At a joint session of the. two
groups Henry Hill, president of
Peabody College, Nashville, said
that “service rendered is the best
public relations.” The spejaker
pointed out that "in the United
States every person can be a lead
er, whereas in Europe only-a sel
ect few become leaders.
The Texas School Administra
tion Conference passed unanimous
ly a ' resolution "recommending
that this organization go on record
as favoring the appointment of a
committee, similar to the Gilmer-
Alkln committee, for the purpose,
of making a comparable study of
higher education in Texas.”
The T8CA elected Davis Hill,
