I Volume 3 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 Holders of Tickets to the John McCormack Concert: In order to facilitate the handling of the large audienec which will be present at the McCormack Concert in Hill Auditorium, Tuesday evening, Nov. 22, the Management of the University Musical Society asks for the co- operation of all by complying with the following requests:9 1.

Class rushes were regarded as "too hazardous" in 1890, and so the tug of war was instituted. ISTUDENTS LUNCH1 A glorious climax, that Min- nesota game! .
