Faculty had approached her regarding the advisability of giving a Scholarship to the value of $150.
After considerable discussion it was moved by Mrs Weidenhammer and seconded by Mrs Germann that our Auxiliary provide for this year a Scholarship of $150 – Lutherans only to be eligible, it being the consensus of opinion that this should be the case because the funds of our Auxiliaries come from Lutheran Congregations. Other matters dealing with the Scholarship was to be left in the hands of the Executive Committee together with the Faculty. Carried
