If warrant is called during agreed duration of the note all moneys in excess of the face of the note are to be returned to the owner of the warrant. If warrant is not called during agreed duration of the note, the debtor may have the privilege of renewal, or extension, of the note at the discretion of the Committee. In other words, the note is the binding legal agreement between the debtor and the Student Loan Committee. REPORT FROM ENGINEER ON NEW ATHLETIC FIELD.
