Mr. Ra.th reconmended some changes to provide for a better controlled entrance to the gymnasium. Tb.a cost of the changes wauld amount to about $300.00, halt of which. will be pa.lit by the Turn:verein. The plan was approved.

Mr. Rath reported that the Senior class has decided to have the

graduation in camp at the end of the surmner term. The board sanction- ed this cbang-e but qecided to have a demonstration as uste.l in the

April 19, 1924.

The Comnittee appointed to decide the location of' the Fraternit.1 1mt reported that no decision bad been made a.s yet because -of the i?la- bility to get correct information through the contractor in Elkhart Lake. The board, tb.eref'ore, decided that Mr. Steicbmaim should go to Elkhart Lake as early as possible to report on the best location of' tba but and also attend to other ne.tters at camp Brosius.

Mr. Rath vas given a leave of absence begi:rming Tuesday, April 22, to attend the Convention of the American Physical Education Associa- tion at msnsas CitJ.

The Administrative :Boa.rd recomnended that Mr. Leo Doermg, one of tbe Senior students, be engaged as camp janitor during the S'Qmner session at $65.00 plus room and board; that an additio?lal dishwasher be engeged; that two more students be employed during tbe summer session to assist in the kitchen, mess ball and camp for which they are to receive f'ree room and board; and tbP.t four additional tables and ~he necessary benches be ordered for tbe mess ball. All of

these recomnendations were approved.

The Administrative Board also recomnended that Mrs. Mildred Mccart'bJ' be engaged as assistant to Mr. Rath. and counselor for the June camp at $200.00 plus room and board and that Mrs. Clapp o·f' Cinciml.a.ti be engaged as nurse for the June camp at

$so.oo

plus room am board.

Approved.

The :f'Urther recommendation to purchase a new s'klrleton was also approv- ed.

Through the reconmenda.tion of the ' Administrative Board, Aesttetic Dancing aas na.de an optional subject for men excepting tbe members of the Elementar~ cl.ass and the men eeoeiving scholarships.

Mr. Jacob m:i.zmar, who bP.d been appointed coach for tbe basketball team, was allowed the amount of one semester's tuition,

$45.oo,

as compensation for his work.

After considerable disaussion, the board decided to submit to a vote ot all members, the proposition to establisb.a third-~ar course next fall. Mr. Rath reported that five and probably seven menbers of tb.e present Senior class will return next year in case a third-y-ear course should be begun and that one or two graduates may also

attend.

It is hoped that additional students for the third-year course rr:s.y be secured because of the fact that in Indiana high scbool teacmrs of physical education are now required to complete a three-year

course. The cost of instruction wou.ld probably amount to $2000.00 to

$2400.00, while the inoane from,

say,

ten students (most of them menbe s of tbs Turnerbund) would probably amount to $1200.00. During tbe

first ~ar, at least, a deficit of $1000.00 to $1400.00 '!!13.1 be ex- pected. The board. herewith submits this '!!13.tter to a vote of tbs members. The ballot card will be found enclosed.

Mr. Scherer who bad visited camp Brosius made a ^r~port to the Board. He found tbit the best location for tbs rest .room or f'raterni tr b.ut to be erected would be to the east of' tb.e men's toilet on tb.e hill over-looking the lake. l'J:Ja.s!Illlcb as Dr. Sputb ba.d already- declared in favor of this location., the Board authori- zed the contractor to go a bead ^w.i. tb. the construction.

The :Board deeide·d to spend abau.t $300.00 for new matresses for the hotel and purch~se a :dew water pump for the pumping o :f' la 'Re

water into the tank.

The Board further deeidesl that fairl;V' largoe signs be erected along the different roads showing the direction to-rd call!P Brosius • It was also decided to put conarete posts under the large halls , as soon as possible.

Mrs. R.

o.

Tescban informed the Board.that she wau.ld not be in a position to re-new the mortge.goe of $!)000.00, due June lat, because she intends to use the proceeds of this mortgage for building.

Mr. Stempfe l was· ~utb.orized to findanotber purcb3.ser for the mortgage •

• 1 21, 1924.

The following names were submitted for the Honorary Degree of Master of Physica.1 Education: William Reuter, A. E. Kindervater, Karl Ziegler, and earl L. Scln-ader. The boa.rd decided to have the members ballot on these four names.

Upon recommendation of Mr. Rath, the ·.board decided to offer the position of Mr.· Rath's assistant to Miss Clara Ledig at a sa1ar1 of $2000.00. The appointroont of a new assistant begins next year because. of .Mr. Romeiser•s resignation and the board thinks it advisa- ble to have a woman assistant because of the large number of wo- men students. Miss Ledig taught in the grade schools of .Indiana- polis for five yea.rs, attended several summer courses. of tm Normal College and then attended for the year 192'2-23 after which sh9 was emplo10d in the Physical :Education Department of the public schools, at the same time finishing her work at the Normal Golle'ge so that

she will be graduated this year.

The board decided to invite Mr. Goorge Seibel, President of the

American ^G~astiv Union, to ·attend tbe con:airm.cement exercises at camp Brosius, June 25th. The commencement will be bald in Siebken's b.all which was offered to the college free of c\jirge-am Mr • .I!'.

Present: RS.th, Lieber, pantzer, Stempfel, RiohP.rdson and Scherer.

In the absence of Mr. Vonnegut, who was excused, Mr. Lieber pre- sided.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved with one correct- ion.

Mr. Donohue estimates the cost.of enlarging tb.e athletic field at about $2000.00. This would include the filling in of the low

ground towards the west so as to mi.Ire the entire field 375 feet . long,

am

extending from the road on the south to the road on the north. Mr. Donohue believes tha~ the cost ~n be reduced to about

$1200.00 if the ground on which the bask:et~ll courts are located be lowered to the level of the athletic field and this ground used for tbe filling in. This would necessitate the lowering of Jahn ball. The Board decided to, ask Mr. Donohue to go more thoroughl1 into the n:a.tter to see whether the field can not be mlde and graded at·less· expense.

Suggestions of .Misses Anderson and Zimmerli, who mlnaged the mess hall during the last :season, regarding enlargment of the kitc~n

were referred to Mr. Ra.th and Mr. Scherer.

Mr. Ra.th reported that the present class consists of 153 students, divided as follows:

,

Third-year class, 14 { 6 men, 8 women}

Second-year ^fl 66 {23 men, 43 women)

•

^- Third-year ^II 61 (19 men, 42 women)

·Elementary ^fl 12

Four :matriculated students, Hern:fl.n Freuck, Rudolph Heis, Walter Scherbaum, and Joseph Schweitzer, applied for the Scholarship and were recommend~d for such by the Administrative Board. Inasmu.ch as

three of these students belong to the :E:astern District, an thl'ee coming from Philadelphia, and inasmuch as the Board has heretofore allowed not more than two scholarships for one circuit, it was de- cided' to allow ~No scholarships for the Eastern Circuit and divide the amount equally between the three students. There were also five applicants for the one-vear elementary scholarship from the Pitts- burgh District. TheBe were 'handled in the same way; that is, two scholarships will be divided among the five applicants. The new stu- dents granted scholarships for the elementary one-year course, are:

Walter Engelbert, Minnesota.; Max Grob, New England; John P. Klein, Southern california; Emil Pletz, George Reichenbach, Henri Schiget, Ernst Senkewitz and Charles Stahle, Pittsburgh {two scholarships to be divided among the five students); Emil Preis, Illinois; Louis SSeles, Western New York.
