the executive committee of the board of trustees The Board of Trustees — policy-makers for the University — is a thirty-six member body elected by conferences of the North Carolina Methodist Church and by the Alumni Asso- ciation. Each trustee holds his position for six years. In addition to foreseeing and fulfilling the general needs of the University, the duties of the Board include control of the Duke endowment fund; legislation of rules, regulations, and by-laws; confirmation of faculty appointments; election of the President of the University; issuance of diplomas; and conferring of marks of honor. The Board of Trustees, as a whole, meets only twice a year, in February and June. In the interim between these meetings, the powers of the Board are exercised by an Executive Com- mittee; this group consists of seven members, two of whom — the President cf the University and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees — are ex-officio. The committee is elected by the Board and meets generally once a month. Norman Cocke completed his fifth year of service as Chairman of the Board this February.

HERBERT JAMES HERRING, M.A., LL.D. :e President in the Division of Student Life MARCUS E. HOBBS, Ph.D. Dean of the University The year?— 1958-59. The setting?— Allen Building, West Campus. The people?— Administrators. To the students of Duke University, 1958-59 meant one year more subtracted from the date of graduation. To the men in Allen Building, it meant something quite dif- ferent — another rung in the ladder, another step along the way in raising Duke to the foremost ranks of American universities. Any move upward is a difficult one. Disagreement is inevitable, but farsighted planning and strong leadership must be exerted by someone. And, as the continuing core of the University, the Administration must necessarily be that someone. As one Duke professor remarked this year, Long-range planning is a license to dream, and 1958-59 was milestoned by much of this sort of administrative dreaming, underlain by concrete plans. The stiffening of admission requirements, the addition of new schools within the University, and even the suggestion of a Duke University abroad were among those dreams for the future envisioned by the Administration in planning sessions during the course of the year. Who are these Administrators? Portraits mean little; long lists of accomplishments are soon forgotten; but personalities leave a lasting imprint. So in these pages of the CHANTICLEER we present the Administrators through a glance at that part of the University upon which they have placed the marks of their personalities.
