THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 159 



The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read. 



The Chairman reported success in raising the necessary funds to 

 liquidate the debt of $120, which the Alumni Association contracted 

 in issuing a scholarship for the Junior year of 1911-12. 



Upon motion of Mr. Henning, which was seconded and carried, 

 no scholarship shall be issued after the year 191 2- 13, until the Asso- 

 ciation has succeeded in raising a sum of money in the neighborhood 

 of $3,000, or until such provision is made to warrant the awarding 

 of a scholarship. 



Secondly, the College prospectus shall cease printing the awarding 

 of- such scholarship until further notice*. 



It was suggested that in the near future a typewritten letter be 

 sent to each member of the Association for a contribution, ranging 

 from 50 cents and up, and asking for their co-operation in trying to 

 establish a permanent scholarship fund. 



There being no further business it was moved, seconded and carried 



to adjourn.
