TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1921
Number 50
To Deans, Directors, Superintendents, Heads of Departments, and Others:
Subject: Official Communications to the Board of Regents
In the interests of clarity and efficiency it may be helpful to call atten-
tion again to the regular method of presenting subjects for consideration by
the Board of Regents.
1. Meetings of the Board are held regularly on the last Friday of
each month. Occasionally it is necessary to hold special meetings when
important matters require attention. The annual meeting is held in June,
two days preceding commencement.
2. In order to secure action upon any subject, the regulations of the
Board require that communications must be filed with the President eight
lays prior to the meeting of the Board. For example, the next Board Meet-
ing occurs Friday, Dec. 9. k Communications must be in this office
at the very latest on Thursday, Dec. 1. It is earnestly suggested that com-
munications be sent in just as early as possible. Ample time is then
available for careful study and investigation. Favorable and prompt action
is assured by this method. When all communications arrive on the last day
it makes it extremely difficult to prepare the docket satisfactorily. Even
the mechanical and clerical work in volved requires time. It should be un-
derstood that the order of business was changed last October and that there
is no provision for a "personal program" of the President.
3. Certain details in regard to the communications should be kept in
mind. Twelve copies of each communication are required. These copies
should be clear and distinct. Official blanks for the purpose are provided
and can be secured from the Deans or from the Secretary.
4. By action of the Board on Oct. 1, 1920, it was officially provided that
no communications need be sent to the Regents regarding resignations, ap-
pointments, promotions, salary adjustments ad leaves of absence "except
those involving additions to the budget or involving 'appointments of pro-
fessors, associate professors and assistant professors, and except in cases
of unusual importance or where significant policies are involved". This
statement should be clearly understood. Any matter not provided in the
budget must go to the Board of Regents. -Likewise any plan to use funds for
tther purposes than those specifically stated in the budget must be submitted
to the Regents.
It should also be remenmbered that "appointments of instructors and
assistants arp to be in the hands of the President and the proper Dean, and
are to be reported to the Board by the President". Therefore these matters
relating to resignations, appointments, promotions, salary adjustments and
leaves ofAbsence should be presented by heads of departments to the Deans
and by them to the President. We are in a position to act quickly and au-
thoritatively regarding all matters provided for in the budget and dealing
with appointments below the rank of assistant professor. These matters
are handled by the President and reported to the Regents.
& An official communication to the Regents should contain the infor-
mation necessary to a real understanding of the problem. It should be
clearly stated whether the matter is provided for in the budget and exactly
what effect it has on the budget. Full details regarding appointees should
be included. For the official records it is necessary to have the full name
and degrees of a candidate and a complete record of his experience. Per-
tinent facts should be clearly stated. Attention should be specifically called
-to the implications of a proposed action. If precedents, principles or poll-
ties are involved a sraight-forward candid discussion will facilitate mat-
ters. If as educational officers we expect confidence to be placed in our
recommendations, then they must be made with care and with a serious re-
gard for the welfare of the institution as a whole. The usefulness of an
administrative officer is largely determined by his ability to make sound
recommendations which will stand severe scrutiny.
These statements are made in the interests of mutual understanding and
the efficient conduct of the University.
M. L. BURTON, President

TO
the
the
1921,
members of
Varsity-
I
Washington, Nov. 21. - In an emo-
tional plea for national security pro-
nounced by Aristide Briand, her pre-
mier, France informed the arms con-
ference today that however deeply he
might be moved by the call to lighten
the burden of armament, he dared not
destroy the effectiveness of her army
so long as the situation in Europe re-
mains what it is.
Class rushes were regarded as "too
hazardous" in 1890, and so the tug
of war was instituted.
