FACULTY I THE faculty as a whole usually meets the last Tuesday in every month. This group has no administrative duties, but is concerned with general faculty problems that may be referred to or originated by it. Its function is to investigate and recommend policies concerning matters such as faculty administrative policies, study of effects of required courses on student distribution and faculty loads, admissions, and inter- faculty and trustee relations.
