The thieves, at least one man and one woman, apparently re- mained in the library after closing, and left ' through the front doors after taking the Medallion. The night watchman went through the library a few minutes after midnight - the case 'was_still' intact. At 2:30 amt, the college switchboard operator received a call from inside the college, and a girl requesteld the telephone extension for the sen' editor. A few minutes later the 5&3 phone rang, and the editor was told by a man Lhat "we havt just taken the President’s Mo< dallloll." , Ten minutes later, the editor was looking through the locked doors of the library. The glass of the side panel, of the viewing case, which had been smashed (after an attempt to use a glass cutter) by the thieves to remove the Medallion, was clearly vis- lble.

On the basis at these proposi- tions, the Committee made sug gestions on changes in direction and emphasis in a number of areas.
