U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S I095 partment, have been approved by the executive faculty of the Graduate School to be in independent charge of courses designed for graduate students or of theses to be submitted for higher degrees. The executive faculty shall consist of ten or more members chosen annually from the teaching faculty and the Dean who shall be ex officio a member and chairman of the executive faculty. Of this number, the teaching faculty shall elect three, and the remainder shall be appointed by the President in consultation with the Dean and the three members elected by the teaching faculty. The executive faculty shall advise the Dean in the administration of the school.™ There are usually two committees of the executive faculty of the Graduate School: one on graduate scholarships and fellowships, 30 and another on staff and courses. The Committee on Staff and Courses recognizes three types of appointees to the graduate faculty. First, there are extraordinary appointees, usually a few of the younger staff members authorized to give specific courses. In such cases it is the problem of the Committee to determine whether the staff member in question is competent to take full responsibility for a particular course. Persons elected to this class of membership are not considered regular members of the Graduate School teaching faculty. There is a second group of appointees composed of those who are considered regular members of the teaching faculty and are elected to what is called master's degree standing. Such persons are authorized to take responsibility for any part of a student's work in candidacy for a master's degree including the direction of the work on the master's thesis. They may also teach other suitable courses assigned to them by the departments and receive into those courses persons who are working toward the doctor's degree. They may not, however, guide the program or direct the investigation of candidates for the doctor's degree. Here it is the Committee's responsibility to determine whether an individual offered for such appointment has the intellectual and scientific or scholarly achievement which would justify putting such responsibility into his hands. Third, there are those who are elected to full standing on the Graduate School teaching faculty. Such persons are authorized to teach courses at any level and to be responsible for any aspect of the graduate training of a particular student.
