If it is decided that a chiropractic college is needed and its establishment is feasible, the best method(s) of accomplishing that end, including most economical and advantageous placement of such a college within the University of North Carolina, will be investigated.

The committee has agreed to use consultant services in its study, and will report its findings and recommendations to the LRC no later than January 6th.
