JracTLitty JUepaFttmentt ew rulings for the removal of conditions went into effect this year. A fee of one dollar fifty cents is charged for permission to make up work necessary to remove the condition. If the condidon is not removed in the semester following its occurrence, it automatically becomes a failure. A Faculty Club consisting of all mem- bers of the faculty acts in a social-educational sphere. Meedngs are held regularly at which dme members of the group or prominent outside speakers give interesting and descriptive phases of various topics. Acting inde- pendently, but following the same procedure is the Women ' s Faculty Club, composed of the wives of faculty members. Once each semester, a joint dinner meeting is held.

KacniMy Jjeparfmeiitt Oeacls s a body, the University of Nevada faculty has ■ completed an active year of progress and change. Headed by Dean Maxwell Adams, acting President in the absence of Dr. Walter E. Clark, the group after lengthy consideration voted to set aside the last week of each school semester for final examinations. Under this scheme, from two to three hours can be devoted to tests in every course. This change is in keeping with the policies of the majority of the other western colleges. Many other duties confront the faculty in its yearly work. Approval must be given candidates for graduation, com- mittees investigate probable recipients of scholarships and establish rules for student conduct.

FaciLitty Ueparitmeiitt Jnleadis new distinction was gained by Nevada as a univer- sity in the recent election of Cecil W. Creel, director of the University of Nevada Agricultural Extension Service, to the presidency of the Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities at this year ' s meeting of that organization in Washington. The attainment of this position made the second Nevada staff member to head a national organization of institutions of higher learning, Dr. Clark having served as President of the National Association of State Universities. This appoint- ment was especially significant since only two other land grant colleges, South Dakota and Alaska, have smaller enrollments than Nevada.
