Jerold W. Apps Department of Agriculture and Extension Education University of
Wisconsin 208 Agriculture Hall Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Dear Jerry: I have
enclosed a copy of the several forms and form letters I have used to carry on
the work of the Membership Committee. Since I devised all of these forms on my
own initiative you are perfectly free to develop your own as you see fit.
Applicants for membership formerly had to submit a narrative report, containing
all the information called for in the "Membership Information"
statement. I thought that a membership application form would simplify the
membership application process for everyone and therefore devised the form
enclosed. I have made some brief notes on each of the mimeographed pieces
indicating how I used them. I am sending under separate cover the leftover
copies of the "Membership Information" statement. I'm not sure that
you will want to use them because my name and address appear at the bottom of
the second page. But you might want to use them until you get some ones
reproduced. My supply of the application forms is exhausted and the other
letters have our University letterhead on them so they wouldn't be of any use
to you. Jerry, if you have any questions about any of the enclosed materials
don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, GDR:sms George D. Russell Assistant
Professor Enclosures

Dr. Arthur W. Burrichter College of Education Florida Atlantic University Boca
Raton, Florida 33432 Dear Dr. Burrichter: I regret to inform you that the Membership
Committee of the Commission of Professors of Adult Education has not
recommended approval of your application for CPAE membership at this time.
Please examine the enclosed "Membership Information" statement. You
will note under "Membership Eligibility" that certain criteria must
be met in order to qualify for Commission membership. At the time you submitted
your application you were not able to answer "yes" to all the items
checked in red. Therefore in observing the membership criteria the Membership
Committee has no choice but to deny membership at this time. However, from
other comments made in your application, it appears that you may soon be able
to meet all the necessary criteria. Therefore, I urge you to reapply as soon as
you think you are fully qualified. The membership and the chairmanship of the
Membership Committee of the CPAE was changed as of the time of the annual
meeting in October. Therefore, any new inquiry or reapplication should be
directed to: Dr. Jerold Apps, Department of Agriculture and Extension
Education, University of Wisconsin, 208 Agriculture Hall, Madison, Wisconsin
52706. Sincerely, George D. Russell Assistant Professor GDR:sms Enclosure cc:

DuBois Associate Professor of Education Boston University 765 Commonwealth
Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02215 Dear Gene: This will acknowledge your letter
of November 5. The records show that at the Executive Committee meetings
preceding and during the Des Moines Conference in 1968 (before my time), all
funds held in special accounts were utilized for the survival of the total
Association. In light of our improved financial situation, our Executive
Committee suggested at its meeting in Atlanta that a thorough review be made of
our moral commitment to our several special accounts. Based on our 1970 audit,
the subsequent actions of the Steering Committee which will meet on January 15
and of the Executive Committee which meets on February 25, some action will be
taken relating to these special accounts. With best wishes, Jules Pagano
Executive Director

Griffith Associate Professor of Education Department of Education The
University of Chicago 5835 Kimbark Avenue Chicago, Illinois 6o637 Dear Bill: I
must apologize for a "goof" at my end. The letter of November 13
should have acknowledged confirmation of your selection "as Chairman of
the Commission of Professors" and not of the "Commission on
Research." Russ Kleis has received a letter confirming his selection
"as Chairman of Commission on Research." Referring to your statement
on the inadvisability "for the Executive Committee to interfere with the
selection of chairmen within commissions." I would readily agree. However,
it was my intent to include the names of Chairmen of Commissions with the
nominations of Chairmen of Standing and Ad hoc committees, in my formal
presentation to the Executive Committee, for confirmation, at its October 30
session. This action would assure, at least, a "reasonable
fulfillment" in spirit of the statement set forth in the AEA-USA
Organizational Handbook, Rev. ed. January 1, 1967, page 11 - "Commissions,"
part B, "...The Chairman of a Commission shall be elected with the advice
and consent of the President of the Association." Not assuming the office
of President AEA-USA until October 30, I could not officially advise the
Commission concerning its candidates for election. Having been informed
verbally on October 29, of your election as Chairman of the Commission of
Professors, and meeting with the new AEA-USA Executive Committee on October 30
the formal action of "President's consent" was implied in the presentation
to the Executive Committee of names for official confirmation. It is to be
noted that a rewriting of the AEA's Organizational Handbook is being
undertaken, this year, to correct and/or modify selected statements made
obsolete by the AEA Constitution revisions of 1969 (Del. Assembly action). We
will also take a careful look at Section VIII "Commissions."

Page Two Thank you for your letter, Bill; I do regret the "goof" made
in my office at Montclair State College. A rush to get letters, lists, etc.,
out to those concerned does increase the frequency of "goofs."

Wisconsin 208 Agriculture Hall Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Dear Jerry: I have
enclosed a copy of another form letter that I used in connection with the work
of the CPAE Membership Committee. The contents of this letter explain the
purpose for which it was used. I believe your own membership came about as a
result of this letter. You now have a copy of all the forms and form letters
that I used to carry on the work of the CPAE Membership Committee. Best wishes
for a Happy Holiday Season. Sincerely, George D. Russell Assistant Professor

Jerry: Gale E. Jensen has agreed to serve on the Membership Committee of the
Commission for 1970-71 under your leadership. He has a good understanding of
the history of the Commission and will be an invaluable resource as your
committee considers the problems of membership standards and the relationship
of the Commission to the rapidly increasing number of professors who teach one
or more courses in adult education. Sincerely yours, William S. Griffith,

Griffith, Chairman Commission of the Professors of Adult Education The
Department of Education The University of Chicago 5835 Kimbark Avenue Chicago,
Illinois 60637 Dear Bill: Let me give you just a few random ideas as concerns
my proposal for a Commission newsletter. I would see this newsletter
essentially diffusing inputs from Commission members themselves. I would
further see such inputs being very brief and consisting of such things as
puzzling questions which bug me, a newly developed course which I am about to
teach, titles of student research proposals recently approved in my department,
dissertations recently defended in my department, a book that I find very
useful in the teaching of a course or courses for which I have responsibility,
etc., etc., etc. Now such "hot" information could be useful in a
number of ways--not the least of which is to serve as a sort of base from which
little sub-cultures within the Commission could form. On the questions of
finance, I think an individual from an institution should take this on for a
year and. see what happens. Certainly there is an individual who is a member of
an institution that is financially lucrative enough to finance this for one
year. If after that initial year it proves to be valuable, then perhaps we
could think of seeking outside support for its continuance. I wish you a
pleasant holiday season. Sincerely, Professor and Associate Head Department of
Adult Education

Dear Bill: I've finally had some, time to work on the membership committee for
the Commission. I've received several letters and pieces of information from
George Russell but so far what I lack before I believe our committee can really
start work is a complete membership list which includes those who have been recently
accepted by the Commission. According to your October 30 letter to George
Russell there were some 24 individuals whose applications were pending. Have
decisions been made about the applicants? As soon as I have a complete list, I
would like to make some suggestions to the other members of the membership
committee concerning our activities for the coming year. I also have a request
from Don Blackburn at Guelph. Don wants to write to all new members of the
Commission advising them about what Don's committee on research and
dissemination committee is doing. Best wishes for the holiday season.
