The Executive Board IJ.-KST year an executive board, composed of the officers of the Freshman class and the chairmen of the several connnittees, was formed to manage the affairs of the class. This was so obviously an improvement over the old plan that it was continued by the Class of 1920. Under the old plan the com- mittees worked independently, with occasional advice from the president, but no connection with one another. This system was both inefficient in operation a11d injurious to the unity of the class, since the control of the various activities was divided among several committees with no cooperation. The plan of an executive board was a great improvement, for it gave the class officers, the chairmen of the committees, and the editor and the chair- men of the several departments of the Red Book, an opportunity to keep in touch with each other. The board was to meet once a week, but conditions this year interfered with the regularity of the sessions. The meetings that were held, however, demonstrated its value to the class. The report of each chairman was heard and considered, and the difficulties were discussed and disposed of. Such an important question as that of the cancellation of the class dinner was settled more effectively by the entire executive board than it could have been by the Dinner Committee alone, since the former repre- sented more fully the sentiment of the class.. The executive board has unquestionably justified its existence by providing the means for a closer co- operation of the several departments of the class administration. Iilzil
