Plans for providing a permanent foundation for the school of religion at the University of Iowa were discussed at a meeting of the trustees of the school. A committee, headed by E. P. Adler of Davenport, Iowa, was appointed to work out the plans.

The school of religion here, founded in 1925, was the first university school of its kind. Since its establishment, other universities have opened similar schools. Trustees of the school include men prominent in the Protestant, the Catholic and Jewish faiths.
