The Overseers' Committee on Governance has divided into three subcommittees to continue its comprehensive study of the University.
The most important subcommittee will investigate the problems caused by Harvard's large administrative bureaucracy. It will reexamine the role of the President, the Corporation, the Board of Overseers, the Council of Deans, and other administrative bodies. In addition, this group will study University finances, considering shifts in federal grants and investment policy.
Another subcommittee will consider problems of inter-school relations, including proposals for a University-wide Senate made up of tenured and non-tenured faculty, students, administrators, and alumni, and disciplinary procedures for faculty and students.
A third subcommittee will discuss broader issues concerning the purpose of a University, its responsibilities, and the challenges it faces.
C. Douglas Dillon 31, Harvard Overseer and prominent member of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Administrations, has been elected president of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Dillon chairman of the board of United States, and Foreign Securities Corporation, is expected to play a major role in helping to buttress the museum's financial standing.
The richest museum in the nation, the Metropolitan still must face a deficit this year. A major drive for capital funds is expected to follow its current centennial celebrations.
