with the idea that the students should pay for their food material for the four weeks they live in the practise department. It seemed in the discussion the only feasible manner to manage the matter." Sincerely yours,

THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

Secretary, Council of Administration

This recommendation was approved.

The term of office of each member of the Board is to be two years, with half of the Board going out each year. This would mean that each of the above named organizations would choose initially two members for the long term of two years, and two members
