'•Understanding local members of the
Board meet today for consideration of Shanghai College reor¬
ganization proposition, I urge earnestly further postpone¬
ment until time can be given for a vote by the full mem¬
bership of the Board, This can be done promptly by special
letter to each member asking for telegraphic reply. I am •
sure any affirmative action today will create wide discus¬
sion, criticism, vigorous protest, and decreased receipts.
If possible, have my vote recorded in the negative as re¬
ceived by telegraph."
