The June 14 meeting of the Baptist Ministers conference decided 37 to 14 not to expel Prof George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago. Ministers argued Foster’s exclusion from the conference but not from the church may suffice, with potential further “house cleaning” of other members. Dr. Melbourne P. Boynton voiced that Foster would remain in the church but could be barred from the conference.
