The full number of 18 was filled at the examination in September, 1907. At the meeting of the University Faculty held December 13, 1907, the following resolution was adopted and submitted to the Board of Trustees for its approval, which was subsequently granted: "No officer of the University shall assist directly or indirectly in the preparation of any competitor for a university undergraduate scholarship, or take any action that might result in the slightest real or apparent advantage to one competitor over another. The heads of departments concerned shall be responsible for the secrecy of the examination questions, and shall take special precautions during the processes of type setting and printing. Each examination shall be in charge of a professor or an assistant professor, and no person below the grade of instructor shall act as proctor or reader, or have access to the papers of the competitors." This resolution was accompanied by a statement that the Faculty saw no reason to reflect on the fairness of any person in the past, but desired to safeguard the future and to remove every possible ground of suspicion as to the scrupulous impartiality of the award of these great prizes for which the competition is so keen. 5. FACULTY LEGISLATION The legislation affecting the standing committees of the University Faculty has already been referred to in the chapter of this report dealing with the Committee on Student Affairs.
