GIBRARD, Dallas DR. I. W. TORBETT, Marlin R. R. GILBERT, Dallas W. W. WOODSON, Waco BLANTON The purpose of the Advisory Committee of Southern Methodist University is best stated in an address by Mr. J. W. Blanton, the Chairman of the Committee: ttJesus be- lieved in proper publicity, and he used that as his plan for the establishment of his king- dom among men, and we have ample evidence of the great success of his plan. Would it be unwise to adopt his plan in making known the plan of the University for the building of life and character? Would those in authority be held blameless if they failed to tell the story which would point the way to 21 better and more useful life? Is it not then our duty as members of this committee to spread abroad the fullest information concerning the University, which, if done intelligently, will surely bring this inspiration? It is, therefore, the object and purpose of the Advisory Committee to broadcast the thorough work which we know to be so much in evidence at S. M. U., in order that the whole country may know what it offers, so its influence may be extendedWeDEAx E. D. JENNINGS. Andersson Cullum Blanton Ferguson, L.

RTANT CO RA GENE L R E L A N The Correlation Committee is made up of President Selecman, Deans Jen- nings, Shuler, Kilgore, van Katwijk, Flath, Potts, Zumbrunnen and Hay, and Registrar R. L. Brewer, who is the Secretary of the Committee. This group acts as an advisory committee to the President upon all matters of importance concerning the University as a Whole, makes rules and regulations concerning fraternities and sororities, passes on the applications of all groups for recognition on the Campus as approved organizations, makes nominations to the faculty concerning honorary degrees, and approves the College Calendar. This ranks as one of the most important and influential of all committees of the general faculty. PUBLIC LECTURES This commitee, now composed of C. A. Nichols, J. O. Beaty, C. M. Bish- op and C. S. Potts, has been assigned the duty of providing for public lectures open to all students of the University. Funds for this purpose have been made available by the Committee on Student Activities Appropriations. In the early years of the University the committee made arrangements for musical programs and for entertainments of various kinds. More recently, it has limited its undertakings very largely to public lectures primarily of educational interest. Frequently the speakers have been professors from other universities who have engagements in the Southwest, and Who Visit the University at very little expense. In the fall of 1932, the Appropriations Committee set aside a small amount for an experiment With the presentation of some of the older silent motion pic- tures. The response to these programs has surpassed all expectations, with an at- tendance as high as 1,300 on one evening. COLLEGE COUNCIL The College Council is composed of one representative from each of the siX groups of departments in the College of Arts and Sciences: English, Foreign Languages, Social Sciences, Science and Mathematics, Education, and Com- merce. The members are nominated each year by the President and elected by the Faculty of the College. The Council serves as an executive committee of the faculty and an advisor of the dean. The membership of the Council for 1932-33 is composed as follows: Dean Jennings, Chairman; Professor Smith, Secretary; and Professors Beaty, Myatt, Stephens, Boon, Nichols and Hauhart. a 22 a
