RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO PROCEDURE The Committee recommends that in dealing with the report the Senate consider 1 lie following procedure:— (1) That to facilitate study and discussion the Report tx printed in full. (2) That a printed copy be sent to each member of every faculty and to each administrative officer in the University of Illinois. (3) That extra printed copies be provided for general use within the University and for distribution in response to outside requests. (4) That the Senate hold extra stated meetings for the discussion of the Report and the consideration of proposed amendments. (5) That only such amendments be discussed or voted upon as shall have been presented in writing to the Secretary and placed in the hands of each member at least three days preceding any meeting. (6) That the Senate invite from all faculties overtures presenting amendments for consideration. The Committee has completed its report, and if the Senate is willing will be glad to be relieved of all further responsibility, but it appreciates the desirability of welcoming emendations from every quarter and at the same time the necessity of reducing to simplest terms the volume of suggestions which may come in. After careful consideration it is unable to recommend that the proposed constitution be referred to each faculty for working over, because primarily of the complications and loss of time which would be associated with the subsequent necessity of reducing several separate documents to a single form. The Committee is further of the opinion that the plan pro posed of inviting overtures from each faculty will reach the de sired end in a more efficient manner. 44 •
