Hinutes of the meetings of both the Trustees and the Executive committees
held November 17, 1945, were read and approved.

The secretary reported that, in conformity with the instructions of the
Executive Committee, a letter of solicitation had been sent out to all alumni and
former students on the mailing list and to a few selected persons and firms in
addition. This letter which went to approximately 25,000 persons, had cost approxi- |
mately $867.00, including the printing and postage. This was made possible by the
