arrangements have been made for conducting a Round Table Con-
ference at the next Convention jointly with the College Physical
Education Society on the topic: What methods can a small college
pursue in order to promote confidence and a better understanding
among competing institutions in intercollegiate sports?

Mr. Bilheimer also suggested that it might help in securing new
members for the N.C. A. A. to prepare a pamphlet setting forth the
history, the principles, and the aims of the N.C. A. A., and to issue
with it an application blank for membership, calling for various
items of information regarding the college applying. The Execu-
tive Committee voted to have such a pamphlet and application blank
prepared and issued.

road fares and standard (lower berth) Pullman charges, and not to
include hotel bills and other expenses. All bills must be approved
in writing by the committee chairman. Furthermore when a com-

that it cannot pay the expenses of those attending Olympic Asso-
ciation committee meetings.
