Board of Directors J|liHE board of Directors of Butler University, ably headed by Mr. Hilton U. Brown, is a body of eighteen loyal backers who serve as the highest governing body of the university. In addition to its administrative func- tions, the Board is constantly engaged in obtaining endowments for the main- tenance and improvement of the school. On May 11, 1931, members of the Board were confronted with the resig- nation of Dr. Robert Judson Aley who had served as president of Butler for a period of ten years. In recognition of his service they voted to make Dr. Aley president emeritus, the first president emeritus in the history of the institution. After careful consideration. Dr. Walter Scott Athearn, formerly dean of the col- lege of religious education at Boston University, was selected to fill the vacancy left by Dr. Aley. Arriving in Indianapolis in August, Dr. Athearn immediately assumed the obligations of the presidency. He was formally installed as the eleventh president of Butler on February 6. The second outstanding accomplishment of the Board this year, was in the field of athletics. On the resignation of Harry M. Bell, Paul Tony Hinkle was named director of athletics, and Frederick J. Mackey, line coach at Ohio Wesleyan University, received the appointment of head football coach. Members of the Butler University Board of Directors were Hilton U. Brown, president; John W. Atherton, executive and financial secretary of the Butler Foundation; William G. Irwin, vice-president of the Board, president of the Butler Foundation, and chairman of the General Endowment committee; Emsley W.
