ed-a Central Body has Power Oyer
AlI--Committees will now Work Har-
moniously more Overlapping OF
Authority and Incident Scrapping.
| When President Purinton was
elected last June, he was authorized
by the aoard OF Regents to work
out a plan for the internal organlza-
! tion and government of the Uniyer-
sity which should not be so discon-
neeted as the separate committee
system which has bee in operation
for two or three years. After much
though on the subject and consulta-
with members of the faculty, Presi-
dent Purinton announced his new
scheme at full faculty meeti ng.
The best features of the committee
system are retained, but there is
such modification that the org ami
cation il now greatly unified and
simplified The administrative or.
ganization of the University insists
of first:
/ THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL.

powers:

2. To pass upon all courses of
fered, and to co coordinate them If
necessary.
3. To determine entrance re-
quirements,
4. To pass upon degrees and GER
| tifcates.

the action of any of the Unive rsity
committees.

ture This University Council is to
be in short the general legislative
body for the University. Each mem
Der of the Council will have one
vote. Tho members OF 1t are APP.
pointed by the President, and hold
office until their successors are APP

found necessary within the next few
days, these committees will be pub
lished The new organization is to
| take effect the first of Decem Der.
All of tho members of the faculty
are pleased with the new plan of
i University organization. 1t is com
Eprehensive, but simple and effective.
The actions of all OF the com mittees
must be reported to the University
Council for approval, revision or re-
lection. There cannot be any over
tapping OF duties or author; ty, as
there sometimes was under the old
committee system. The unanimous
verdict is that the President has
done most admirable piece Of work
in formulating this plan.
At the same faculty meet ng, the
report of the committee on Prepare
tory Requirements was sub tilted,
and freely discussed. The U niver-
sity Council will pass on it dou btless
ct its first meeting.
