e L ' AgenJ; At» mtmstrattnn i HE success of any activity dejiends largely upon the system of or- ganization back of it. A casual glance at a list of the organiza- tions that have to do with the governing of Bucknell would seem to indicate that there is an unnecessary number of men and women concerned, and that so many would lead to a duplication of effort. As a matter of fact, however, each of the several governing bodies has some one or particular work to do and duty o perform, with that particular duty prov- mg to be a sufficient task for the body thereof. The Board of Trustees, with its several committees on Instruction, Finance, Buildings and Grounds, and Publications, is at once a pilot and a court of appeal. Acting in the first cajiacity, the P)0ard determines what shall be the policy of the University and then keeps it rather definitely to that policw In the second capacity, the Board acts as mediator in whatever disputes may arise between the students and the faculty, or between any two organizations on the campus. The visible manifestation of the Board on the campus is the President of the L ' n ' versity, Emory W. Hunt, D.D., LL.D. The President is responsible to the Board through its Executive Committee. The immediate internal affairs of the University are divided between the faculty and the student body, the former taking care of the academic work, and the latter managing the other activities with advice from the faculty through an advisor which is appointed to act in conjunction with each of the student or- ganizations. The Dean of Men is Llewellyn Phillips, D.D. The Dean of ' omen is Anna Roberta Carey, A.M. The Deans are responsible to the President. It is their duty to solve the problems concerning the registration, curriculum, and social affairs. Practically, they attend to the unending, ever important details which are so vital in keeping the machine of activities running smoothly. 16 ■PWWWP

•■♦•V-if ' The UAgenda Aftntinistrntton — Continued In still closer tnuch with the students is the faculty which is composed of fort -seven men and women. The faculty has its committees on Adxanced Degrees. Admission and Registration, Attendance and Standing, Catalogue, Chapel, Curriculum and Courses, Honorary Degrees, Library, and Student Ac- tivities. It is through these committees that the faculty carries out its work. Alliletics at Rucknell are handled by a committee composed of the Presi- dent of the Athletic Association, two faculty memliers, and twelve members of the alumni who are appointed by the Board of Trustees. The President of the Univer-itv acts as Chairman ' e.K officio ' of the committee. The management of the business connected with the athletics rests in the hands of the Graduate Manager of Athletics. Every student wdio has paid his or her budget fee auto- maticallv becomes a memlier of the Athletic Association. Each of the four classes is organized with its own oflicers and committees. Tliere are also on the campus branches of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. Man other clubs and societies, not to mention the fraternities and the sorori- ties, occupy their jilaces in campus life. Two organizati(jns represent the self-controlling factor of the student body. Eor the men there is a Senior Council which is composed exclusively of Senior re]iresentatives from the fraternities and from the non-fraternity men. For tilt Women there is the Student Lioxeiiimenl Association which is composed of representatives from the three upper classes. It is these two bodies to whom the faculty and the Board of Trustees look for expression of opinion and action repi esentative of the student bod}-. Harmoniously do the three bodies, — the Trustees, the faculty, ruid the stu- dents work together, each in its particular field for a greater Bucknell.
