5. That the Memorial Day exercises he published in lomr >uiuble form. Tliere was much in that program which should be of permanent interest to alumni and other friends of the University. 6. That the University consider seri<>usi\ the reorganization of our employment service, other than that for teachers, taking advantage of suggestions gathered from our experience with the War Kmplovment Service. This seems of special importance for our returning soldiei s. JM 7. That the I'niversity, perhaps the I'niversity Senate, provide a permanent Committee to plan from year to year (1) a more adequate observance of certain important anniversaries, including one or more especially associated with the late war; (2) a continuance of conferences on civic and international topics, corresponding to those maintained during the past two years bv the War Committee. To a certain extent, this would involve an effort to correlate the efforts of the various colleges and departments. 8. That the I'niversity consider the possibility of expanding its extension service, so as to include not only the existing work of such departments as Household Economics and Agriculture, but other subjects of civic interest. There are obvious difficulties, but the problem should, I believe, be reconsidered in view of the changed conditions. The efficiency of our War Committee outside the University would certainly have been much greater, if a comprehensive extension service had been ready at hand. We did, of course, profit largely by the extension work of the departments above mentioned. 9. I call attention finally, to the recommendation regarding a War Museum in section VI of this report. E.
