...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 and five graduate students (of whom at least two shall...
...Relations ought to be larger than the other two joint committees, in order to insure broad representation of student views, but that it ought also to be considerably smaller than SFAC, whose membership of more than 40 appears too unwieldy to permit effective committee discussion and action.

After careful and extensive study of the operation of the Administrative Board of Harvard College, our disposition is not to recommend student membership. A number of our student consultants, after examining the types of cases coming before the Administrative Board, frequently involving intimate personal problems, expressed some disinclination to participate in inquiries into and judgments on them. We also face issues of overlapping jurisdiction. As the working paper of the Committee of Fifteen referred to in our postscript on disciplinary procedures makes clear, reforms in the procedures and composition of the Administrative Board and the Radcliffe Judicial Council are currently...
