LECTURES ON " P R E P A R A T I O N FOR MARRIAGE" (9) As reported to the Board on April 27, the Student Senate has requested the University to offer a "Preparation for Marriage" course for credit to be open only to seniors. Since then this proposal has been given careful consideration by the Provost and other University officers. As a result of their studies it is believed that such a course should take the form of a series of lectures, open to all students, by one or more trained individuals with the proper professional background. Accordingly I recommend: 1. That the Board of Trustees authorize the establishment of a series of lectures on "Preparation for Marriage," to be offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. These lectures will be open to all students and may be given to men and women separately or to combined groups. 2. T h a t an appropriation of $700 be made (this would be a recurring item and therefore should be made from the unassigned income for 1938-1939) to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to provide for the honoraria of lectures and other expenses in carrying out this program.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, action on this matter was deferred until a later meeting of the Board.
