Siting is notable, and the faculty-centered. Ours has been from the beginning," he contin ued. "Let the faculty confine it self to broad principles and turn the deans loose on details." One of the tasks' of the Uni versity is to "preserve the Grad uate school," the chancellor said. "It is the apple of the faculty eye and the seed bed of additional teachers we need" and "it is an inspiration to the fresSimen to be in a place where wonderful things are going on," he continued. House also said the field of free elective courses and the right of the "professor to operate with freedom" should be preserved by the University. Larger classes at good hours should also be pro vided to the freshmen and sopho more so they can talce advantage of the "great lecturers" here at the University. Chancellor House evaluates the present faculty as "one of the truly distinguished faculties in the university world." "It is the most distinguished faculty we are likely to have in the next few years because of the absolute na tional shortage of trained faculty personnel and the relatively de clining resources in money," House said. v !
