    "ocrText": "M\n-5-\nWe did not vant more than 12 students at Syracuse but considered 25 our full\nquota at the other colleges. I planned to visit Fort Collins and Penn State;\nhowever, since the Red Cross is so ably representad in each of the colleges\nperhaps a visit from National is not necessary this year. Miss Bagby will\nacquaint you with all correspondence regarding these courses.\na\nIt is my feeling that this work should be self-supporting with the\n5\nexception of Syracuse. An effort has been made to bring this about.\nIt\nis my feeling that instead of setting up an appropriation of from $10 to $20\n)\neach year for each college to cover miscellaneous expenses, that it would be\nquite all right for the colleges to charge the students a laboratory fee of\nabout $1.50, this money to be used for that purpose. Syracuse are charging\n$2.50 this year as a laboratory fee and are going to use it in this way. I\nhad a personal conference with Dean Chambers of Penn State and he is quite\nagreeable to the idea but does not know that it can be carried forward this\nyear as I did not approach him soon enough. I have not taken the matter up with\nDean Avery of Fort Collins, Colo., as they increased their tuition ao much this\nyear that it might work a hardship on the nursea.\nI have started the fee at\nthe University of California but have not explained to Dean Watkins regarding\nour plan, as in one of his letters he was very much disturbed over the financial\nsituation at the University, even asking us to take a larger enrollment if possible.\nMy correspondence with him will explain the details in full. Miss Haig has cop-\nies of this material and plans to visit the college this aummer and it is possible\nyou may insh her to take up this matter with him.\nMiss Bagby will explain to you the detail of our summer session budget\nand set-up. However, I would like to draw your attention to a commination\nwhich Mias Dunn had from Dean Chambers sone time ago. The instructors in the\ncollege were asked to sign a statement that they were willing to take a redue-\ntion in salary in case the emrollment would be so seriously affected that there\nwould not be funds enough to balance the summer school budget. (As you\nknow\nMiss Dunn is being paid $300 by the College for her work this aummer, this money\nreverting back to the summer session budget, as Miss Dunn is continuing on our\npayroll at her present salery, with an allowance of $125 for living, and also\nfull allowance for travel.)\nFor the past two years Miss Norlin has had an allowance of $50 from\nthe\nRed Cross for travel. Mrs. Baker had some idea of discontimming this, but\nhad not nade a definite plan, so I have asked for this allowance in this yoar's\nbudget but have not given Miss Norlin any assurence that she would receive it.\nI would favor the idea of giving her this money this year if possible, with the\nunderstanding that it would be the last year that the Red Crosa would continue\nit. However, if there is a serious reduction in the salary which Miss Dunn will\nreceive from Penn State, it may not be possible to give the $50 to Miss Norlin,\nbecause we are depending on that $300 to practically carry our budget for the\nEastern Area.\nI also feel that whenever possible the Red Cross should have one re-\npresentative at each summer course, acting as director or assistant. This not\nonly brings something back to the Red Cross but contributes a great deal to the\n2\ncourse.\n2"
