Faculty Committees

It was moved by Mr. Collins that faculty committees be set up in the College. The membership of these proposed committees to include one representative from each of Stages II, III and Honours, and all staff members of the department ex officio. Mr. Scoones moved an amendment to the effect that one representative from Stage I be included on the committee. In support of his amendment he pointed out that many Stage I students are not necessarily freshers but may be doing advanced lectures in other subjects at the same time.

The motion as amended was carried.

The purpose of these committees as outlined by Mr. Collins was to provide means for co-operative discussion between staff and students of problems arising during their courses. Such a medium already exists in other universities. The success of such a scheme will, of course, depend on the interest of students.
