THE PRESIDENT GEORGE NORLIN What is the University of Colorado for; what is any university for? Let me answer that question by recalling to you a relay race in ancient Athens — a race run by night, in which each runner carried a torch to the runner ahead. If the runners ran too slow, they lost the race. If they ran too fast and extinguished the torch, they defeated themselves. The object was to carry the torch with due speed, but undimmed, to the goal. That, in a figure, is the object of a university. Mr. H. G. Wells said some years ago that history is a race between catastrophe and education. He might have said it a little more concretely that history is a doubtful race between barbarism and civilization, and that it is the business of education to keep civilization alive, to transmit to each gener- ation the significant achievements of past generations, to swing us into step with the forward strides of mankind, so that we, like the runners in the ancient race, grasping the torch from the runner behind, may speed it on to the runner ahead, not dimmed, but burning with a brighter light. DR. GEORGE NORLIN

Standing: Eckel, Goodykoontz, Van Ek, Carlson, Stearns, Dean Seated: Evans. Derham, Lester, Pres. Norlin, Washburn, Brown, Peterson EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Executive Council is the executive committee of the University Senate. The Senate is com- posed of all the members on the University faculty with a standing of assistant professor or above. Although the Council has no power to enact permanent legislation, it may formulate and enforce temporary regulations, which are referred to the Senate at the first meeting after the date on which they were passed. It deals with major cases of discipline and has power to expel, rusticate, or suspend any student, but it does not take action without affording the student an opportunity to appear and present his case. It also deals with questions of attendance affecting more than one college or school. The Council meets once a month or at the call of the President. MEMBERS PRESIDENT GEORGE NORLIN DEAN OLIVER C.
