k A D A E X EC U T I C U N C V E L I HE Executive Council is the executive com- mittee of the University Senate. The Senate is composed of all the members on the University faculty with a standing of assistant professor or above. Although the Council has no power to enact permanent legislation, it may formulate and enforce temporary regulations, which are referred to the Senate at the first meeting after the date on which they were passed. It deals with major cases of discipline and has power to expel, rusticate, or suspend any student, but it does not take action without affording the stu- dent an opportunity to appear and present his case. It also deals with questions of attendance affecting more than one college or school. The Council meets once a month or at the call of the President.

t t r A e o ro A R T S AND S C E N C E S Jacob Van Ek I O THE College of Arts and Sciences has been assigned the task of giving instruction to students whose aims in seeking higher education are very diverse. In the performance of this task, it has two primary objectives: first, to educate its students; and second, to give training or to lay the foundation for future training in some specific type of human activity. It is necessary for human beings to be trained for some particular activity: but the complexities of modern life and the involved problems confronting contempo ' rary society indicate that if the trained individual is to contribute his utmost to his pro- fession and at the same time be a worthy member of society, it is becoming increasingly important that he have some conception of the ideals, the methods, and the significance to modern life of disciplines other than his own special field. Without this broader knowledge and the liberal attitude as well as the tolerance which should become the equipment of those who explore various fields of knowledge, an individual is apt neither to appreciate nor to be concerned about the consequences of his actions to his fellow human beings. The aim of the College of Arts and Sciences then is not only to train its members, but also to instill in them certain habits of mind and attitudes toward the various fields of knowledge and toward their fellow human beings.
