Dedication The trustee of a university holds a position of grave responsibility and glorious opportunity because he sets the policy and makes the de- cisions that shape youth and thus help fashion the future of the nation and the world. It is work often fraught with frustration and disappointment. The decisions that must be made are sometimes agonizing. But it is also a labor of love and dedication and its rewards are in dreams come true and hopes realized. Almost never is the trustee of a university given public recognition for his devotion and for the hours and energy and talent spent fulfilling his responsibility. For that reason, and because each has earned an even greater meas- ure of appreciation than can be expressed here, the 1964-65 Round Up is dedicated to the five members of the Board of Trustees pic- tured on these pages. This group of men are all active in the work of the Ex-Students Associationg they all attended Baylor University at about the same time, and each has been for many years devoted to the maximum development of Baylor in its physical needs and growthg its athletic programs, its academic excellence, its spiritual atmosphere. Each of these trustees: Thomas .l. Harrell, Horace K. Jackson, Arthur Mitchell, Boss M. Sams, A. Grady Yates, has dedicated to Baylor University a generous share of his life in long and able and faithful service to the university. HORACE K. JACKSON of Gatesvillc, A.B. degree, Baylor 1923.
