BOARD OF REGENTS The most absolute constitutional body in the State of Michigan, The Regents of the University, are a great contributing factor in the Michigan tradition. De- rived from the State constitution and defined by it as independent of the State Legislature, the Regents are responsible to only one force . . . the people of Michigan. This independence has become a source of great pride to the Univer- sity. The Regents have allowed no usurpation of it and have fought heatedly at times in defense of it. The term of office of a Regent is eight years and any qualified elector in Mich- igan may run for the unpaid position. Until last year it had been filled exclusively by University of Michigan alumni. At that time the Governor appointed the Honorable Donald Thurber, a Harvard alumnus, to fill the unexpired term of Paul L. Adams. New members this year are the Honorable Frederick C. Matthaei and the Honorable William K. Mclnally, both alumni of the University. No quickly dispensed job, the Regency demands a driving interest in the continuing quality of the University. The University has always prospered under the guidance of the Regents, by whose foresight the land was purchased on which North Campus now stands. All appointments and any changes in the principles of operation of the University fall under the Regents ' jurisdiction. Emphasis upon the most valuable academic program has been their primary concern. The Regents have been key builders of the University ' s foundation. Their de- cisions have directed Michigan ' s role in the realm of education, revealing constant regard for the continuance of the University ' s high academic reputation. A long record of successful achievements in linking tradition with workability has caused many to look with great respect towards the Regents ... a group sincerely dedicated to a distinguished seat of learning. 17

THE PRESIDENT Educator, administrator, and diplo- mat President Harlan H. Hatcher represents the University of Michigan in these capacities wherever he travels. As head of an educational institution long dedicated to a far-reaching inter- national interest, he has made consid- erable contributions toward the pro- motion of greater communication among nations and their peoples. A trip to the Soviet Union last Spring to observe trends in Soviet education spotlighted his interest in the welfare of the academic community here and abroad. The respect and acclaim which Dr. Hatcher has been given in other lands is equalled here at Michi- gan in recognition of his fulfillment of a great challenge. 18
