The President of the University is also t.l1e President of the Council. This group is the Executive Committee of the University Senate, and is thus really the legislative body for interdepa.rtment.al academic matt.ers. The University Council considers problems of all kinds that affect the general Work and well-being of the University. The Council meets at the call of the President. It is the custom to meet at the noon hour, t.0 have lunch together, and, while at the luncheon table, to transact such bus- iness as comes before the Council. Always at t.he head of the t.able sits the President of the University. The Deans are arranged around the table in the chronological order of the founding of their Colleges and Schools respectively. Thus the Dean of the School of Theology is on the President's right handg the Dean of the School of Law on his leftg the Dean of the School of Medicine second on his rightg the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts second on his left: and so on around the table. ltlembers of the Council have been heard to say more than once that the meetings of the Council are the most enjoyable gatherings that they attend. Every single action of the University Council since Dr. Marsh became President of the University has been taken unanimously. The discussions are always on a high level, impersonal, objective. The common good of the University is the unifying spirit of the Council meetings. 24 President of the Urziversity Daniel L. lNIarsh College of Liberal ,lrts Dean Ralph VV.

Dean Ralph W Taylor A B A.M. y I COLLEGE 0F LIBERAL ARTS AMILIAR to earlier generations of Boston University students is this quota- tion from Longfellow: YVhere shall the scholar live? In solitude or in so' ciety? In the green stillness of the country, where he can hear the heart of Nature beat, or in the dark gray city, where he can feel and hear the throbbing heart of men? I make answer for him, and say, In the dark gray city. Life in all its variations and complexity lies about the student at Boston University. During the years of his undergraduate study here, he is in daily contact with a great community of persons, observing social organization at first hand, sensing human problems and needs, noting political and economic conditions. On the Whole he lives life more normally and more fully, with a greater awareness of the significant factors in human experience and coopera- tive endeavor, than the average student on many a college campus. Under- standing of life, preparation for life, adjustment to life, are fundamental prin- ciples in the University's educational policy and program. That the members of this year's graduating class may find readily places of great usefulness in society and make notable accomplishments in worthwhile employments, is the sincere wish of all of us who have worked with them in their programs of study at Boston University.
