EDWARDS President of the Board BOARD OF TRUSTEES Stanford ' s Board of Trustees is liHle known fo sfudenfs but vitally concerned with the welfare of the University. This year, as always, its active mennbers have devoted much time and effort to their job of overseeing and review- ing University affairs. They have managed Stanford ' s endowment with com- petence and care, and this problem is not simple at a time when costs and demands on the University ' s funds are continually rising, and available funds must be carefully allotted. This year saw important additions and improve- ments on campus put into use with the completion of the $3,000,000 post- war building program. Undergraduate men were housed in Stern Hall, Law School classes moved into the renovated and modernized rooms of the onetime Administration Building, and the Organic Chemistry Laboratory was finished. As these projects were completed, the Board approved the making of plans for still another improvement of which the campus has long been in need. This was a new building for the Eating Clubs, to replace the old club shacks that were torn down during the war. Most of the essential business that goes on in the Board ' s monthly meetings, however, is not as tangible or spectacular as these projects. It consists of receiving, reviewing, and approving President Sterling ' s recommendations on faculty appoint- ments, the University budget, and other actions. The continued progress of Stanford is a testimony to the vigilant work of its Trustees. 10 ■ I I ”
