L: , . - '1- '. f Representatives of the administrative group who assist the president and Corporation as a whole are the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Deans of Engineering, Architecture, Humanities a11d Graduates. The Treasurer is entrusted with all matters pertaining to financial policy of the Institute. He, in conjunction with the Finance Committee, determines the budget for each fiscal year, directs the Institute,s extensive investments, and super- vises the use of the yearly interests derived there- from. The Secretary, although not a full-time member of the administrative group, plays an important part in the Institute,s organization. It is his duty to keep accurate records of the pro- ceedings of the four yearly Corporation meetings and to report them to the Board of Trustees. Each Dean is the administrative head of his department and conceives and supervises the departmental, inter-departmental and research Work of his particular school. As the Dean of Students advises the students in their personal problems, so the other Deans assist the men in their departments, acting as student advisors. In the Schools of Architecture, Engineering and Science are grouped those departments of study which lead to degrees and which embody the pri- mary educational objectives of the Institute. The Graduate School coordinates the work leading to advanced degrees in all the undergraduate de- partments.
