The proposals made by Dr. Jackman Pyre at the last regular meeting in regard to arrangements for the Annual Picnic were discussed.
Dr. Kent remarked that he could not see why there should be an assessment added to the dues.
Dr. Cogswell said that the committee, when figuring costs, realized that the usual $5.00 would not cover costs, and that raising the charge to $7.50 for reservation would not go over, and that the only alternative seemed to be making the assessment. Dr. Cogswell also reminded the members that more guests were being invited, in the interest of public relations, and that this would raise costs.
Dr. Kent inquired why this Picnic should be made so expensive.
Dr. Steen stated that the Entertainment Committee had suggested making a routine yearly assessment of $2.50, in addition to the charge for the Picnic.
Dr. Hayden moved that the Secretary notify Dr. Pyre for the Entertainment Committee that this is not to be made an annual assessment, but taken care of from year to year as dictated by circumstances. Motion seconded by Dr. Kent, and carried.

Dr. Cogswell informed Dr. Kohl that the Board of Censors would receive a letter from Dr. Sanger regarding his problem with Dr. Busse.
Dr. Kohl said that Dr. Sanger had visited him at home on Sunday and spoken of this, saying that he did not wish to resort to legal action, but felt that perhaps the Board of Censors might speak with him, telling him that his services were no longer required. Dr. Kohl inquired what the Board of Directors had advised Dr. Sanger to do.
