BOARD DF CUHATDHS Wilson, Lathrop, Lenox Wolpers, Blanton, Walsh, Ward FRANK M. McDAVID President J. H. LATHROP Vice-President LESLIE COWAN Secretary R. B. PRICE . . , Treasurer THE State Constitution of Missouri pro- vides for a board of curators composed of nine members to be appointed by the Governor. Each member serves for a term of six years. The curators serve without pay, receiving only expenses. In order that the board might never be made up entirely of new members, the Constitution requires that three members be changed -every two years. Not more than five of the curators can be from one political party, and no two are to be from the same congressional district. The law requires that the board hold at least two meetings each year. These are set for December and June unless different days are fixed by the board. There are two com- mittees of the board. The executive board is in charge of the University which is located at Columbia. The executive committee has charge of the Missouri School of Mines at Rolla. Each of these committees has three members elected from the board each year at the June meeting. The new members had not been selected at the time this book went to press. [ 19 ]

DUR PRESIDENT FREDERICK A. M I D D L E H U S H UNDER the progressive leadership which the University of Missouri has enjoyed the past two years, there has been evident a sure growth in its well-being and prestige; and, in large measure, credit for this expansion is due President Frederick Middlebush. Dr. Middlebush, before assuming his present position, studied at the University of Michigan and carried on research in London, Paris, and the Hague; enjoyed a professorship at Knox College, and, after holding the position of Professor of Political Science in the University of Missouri, became Dean of the B. and P. A. school — thus we have in our president ' s chair a man capable and experienced. [ 18 ]

DEAN DF MEN THE Dean of Men is concerned with the young men at Missouri apart from their classroom routine. His chief interest is in assisting them to make effective adjust- ments in their university life. The office of the Dean of Men provides opportunities for personal conference and consulta- tion in an endeavor to help the student to an intelligent fur- thering of his own interests and the interests of the University and community. A young man in college has problems which are very real and important to him however trivial they may seem to others. In many cases they are problems which perplexed his father as a student. In working toward the solution of some of these problems, the Dean of Men is happy to give his assistance. His office has general supervision of extra-curricular activ- ities. In his office are centered, among other things, matters of student conduct. In these his chief concern is with men rather than rules, emphasizing prevention and cure above discipline. His advice is available to every young man in the institution and to every student organization. DEAN ALBERT K. HECKEL [ 20 }
