The Board of Control is so impressed with the timeliness and importance of the subject matter of Captain Knox's article in this issue, entitled "Our Vanishing History and Traditions," that it deems it worthy of special notice, and sincerely trusts that there will be created such a lively interest as will result in the adoption of a successful plan.
Two discussions of this article appear on page 109 of this issue and in one of these Rear Admiral Strauss, who credits Captain Knox with the original idea, suggests the creation of a trust fund.
The Board of Control is in hearty sympathy with this suggestion and believes that the Naval Institute should render all possible assistance toward preserving the records in question; and has, in fact, under consideration the contribution of a substantial sum to such fund if created.
