Com- posed of members from many different states, this board contributes much to the college in the area of finance and also in the areas of example and inspiration. These consecrated men and women work hard in order to promote the growth of Bryan in all as- pects of a Christian liberal arts college. Pictured above are twenty members who met in the fall to plan for the 1961-62 school year. One of the committees of the trustees met and discussed matters concerning the approaching year.

in Last fall, two months apart, Bryan lost two trustees by death- -William L . Hardin, Octobers, and Horace K. Houston, November 24. WILUAM L. HARDIN HORACE K. HOUSTON Mr. Hardin, who lived in Atlanta, was most active in trustee affairs from the time of his election to the Board in 1935. He seized as Chairman of the trustee committee on nominations for many years . He rarely missed a Board meeting, and he nearly always remained over from the June meeting to attend graduation . In this way a large number of Bryan fr iends came to know Mr. Hardin. His absence last June signaled a period of declining health. His death early on the morning of October 3, 1961, occurred only a few hours after the close of the fall meeting of the Board. Mr . Houston of Memphis served as a trustee of the College from 1949. His interest in Bryan stemmed from his mother, the late Cora M. Houston, a well -known Bible teacher and a Bryan trustee from 1931 to 1949. Mr. Houston was a generous supporter of the College and established the Horace Houston Loan Fund in 1960. He and other members of his family augmented the George Theo- dore Houston Memorial Loan Fund es- tablished earlier by his mother in memory of his father.
