Upon receiving his degree in law from Yale, Mr. Newton practiced as an attorney and held several positions of responsibility with the Colorado National Bank, the Boettcher Foundation, the University of Denver, and the Ford Foundation. He also served as mayor of Denver. President Newton ' s interest is divided between the University and his family. With his wife and four children, Mr. Newton enjoys many activities. The President ' s goals for the University may be summarized in his own words: It seems to me that our chance — and possibly our only chan ce — for survival depends on cultivation of the widest pos- sible scale of the qualities of the heart and mind which influence men to act with intelligence and reason, with understanding and compassion, and with a high sense of justice. These quahties are the products of a liberal education in a free society. THE NEWTONS LISTEN PROUDLY to the musical skills of their daughters; musical talents run in the family.

BOARD OF REGENTS — CLf t to Riyht ) : Richard Bernick, Elwood Brooks. Albert Smith, Fred Betz, Jr., University President Quigg Nevslon, Charles Bromley, board of regents plans made to cut number of non-resident students The governing body of the University of Colorado consists of six Regents, elected by the citizens of the state. The Board of Regents meets once each month during the year. During 1958-59, the following served as Regents: Richard Bernick, whose term began January 1; Fred Betz, Jr.; Mrs. James E. Blue, whose term expired December 31; Charles Bromley; Elwood Brooks; Thomas Gilliam; and Albert Smith. Increasing emphasis was placed this year by the board on efforts to heighten the quality of intel- lectual accomplishment. This was evidenced by plans for the expansion of the University ' s library facili- ties, by bringing to the campus a number of promi- nent people for lectures, by the expansion of the nuclear physics program, and by a pilot experiment in one of the residence halls to effect closer relation- ship between students and instructors. An analytical study is also being made of the composition of the student body. Under the new admissions plan adopted by the Regents, the number of non-resident students will be limited to approxi- mately one-third of the student body, and these stu- dents must have outstanding academic qualifica- tions. Beginning in the fall of 1960, entering students must take the scholastic aptitude test of the College Entrance Board Examinations. 15
