It is the sense of the Committee that the terms Benefactors and Patrons might be used at the discretion of the Board of Regents, but that no general use be made of such terms as Fellows, Contributors, Cooperating Patrons, or Members, or of any statement indicating recognition of gifts on a monetary basis.

If no other action is desired by the Board, the Committee requests that it be discharged from further consideration of the subject.
