HILL, Chairman, Fort Worth L. H. CULLUM, Vice-Chairman, Wichita Falls HINES H. BAKER, Houston JAMES A. ELKINS, Houston JAMES P. HART, Austin J. R. PARTEN, Houston ROBERT W. STAYTON, Austin ROGER J. WILLIAMS, Austin JAMES RALPH WOOD, Dallas ANGUS G. WYNNE, Dallas The University of Texas Development Board, the fund raising agency for the University, includes in its membership representatives of the Board of Regents the Ex-Students ' Association, the Administration, and the faculty. Its primary purpose is to assist in financing approved Uni- versity projects which may not reasonably be expected to be financed either from the appropriation of public funds or from the income of the University ' s endowment. The Board consists of ten members, three of whom are named by the Board of Regents, four by the Executive Council of the Ex-Students ' Association, and two by and from the general faculty. The Chancellor serves as an ex-officio member. As members of the Board these men receive no financial remuneration but donate their time and effort for the welfare of the State through the University. The Board is directly responsible to the Board of Regents, and any project which it undertakes must first receive the approval of the Administration. It attempts to assist in carrying forward the University ' s program as outlined and approved by the Administration and the Regents. In seeking funds for approved projects it works with foundations, both local and national; with individuals, both in Texas and outside the bounds of the State; and with corporations and other business enter- prises whose interest and support can be enlisted. Within the University it works closely not only with the administrative officers but also with members of the faculty in developing and financing a great variety of enterprises which are needed for the upbuilding both of the Main University and its various branches. These enterprises run the gamut from buildings, scholarships, and fellowships to research projects, library acquisitions, additions to the museums, salary supplementation, and many other phases of the University ' s life and work.
