JOHN EVANS the Executive Committee sider the report of the Administrative Commit- tee headed by Chancellor Duncan, pertaining to the educational policy for the past year. Mrs. Simons, will you notify the members that We are to hold our annual meeting with the Board of Trustees on the Tuesday preceding Com- mencement? Is there a motion for adjourn- ment? l move that We adjourn, declares T. A. Dines, President of the Executive body. I second the motion, affirms A. L. Doud, Vice-President. Gentlemen, we are adjourned, declares john Evans. He turns, Mrs. Simons, will you see that the members of the Senate receive copies of the business transacted tonight? Yes,i' replies Mrs. Simons. That includes the Board, the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Deans and the faculty members of full pro- fessorial rank, doesn't it? Mr. Evans nods agreement. You will remember, reminds john Evans, because it is quite necessary that all Univer- sity policies and plans be discussed and acted upon with a full knowledge of the faculty atti- tude on our part as well as an understanding of the Trustees's purposes and policies. The Chancellor, as ex-officio President of the Senate, commands the services of the Vice- President and Secretary who are elected annu- ally. These three compose the Executive body. In addition, three standing Committees, one on Academic Policy, a second on Budget, and a third on Faculty-Trustee Relations, have been created. The Administrative Committee, or the Chan- cellor's Cabinet, lists the Vice-Chancellor, Deans of the Colleges, the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, the Registrar, and other mem- bers selected by the aforenamed officials. This group functions as an advisory body to the Chancellor on matters of educational policy.

During the past year, the gravest problem before the Executive group Was the selection of a Chancellor to replace Dr. Fredrick M. Hunter. Had a popular poll been taken among present and past University students, the new Chancellor would have been Dean David Shaw Duncan, the same scholar chosen by the Board of Trustees of the University of Denver. 0280

ir My Behind the University administrative screen is an atmosphere of buoy- ant humor and wit, a gracious and kindly attitude engineered by Chancel- lor David Shaw Duncan. The subtle shading of his character blends with faculty and students, until similar to an intangible gossamer strand, it threads the various personality looms with material essential to the weav- ing of harmonious patterns. Without the formality of knocking, a student is ushered into his office by Miss Hosmer, the Chancellor's secretary. Well, how are you? inquires Dr. Duncan slipping a paperknife between the pages of a faculty report. lust fine. I have a problem, announces the student, on which l'd like some help. The visitor proceeds to outline the situation which puzzles him. The thing to note, explains the Chancellor as he toys with a button on his vest, is that it is much better to step out of the situation and project your part in it into the future. I understand. Leaning back in his chair, he presses his index fingers together and proceeds to illustrate the point in mind With a story introduced by the familiar, Now as you will recall. Well, that certainly settles the problem, sighs the student. I'm sorry I bothered you. ' Bother, Dr. Duncan musses the sparse gray hair of his forehead. Bother, and his contagious laugh permeates the room. l'm here, he of small vigorous stature stands, and while.shaking hands says, to assist you. Come in anytime. And the golden thread of unfathomed understanding and insight has been delicately woven into another student's memory as has been the case from 1905 to the present. Neighboring the Chancellor's office is a Wide paneled door on which the Words Vice-Chancellor are painted. Many and varied are the rea- sons why students pass through this doorway.
