President Donovar discussed with the Faculty the Servicemen's
Reedjustment Act, commOnly referred to as the G.I. Bill. He emphasized
the difficulties that have arisen as a result of the interpretation
placed by the Veterans Bureau On that section of the bill dealing
with the reimbursement to colleges and universities for the education
of the veteran. He outlined the efforts that have been made to persuade
the Veterans Administration to interpret the law in terms of the apparent
intent of Congress and indicated that there was still a necessity to
urge upon U. S. Senators and Repre~entatives from Kentucky the impore
tance of the adoption by Congress of the Rankin rmendment of such
other amendment as will insure the eQuitable treatment of all insti—
tutions in this respect.
