In November, 1921 the faculty voted to authorize the bulletin committee to compile each term data concerning what each member may have done in the way of publications, addresses, papers and reports and also the positions in professional organizations to which each may have been appointed. The committee was further authorized to publish these data in the Index as they were compiled each term and at the end of the school year to recompile the quarterly reports and publish them as one of the monthly bulletins of the college. The report that follows is for the year ending September 1, 1922, as far as the facts could be gathered. BULLETIN COMMITTEE. (Page 3) PUBLICATIONS (Articles, reviews, books) BRAY, W. J.
