Burt Wolbach, Mrs. Henry Parkman, Miss Sarah M. Dean, John F. Moors of the Harvard fallows, and Professor' George H. Chase of Harvard and Radcllffe.

After tbe resignation of President Briggs last fall, this committee reported In favor of a fuil-tlme president for Radcllffe because the college had so grown as to require ths entire time of both a dean and a president. The committee further felt the relations between Harvard University and Radcllffe College were so firmly established as to no longer require as president a member of the Harvard faculty serving as a link between the two Institutions.
