Saturday Morning Session

The only subject scheduled on the program for Saturday morning was the talk by Dean Laycock on the state of the College. He was able to talk in an intimate and confidential manner which was made all the more effective by its vivid and interesting presentation. Such subjects as the educational program, the attitude of the undergraduate body, the present chapel situation, the progress of the building program, and the results of the Selective Process up to the present time were touched upon. The success of the Selective Process was shown by figures indicating the constantly decreasing number of men in each successive class subject to discipline for academic reasons and the growing proportion of each class that has graduated since the first selective class was admitted in 1922. Dean Laycock paid a warm tribute to President Hopkins and the satisfaction and pleasure all connected with the college staff found in working with him. He also spoke with deep-feeling of his personal relations with Mr. Randolph McNutt whose love for the College was so constant that he left the bulk of his estate for its uses at his recent death. As usual, this intimate discussion of the presentday College marked one of the high spots of the Council meeting.

Before adjournment it was moved and Voted: That the Council express its deep'appreciation of the hospitality extended to it by the Massachusetts members of the Council.

The meeting concluded with a luncheon at which the wives of the Council members were also present as guests of the Massachusetts members and on the conclusion of luncheon all proceeded immediately to the Stadium.
