City School Chief Joins 'U' Senate

 

Robert Warren, superintendent of Calgary public schools, was welcomed into the Senate of the University of Alberta, which met in Edmonton today, by chairman of the Senate and Chancellor Dr. E. P. Scarlett, Calgary.

Mr. Warren is one of five new Senate members, representing business, industry, education and social and cultural activities throughout the province.

OTHER NEW MEMBERS to the 25-man Senate are Harold Long, Lethbridge; G. R. A. Rice, Edmonton; Mary Crawford, Edmonton, and Dr. W. P. Parsons, Red Deer.

They were elected by the 16 statutory members of the Senate to fill vacancies created by the retirement of F. P. Galbraith, Red Deer; Fred Stapells, Calgary; W. A. Church, Medicine Hat; Mrs. Wilma Hansen, Calgary, and A. A. O'Brien, Edmonton.

The most important duty of the university senate is to make recommendations to the board of governors concerning the establishment of faculties, departments, chairs and courses of instruction. In addition it recommends the award of honorary degrees and the establishment of exhibitions, scholarships and prizes.
