     The proposed plan does not greatly alter the administrative
organization of the UnLversity that was adopted by the Board in
April, 1941.


     The Department of Business Nanagament and Control under the
Comptroller has not been changed in any particular.  A few addi-
tional responsibilities have been added to the office of the Dean
of the University* The several colleges retain the maximum
amount of autonomy consistent with good university administration*
Each Dean retains as much, if not more, control over his college
than heretofore.

     The points of difference are (a) the Faculty of the University
has been enlarged so as to include professors as well as adminis-
trative officers and (b) a clear-cut line of demarcation between
administrative functions and policy-making funotions has been
drawn*

     I recommend the adoption of the Report of the Committee of
Fifteen and that it become effective as of September 24, 1943,
the opening of the Fall Quarter.

     Dear President Donovan:

     On September 17, 1942, with the approval of the Board of
     Trustees, you named a Committee of 15 to make a study of
     the University's administrative organization and wreport
     its findings to the President and Board of Trustees' for
     their consideration.

     This Committee met with you for the purpose of organization
     and to discuss with you the contemplated study. Since that
     time it has held frequent meetings either of the Committee
     as a whole or Its subcommittees.  It has had the benefit
     of studies made by individiml members of the Committee and
     of the study made by Dr. Jesse E. Adams for you.
