Executive Committee: j . C. Kern, C. J . Jacoby, R. L. Mathews, R. W. Mann, J. S. Gottlieb, M. ]. Gardner Student government serves both as im- mediate need and ultimate goal. In the present, student government is the means by which the manifold extracurricular pursuits of Tech students — athletic, liter- ary, musical, dramatic, and social — are supervised and administered. For the fu- ture, the training and experience gained by participation in student government inculcates the responsibility, leadership, and initiative so essential to the develop- ment of character and personality. Coin- cident with the attaining of technical and professional proficiencv, college experi- ence must equip the graduate to take his place in his community as a responsible, socially-conscious citizen, particularly in our present technical age, when the con- INSTITUTE COMMITTEE tributions of the engineer and scientist so affect the public welfare. The ultimate end and cardinal precept of student govern- ment is to provide the opportunitv for such training. All legislative, executive, and judicial power pertaining to the administration of the complex structure of M.I.T. activities is vested in a representative body known as the Institute Committee, which meets biweekly to consider all matters pertain- ing to student affairs. Numbering thirty- five men, the group consist of three repre- sentatives from each of the four classes, the chairman of the seven standing subcom- mittees, and the delegate of the sixteen most prominent activities on campus. The president of the senior class is president of the committee, the chairman of the Walker Memorial Committee is its secre- tary, and the chairman of the Budget Committee is its treasurer. From among its membership, the group elects a vice- president and two members-at-large, who together with the president, secretary, and treasurer comprise an executive committee whose function it is to gather facts and John Kern, Treasurer, gives his report to the Committee Members
