34. Stipulate

In the article, “Embracing Global Change” by Steve Lyston (The Gleaner, 10/10/11), he observes that, "Things are changing so quickly on a global level each day — from business and politics to modern technology, sports, personal desires and marketing strategies — the world is seeing changes...."

“In the past some organisations would stipulate that only persons with masters degrees or PhD's could hold certain positions.”

Stipulate means: to specify as a condition or requirement
Do you know what 'glean' means (as in Gleaner - the name of the newspaper)?
