rrHE BOSTON UNIVERSI'1'Y COUNCIL of deans is com- posed ofthe President of the University and the deans of the several colleges and schools composing the University. This group is the Executive Com- mittee of the University Senate, and serves as the legislative body for interdepartmental academic matters. The Council meets at the call ofthe Presi- dent. It is the custom to meet at the noon hour, to have lunch together, and, while at the luncheon table, to transact such business as comes before the Council. Always at the head ol' the table 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. Thus the dean ofthe School of Theology is at the Presidentis rightg the dean of the School of Law is at his leftg the dean of the School of Medicine is second to his rightg the dean ofthe College of Liberal Arts second to his left, and so on around the table. Memloers of the Council have been heard to say more than once that their meetings are the most enjoyable gather- ings which they attend. Every single action ol' the University Council since Dr. Marsh became Presi- dent ol' the University has been taken unanimously.

COLLEGE OE LIBERAL ARTS THE COLLEGE or LIBERAL ARTS is the oldest undergraduate de- partment ofthe University having a continuous existence. It opened its doors to both men and women students in 1873, a year after the undergraduate College of Music, discontinued from 1891 until 1928, was established. i Since the early days ofthe College, thousands of young men and women have climbed the wide stone steps on their way to classes, and spent their leisure moments on the marble. Many of the University's most noted alumni studied for their degrees at the College, not a few former students have returned to Boston Univer- sity to serve in many and varied teaching and administrative capacities. In 1906, extension and evening courses were instituted for those desirous of receiving credit toward a degree, but who could devote only a part of their time to studies. Ralph W. Taylor has been dean of the College since 1937. He served as registrar from 1918, and secretary of the College faculty from 1919, until he was appointed dean by the Trustees of the Uni- versity. In 1932, he was named director of the College and Exten- sion, Saturday, Late Afternoon and Evening Courses. Dean Taylor received both his degrees from the University. He was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts in 1911 with the degree of A.B., and received the degree of A.M. in 1922 from the Graduate School. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi.
