The internal organization of the School and the responsibilities of its officers and committees will be determined by the faculty of the College upon recommendation of the Executive Committee of the School and after approval by the faculties of the respective departments. The main purpose of the School will be to coordinate activities of member departments within the College, to promote cooperation between those departments and biologists in other colleges of the University, and to advance the interests of those departments in relation to agencies outside the University.
