Enrollment exceeded 10,000 with President Pearse of Milwaukee initiating a debate on active membership. Pearse warned that restricting active members was wrong and equated acquiring active membership to a solemn ceremony. The report was seen as an attack on secretary Irwin Shepard of Winona Minnesota. Ella Flagg Young challenged the report, threatening slander suits if adopted. Further discussion was postponed as Shepard prepared a written reply. The piece also records athletic results and obituaries.
