CONTRACT W I T H FEDERAL BOARD FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION OF DISABLED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS (17) The following statement:

During several months of the University year ending June 30, 1919, the Federal Board for Vocational Education of Disabled Soldiers sent some men here for instruction. As the whole work was new, there was no precedent for proper procedure, and I appointed a committee, with Dean K. C. Babcock as chairman, to take charge of the matter. After several conferences, a set of terms was drawn up, regarding schedules of tuition. This was signed last August by myself for the University, and by the proper officer of the Federal Board. J request that it be approved and entered in the minutes.
