Under the present charter the Board is comprised of eighteen alumni: the President and Treasurer of the College, ten permanent members, and six temporary members elected from the Alumni Corporation. The Chairman of the Board is elected every six years, and the post is presently filled by John J. lVIcCloy. The entire Board of Trustees assembles four times a year: three times at Amherst and once at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. Delegation of responsibility is the byword at its meetings, since most of the business which is to come before the Board is first investigated by various sub-committees. The problems which have demanded their attention this year have ranged from the proper investment of endowment to the approval of a new football coach. Such a variety of problems calls for the variety of experiences which supplements the quiet competence of this distinguished body. 4, r 9:9965 ff? '50 JUDGE AND MRS. ARTHUR F. ELLS watch the football team in action on Pratt Field. This year Judge Ells resigned as a trustee of Amherst College and was immediately elected Trustee Emeritus by the Board.

But, the future will blur the sharp outlines of those mental images and in the years ahead, this copy of the 01,10 will survive as a sovereign way of summing up, through its text and particularly through its pictures, a remembrance of things past.
