A Subcommittee on the Improvement of the Advisory System made a re-

visers also has the full cooperation of the new Bureau of Vocational Gui-
dance, which promises to be of great assistance both to students and to
their advisers.

long discussion, the Committee presents for the consideration of the

Faculty.
