Such presbyteries as New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Westchester are considering reducing their quota of delegates by half. This excited valiant Dr. Mark Allison Matthews, pastor of the world's largest Presbyterian church (Seattle's First), whom his fellows call "The Tall Pine of the Sierras." An expert on church law, Dr. Matthews thundered: "No presbytery has a right to elect less than its full quota. . . . If there is not enough money for expenses, let them walk.

...price of board in the Houses will be reduced from $9 to $8.50 for the full weekly quota, while weekly charges for 14 meals will be $7.25 and for ten meals $6.25.

A greater flexibility from year to year in regulating the number of first-year students...
...view of the continued financial depression there would be a large shrinkage in the number of candidates admitted who would find themselves unable to register on the opening day, and that it would be expedient, therefore, to admit a somewhat larger number without undue risk of exceeding the established quota. The Committee gave careful consideration to this suggestion, and while withdrawals were received during the summer as in previous years as the day of registration drew near a number of such withdrawals were canceled because the candidates had received aid from some unexpected source or because the financial burden seemed...
