These reports are sent you because you are one of 25 members of the Club who contributed to this fund and made it possible, The report of the Committee was presented at the last meeting of the Board and it was approved and same is to become effective Jan. 1, 1942 unless objections are received from any of the 25 members still in the Club. Unless we receive from you or any of the other members an objection to this procedure, the recommendation of the Committee will become effective Jan. 1, 1942, With the seasons best wishes, I am Rotarily yours, 2 ee ’ Secretary. REPORT OF ROTARY STUDENT LOaN FUND COMMITTEE December 5, 1941. Your committee of the Rotary Student Loan Fund composed of Caryl Dodds, Lyle Gibbon, ‘Jalter Keeler, Ike J, lieade and Karl Klooz appointed by the President of the Rotary Club to study the audit Report and bring back to the Board of Directors some recommendation concerning the Rotary Student Loan Fund, wishes to report as follows: The one $1000.00 Republic of Chile 6% External Sinking Fund Gold Bond, dated October 1, 1926, due April 1, 1960, being bond No. li 37749, be retained by the Rotary Club since its current market value at this time is approximately only 144¢ on the dollar, the Committee feeling more can be realized in holding same instead of liquidating it, The Committee also recommends that the $400,00 Douglas County Building & Loan certificate #C 7217, dated January 1, 1937, the $18 ,00 interest collected and on hand on the above certificate, and $101.78 for sale of U. S, Bonds of the amount of $153.91 mentioned in the Audit Report covering sale of U. S. Bonds, a total of $519,78, be returned to the General Fund of the Lawrence Rotary Club, as it appears that these are funds that were invested from the general fund of the Club, The Committee further recommends that the Balance Cash on Hand in the Rotary Student Loan Fund $198.98, that $52,13 of the amount of 153.91 covering sale of U, S, Bonds and $129.89 interest on hand on the Chile Bond, a total of 381,00 be turned over to the K, U. Student Loan Fund, together with the outstanding loans amounting to $328.00. All members of the committee were present for this meeting with Keeler and the Chairman had an expression from the exception of Walter Jd. th the above recommendations. him and his views are in harmony wi Rotary Student Loan Fund Committee Caryl J.

Horkmans agreed to stand sponsor on the note if Douglas could not produce a letter from someone connected with the Athletic association recommending him for the loan. Later on Mr, Karl Klooz recommended him for the loan, and stated that he was doing satisfactory work, and I take it that Lr. Horkmans is not in any way obligated to pay the note). Received from I, i. Meade, the above notes totaling $378.00, and cash amounting to ran $138 .63¢ Aug. 12, 1938. C. B,. Russell, Treasurer Lawrence Rotary Club Lawrence, Kansas liy dear Mr. Russell: Referring to our conversation relative to Chile Bonds at the luncheon today noon, I am re—hashing some information and sending a copy of this letter to Mr, Karl Klooz that he may bring the matter before the Rotary Club Directors, as perhaps no one who was a Director in 1930, is a Director at this time, The © facts are as follows: ~ — As Treasurer of the Rotary Student Loan Fund, I found that it was taking too mich of my time and personally felt that I would like to continue it as a distinctive Rotary Fund by ceasing to make any more collec- tions or making any more loans, about July 7, 1933, I made up a complete state~ ment of this fund and a supplemental statement on Sept. 15, 1936, which shows that I have on hand as Treasurer, the sum of $198.98 and the old Rotary Notes as per list. I was authorized by Resolution of the Club to turn over to Paul A. Dinsmoor and iJalter G, Thiele, the sum of 9981.48 and they were instructed to invest it in bonds and pay the interest annually to some form of student activity. I gave them my check on the Rotary Fund for the amount, $981.48. hile they were in the Bank, they went over to hir. Fe We Hosford and purchased from him a Chile Bond, $1000,00 Par, on hay 6, 1930, for $921.25, This was the actual bona fide market for Chile Bonds at that time. after the sale was made , they came back to my desk and I expressed a regret that they did not buy an Argentine Government Bond drawing the same rate of interest. Now it so happened that my guess as that time would have been good. I think also, Mr, Russell that if you will check your records, this bond could have been sold for this price or very near this price for several months after this purchase, and as I understand, it was turned over to you and that one of the coupons which could have been cashed when it was due, was permitted to be carried and was not presented until some time afterward when all Chile Bonds went into default. The amount of money I paid them was $981.48, and after pur- chasing the Chile Bond, they had sufficient funds to purchase a U, S, Govern- ment $50.00 bond, and I am assuming that the Rotary Club still has this bond, Now I am not writing this letter to criticize anyone or clear anyone's skirts in the transaction. However, I know that I worked faithfully to collect in this fund and used ordinary diligence in loaning it out, but in every case I secured a recommendation from someone on the Hill before making the loan. Now the condition of this fund at this time is that I have in my account as Treas— urer, $198.98 and the 378,00 worth of notes, The Rotary Club should have the &50,00 bond, and the Chile Bond which is worth about $195.00 at this time, Mr, Dinsmoor and Mr, Thiele of course acted in good faith, and Mr, Hosford acted in good faith in selling the bond and he sold them the kind of bond that they desired to purchase and at the then market. I am giving this information that the matter might be brought before the Directors with any action that they may wish to take in the matter, and I am enclosing herewith the statement in detail and the supplemental statement and am asking that you present these to the Directors as I do not have an extra copy, — only for my files, Very truly yours IJM:BEM:ENC.
