I concur in these recommendations with the exception of the last sentence in item 3. In my opinion that is a secondary consideration which should be dealt with separately, and as an administrative question rather than one of broad educational and public policy.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, this report was accepted as recommended by the President of the University.
