The President explained that the idea of this change was to have non-Lutherans who are interested in the College, become Associate members of our Auxiliary. No plans for the organization of such members has been made, but that separate chapters may have to be formed. A promotional Committee may be organized to aid Auxiliaries and obtain speakers.
