The Council acts as a permanent executive committee for the faculty and makes any recommendations to them that they deem necessary. Through this organization, which is composed of officers of the administration and heads of the departments, many of the old faculty committees have been abolished. This competent group of men deal primarily with problems relating to the curriculum. During the school year, 1934-35, they have done much towards educational reorganization within the University. Besides cur- riculum problems, the Council is responsible for any business concerning admission, attendance, standing, courses, registration, rules, regulations, and the summer session and extension. They discuss, consider, and approve various measures relevant to these subjects. The members of this ex-officio body are as follows: President, h omer P.
