For this reason the Board an­nounces that even reason and logic demand that wherever pos­sible, this increased administra­tion fee be utilized for the above purpose. In the announcing of this decision, Directors Szalay, Ari, Dr. Prince, Brogley, Kun. Dobos, Siket, Lang, Szalanczy and Csö­mör voted “yes,” and Directors Macker, and Vizi voted "no.” 105. ) In accordance with the rules laid down relative to the honorary degrees, the Board unanimously presents Supreme Pre­sident Joseph Darago with the honorary title of “Acknowledged,” and the ornamental document with it.
