VOL. XUI WOLFVILLE N. S., OCTOBER, 1956 NO.4

BY WAY OF INTRODUCING TWO ARTICLES:

Money is always an important facror in maintaining an educational insti­ tution, and in the maintenance of a more or less privately supported university such as Acadia is, the gerting and dispensing of this necessary wherewithal can become at rimes a hair-greying procedure. Therefore the editor without any qualms of conscience is reprinting two papers in this issue of the Bulletin thar have to deal with facets of this perennial problem. He beseeches the most careful attention of every alumni to the said articles. Both have a special relevancy ro the situation at our alma mater. (See pp. 16-24) .

BY WAY OF SOME FURTHER INFORMATION:

At the annual meeting of the United Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces held at Wolfville, August 30 and 31, the resolution to amend the constitution of the Board of Governors was considered (See Acadia Bulletin, June 1956, pp. 7, 8). This resolution with a slight amendmenr was adopted, raising the number of Governors from twenty-four to thirty and allowing the alumni to choose fourteen of these without geographical restrictions so long as they are members in good standing of a church of some Protestant communion.
