An Annual Meeting of the General Committee is held during the summer
term for the election of the officers of the Federation and other
business. This General Committee is composed of the members of the
Executive Committee and delegates from each Local Association.
Special meetings may also be called at the request of the delegates of
any three branches.
_Executive Committee._
The Executive Committee consists of the President, Hon. Secretaries,
Hon. Treasurer, the Chairman of the Committee on International
Relations, the Secretaries of the British Federation and of the
Committee on International Relations, eight members elected by the
General Committee at the Annual Meeting, and representatives of each
Local Association. The Executive may co-opt four additional members.
The President may not hold office for more than five years, and the
eight elected members of the Executive retire annually. No member of
the Executive Committee, other than the officers, may hold office for
more than four consecutive years.
_Finance._
Members are admitted to Local Associations on payment of a small
entrance fee (6d.) and either an annual subscription, varying slightly
within the different Associations, or a uniform life membership
subscription of £3 10s. Annual subscriptions are paid to the local
secretaries or treasurers. Life subscriptions are paid to the central
Treasurer. Each Local Association contributes out of its annual
subscriptions a minimum capitation fee of 4s. per member to the general
funds of the Federation. The financial year runs from June 1st to May
31st.
The Central Office of the Federation is at 73, Avenue Chambers, Vernon
Place, Southampton Row, London, W.C.1.

INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN.
The first Conference of the Federation was held at Bedford College
for Women, London, in July, 1920. Fifteen countries were represented.
Articles of a constitution and bye-laws were adopted which are
calculated to provide effective machinery for ensuring co-operation
between the national associations of University women in the various
parts of the world. An account of the Conference, including full
reports of speeches by Professor Caroline Spurgeon, Dean Virginia C.
Gildersleeve, President M. Carey Thomas and other speakers, together
with reports on the higher education of women in the countries
represented and the text of the constitution and bye-laws, will be
found in the Report, Bulletin No. 1. Copies may be obtained from the
Secretary (price 1s., postage 3d.). In the United States copies may
be obtained from Miss Virginia Newcomb, Institute of International
Education, 419, West 117th Street, New York.
