ter president. Me- Lacey stated that
the chapter was confronted with de-
crease in membership this year and
the committee, with personnel of 80
members, will bring the advantages of
the institute to every eligible member
Both the Board of Governors and Board
of Consuls of the chapter will assist
in the membership campaign, under
which arrangement the number of in
stitute representatives in banks will
range from one to nine.
Where there is more than one COM
mittee man in a bank a key man has
been appointed, upon whom rests the
responsibility of his group. It was
stated that the membership for the
present year will approximate 500. The
reasons given for the prospective de-
crease are the reduction in personnel
brought about by bank suspensions and
the fact that recent legislation limits
the number of directors which may
serve on boards of individual banks.
Mr.. Lacey reported that there have
been 227 class enrollmentS for the Fall
term, which is highly gratifying in view
of the decrease in eligible students.
