COLLEGE COMMITTEE ON REORGANIZATION

The President stated that with the retirement of Dean Lewis he thought it an appropriate
time to study the curriculum of the College. Several months ago he appointed the following committee
to make such a study, and also to recommend a successor to the Dean. Professor Geldard, Chairman,
Professors Gooch, Shepperson, Stevenson, Runk, and Weedon. He said he believed the committee
would bring in its recommendations sometime next fall but, in the meantime, it would be necessary
to appoint an acting dean as in all likelihood the new dean could not assume office prior to the
1954-55 session. The Board approved a resolution authorizing the President to appoint an acting
dean of the College to serve until a permanent dean has been chosen.
