THE CONFERENCE GROUP



(Board of Trustees Meeting, June 29, 1969)



eeeThe President reviewed the formation of the Conference

Group and discussed the election of its members. He also asked

for the inclusion of a member representing those affiliated

programs of the College which involved primarily federal projects.

The Board assented to the inclusion of this member in the Confer-

ence Group and talked further about the development of this new

part of the College's structure. One of the specific questions

discussed was the chairmanship of the Conference Group, and after

considering several possibilities, it was the feeling of the

Board that the role of chairman should not be emphasized, but

rather that we should follow a Quaker style approach of having a

convener, so that all participants would be as nearly equal as



possible.
