Resigns
Miss Jean Hamilton resigned as Dean of Women in 1927, because of the very serious illness of her mother in New York City. Miss Hamilton has been on a leave of absence from the University since last June.
Miss Hamilton came to the University as Dean of Women in 1922, succeeding Mrs. Myra B. Jordan, who is now Emeritus Dean of Women.
During Miss Hamilton’s absence, the duties of the Dean of Women have been handled by three advisers of women, and this arrangement will be continued for the remainder of the year.

Quite An Innovation
In the absence of Miss Jean Hamilton, former Dean of Women, who has been granted a year’s leave of absence, a very interesting experiment in student management for University women is being worked out. The problems of the women students this year will be handled by a committee of advisors, consisting of Miss Alice Lloyd,’16, Miss Beatrice Johnson, University of Maine, ’24, and Miss Grace Richards, who has been Assistant Dean of Women for the past two years. Norma Bicknell Mansfield, ’26, is an assistant advisor.
This arrangement will remove the responsibility from one person and make the decisions in the agreement of the committee.
For the first time in the history of self-government at Michigan, all problems of rule violation will be brought before a judiciary council composed entirely of undergraduate women. Members of the Advisory Committee will help and suggest but will not be present at the meetings of the Council.
