That the University make separate provision for extension work, so that such work when undertaken shall not divert from other useful channels the present resources and energies of the University. 3. That the Senate recommend the appointment, at an early date, of a director of University extension, who shall organize, systematize, and strengthen the extramural work already being undertaken; who shall establish a central office of administration with the necessary clerical force, to the end that the routine work of extension may not fall upon existing departments; who shall investigate conditions, and shall, under proper direction, establish the necessary and desirable divisions of University extension; and who, acting jointly with the heads of the different departments concerned, may recommend the appointment of such instructors, lecturers and readers as may be needed in the development of extension work. 4.
