...second joint committee would be the Committee on Graduate Education. As we visualize its functions, it would primarily concern itself with such aspects of graduate education as are general to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and do not fall under the specific jurisdictions of the departments. We have particularly in mind problems and policies with respect to financial aid, scholarships and fellowships, assistantships, teaching fellowships, proctorships, graders, post-doctoral fellowships, placement procedures, graduate housing, graduate social activities, and discipline.

Apart from the technical problems involved in opening meetings to general student attendance (the problem of providing room for students in the event that they attend in great numbers, and the difficulty of discriminating among students in the event that attendance...
