(8) Wat use, if any, can be made of Leo Couch's BS-Leaflet 
 
 
          I have a few extra copies of this leaflet and will send it 
to any of you on request; probably you all have it.    This %oes at 
the matter from the standpoint of courses and curricula, though Couch 
makes the clear reservation that his suimary is not an attempt to set 
up standards or to analyze the courses qualitatively. 
 
     Summarizing now, in the form of specific questions:- 
(1) (a) Shall we proceed to consider standards for Active Membership 
          in the Society (provided the Membership Committee is willing)?

          If "No," that ends the matter for the time being at least.

          If "Yes," I will first open negotiations with Chairman
Bump 
          of the Membership Committee, and will then appoint a subcom- 
          mittee of our group to prepare a first draft. 
(2) No question.    "Accrediting" appears to be out. 
(3)  (a) With Leopold's first draft to work on, is it too much to ask 
          that each member of the Committee prepare a draft of his own.,

          or full comments, amendments, etc. re Leopoldts outline.   In 
          that way, we can first decide upon Me points of common agree- 
          ment and general disagreement. 
     (b) Assuming that we shall eventually reach common ground, what 
          will be the best way to get the results before the Society, 
          prospective students, and institutions? 
 
(4) What shall we do about publication standards? 
 
(5) Shall we "pass the buck" to either the members of the Society
or 
     to the institutions or to both? or shall we work by ourselves? 
(6) Shall we begin to tabulate Civil Service examination grades mgde 
     in the wildlife field?   If "Yes," I think we should have
a sub- 
     committee at work on this matter. 
(7) What shall we do about Civil Service standards? 
 
(8) What about Couchts report on courses aad curricula? 
 
Enclosures:-                            Sincerely yours,
