### Meeting of the Circle of Thirty (without Rudolf Steiner)

I arrived a little late and thus right in the middle of an excited discussion of the “Appeal to the German Goetheanum Fund”, which was being proofread. Leinhas in particular was very critical.

Afterwards, the inner structure of the group's work was discussed, along with the establishment of rules of procedure, etc. I explained that I was willing to keep a “diary”, but that the entries would have to be approved by the group. I then asked Unger, who was elected chairman, how I should go about this. He said he would let me know next time.

In the meantime, No. 6 of “Anthroposophie” had been distributed and the various publications were discussed.[^1]

Then reports were given about the Stahlbusch affair and about opposing personalities who were employed (!) at the Waldorf School, the fiancé of the foster daughter of Frau von Drachenfels, the cook of Frau Leicher (?), etc.

Leinhas announced that the Kennenburg project could not be pursued by the Kommende Tag due to financial difficulties. (At the Clinical-Therapeutic Institute yesterday, he had communicated the actual reasons for the rejection: Husemann could not take on a new task before the task of promoting the remedies had been resolved. Der Kommende Tag must ensure that the institute is profitable and encourage the doctors to work in this direction).
