PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE To prepare programs which keep the faculty informed concerning educational trends and developments, to present several programs of educational interest each year, and to bring con- troversial questions in school routine before the faculty for discussion are the purposes of the Professional Development Committee. The committee, which consists of seven faculty members, meets once a month or as often as possible when programs are being prepared. Some of the major activities include preparing and determining the material for presentation at professional faculty meetings, arranging for university field courses and lecturers. and securing selected printed matter of current informa- tion for faculty distribution, such as 'GThe Ramparts We Defend and uThe. Story of Dum- barton Oaksfi Some of the outstanding speakers presented in the past have been Dr. Ralph W. Tyler of the University of Chicagog Dr. Howard W7ilson of Harvard Universityg Dr. Leon Kranz of Northwestern University, and Dr. John Marshall of the Institute of Nuclear Science of the University of Chicago. STUDENT-FACULTY CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE Equality is the first essential of a united world. It was with this idea in mind that the administration of Proviso founded the Student-Faculty Co-ordinating Committee only two years ago. Providing an essential tie between the teacher and the student, the organization en- deavors to solve problems which are not particularly related to any other jurisdiction. At the monthly meetings, both student and teacher express their opinions easily and Without em- barrassment. All sides of each issue are investigated and conclusions drawn from the findings. Bullet-ins, homeroom discussions, and publicity are used to stop the disturbing elements. The committee is in close contact with thc Student Council. Wiilson A. Law, chairman, and Bar- barba Groenke, secretary, are the only two officers of the committee.

Guiding with a gentle but firm hand the various responsibilities and activities of the 'ten student connnittees is Miss Dorothy Thompson. general chairman. Aiding her are fifteen faculty lIll'IIllJt'l'S. who are assigned io dif- ferent studcnt committees. Their responsibilities, in turn. are io act as faculty advisors to their assigned groups. The students are allowed to do whatever they desire, so long as their wishes are approved by the proper authorities, and arc in agreement with the constitution. Viihcn activities run legitimately and smoothly, these advisors are practically non-essential. They remain quiet and are, in reality, silent partnersii until a matter occurs that requires faculty attention. They keep the Student Council on an even keel. Page 19
