The Board Of Trustees Decides Policies The Hinds Junior College Board of Trustees is com- posed of nine members who play a forceful role in the growth and development of the college. The Hinds County Board of Supervisors established the Board of Trustees as the governing body of the school in 1917 when the school was organized. The Board of Trustees serves as the official controller and manager of Hinds. College administrators depend upon this group for guidance in forming college policies, making decisions and solving administrative problems. The loyal men devote much of their time and energy to help the college become one of the most prominent junior college educational institutions in the nation. Members of the Board represent Hinds, Warren and Rankin Counties. Nominations for membership on the Board are made by the county Boards of Education, and members are then elected by the county Board of Super- visors. The Hinds County Superintendent of Education is automatically made Secretary of the Board, and Super- intendents of Education of both other counties are auto- matically made Board members. Mr. F. M. Greaves, prominent business man, banker and cattleman of Bolton, is presently serving as President of the Board of Trustees. 22
