CHANGE PLANS OF COLLECTIONS FOR MEMORIAL
Attorneys and Agencies Will Seek to Obtain Union Funds
ELLIOT QUITS POSITION
of Pledges
Committee Thinks New Method Will Result in Payment of Bldgrs.
The change was suggested at a meeting of the Memorial Corporation yesterday after the resignation of Mr. Kotliot, as treasurer had been accepted.
A change in policy to place collections in unpaid pledges to the Memorial Trust, which are the legal authorities of attorneys and commercial agencies will be worked out in order to continue their work.
Mr. Elliott had been in charge of the collections and while carrying on such work he sold the University to many people rather than merely asking for money. Mr. Ellsworth said, Karl Klobz, bursar, was appointed executive in the corporation. Mr. Hill is president and Mr. Ellsworth secretary.
Mr. Elsworth took over the task of collection several years ago but at the time he was working on the work of the building started. There had been no money collected and only a part of the subscriptions to the stairway were collected. The work of the building has been completed to the present unfinished state and no other collections have been acquired by the department.
The committee believes that the people will be approached in a better way by the new method and that they should be rewarded for the money to be paid. By such agencies of collection people may realize that the time has come when the government can work with them.
"Nothing is undone. All that has happened is the changing of hands of collection and a new policy," said Sherman Elliott.
