SENATE ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT TO SENATE

In the November meeting the Senate delegated to the Advisory Committee
the task of defining and delimiting the function of the Senate Committee on
Athletics and the Athletic Board. The Advisory Committee has studied the prob-
lem for a period of some three months and has held numerous meetings and con-
ferences in the course of its study.

As a result of these deliberations and conferences certain facts emerged
which seem to the committee to be of paramount importance in the consideration
of the problem and basic to any action which the University Senate may take.

Some of these major facts the committee had in mind are:

1. The charter of the Physical Education Corporation itself bears upon
the problem. We quote from the charter

"That this corporation is organized not for profit and that the
purposes for which it is formed are:

"To promote and encourage the physical education and development
of the students in the University of Kansas in harmony with and in
subjection to the general educational policy of said University}; to
schedule and manage athletic contests of such sorts as are in harmony
with the policy aforesaid and collect and own the receipts from all
such contests and expend and disburse the same in the interest of the
physical education of the student body of the University of Kansas;
to borrow money for the above purposes and own or lease such property,
real or personal, as it is necessary or proper to hold therefor."

From the minutes of the Board, May 29, 1928
"That there be a Board of Directors of the Physical Education
Corporation constituted as follows: seven members of the faculty,
three alumni members, and two students. This proportion is necessary
in order to satisfy the regulation of the conference to which we be-
long that athletics shall be under full faculty control."
2. That by the nature of the charter of the Physical Education Corporation

and the administrative organization set up under this charter the Senate has

no direct part to play in activities of the Physical Education Corporation or
