Freed, ’34 It was on March 14, 1928, that the Associated Students of the Division of Liberal Arts, in order to form an efficient machinery of student government under the charter given them by the Faculty, first adopted a constitution, binding upon them as a privilege and an obligation. Shortly after this move of the Arts anti Science division, the Departments of Law and Commerce also adopted a constitution which provided for student self-government in much the same manner. The officers of the student body consist of a faculty adviser who is the Dean of the division, anti four elected officers of government proper, president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. At the commencement of each scholastic year, an Executive Committee is formed. This committee includes representatives from every class, facilitating the handling of routine business. It is the supreme legislative body of the association. For the supervision of student conduct, a Board of Student Control is provided for. It is supreme in its own field, choosing its own officers and formulating its own by-laws. It is com|X)sed of the president of the association and two senior and two junior students, chosen by the Executive Committee. This board has the power to enforce all faculty regulations insofar as delegated by the president of the University, as affecting the name and reputation of the University, and to enforce student regulations expressed or implied.

SullivAn, ’32 Richard Fitzgerald. ’32 During the past year, the Division of Law and Commerce followed the example of the Arts and Science Department in the appointment of a Hoard of Student Control, whose powers arc identical with those of the latter board. Both student governments have functioned with remarkable success. They have managed to encompass efficiently every phase of student life, enforcing their regulations with authority and evoking a spirit of generous co-ojxration that would lx- impossible without a well-regulated student government. With the approval of the Executive Committee, the president of the Arts and Science Division yearly appoints a number of sub-committees. Two which are integral cogs in the affairs of the association are the General Activities Committee and the Games Committee. The first named keeps a calendar of all extra-curricular events taking place under University auspices, and the sanction of this committee must lx obtained before these events lake place. In this way conflicting dates arc prevented. The Games Committee manages the rooting section, arranges stunts, and in general, supervises the non-participants' part in athletic activities. In addition to the foregoing, there are three councils which supervise directly the interests and affairs of the association in regard to Publications, Forensics, and Dramatics. These are composed of faculty representatives of the various named activities, anil the respective student heads. The ability of the governing system to accommodate itself to the growing attendance at the University is a tribute to the foresight of its designers.
