...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. We also suggest that this committee be charged with the improvement of departmental student-faculty communication at the graduate level. As we indicated earlier, we recommend that the Dean of the Graduate School serve as vice-chairman of the Committee and preside in the absence of the Dean of the Faculty. We also recommend that the Committee consist of five members of the Faculty Council...
...third joint committee, the Committee on Students and Community Relations, is intended to serve as a successor organization to SFAC, to bring its activities into closer linkage with the decision-making bodies of the Faculty, and to define its competence as extending to subjects of student concern involving the relations of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to the community and government. These subjects might include, but not be limited to, admissions and scholarship policy, government relations, the draft, student housing, health and welfare problems, and the University's relations to the community. It should be pointed out, however, that...

We therefore recommend a committee of twenty-one, to be composed, of the Dean of the Faculty, serving as chairman ex officio, eleven student members, and nine members of the Faculty. We suggest that the eleven student members...

Our student consultants and indeed all representatives of student organizations with whom we discussed the matter recommended student membership on this committee with particular urgency. In a poll conducted by the Harvard Political Union, in which nearly a thousand students participated, 788 students favored student voting representatives on the Committee on Houses, while only 159 were opposed. Our consultations with the House Masters on this issue evoked mixed reactions. Initially eight of the nine Masters and the Dean of Freshmen joined in a recommendation...
Indeed, we go father and recommend that the scope of the Committee on Houses be expanded to deal with issues of undergraduate concern which do not fall under the purview of the proposed Committees on Undergraduate Education and Students and Community Relations. (We recognize that some overlapping of jurisdiction among the committees may be unavoidable.) We suggest that its name be changed to the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life, and that it supplement its present activities by addressing itself to such questions as a review of the Regulations for Students in Harvard College and the procedures and machinery...
