Tolman Edward C. Barrett, Secretary In the Executive Council 1-est the administrative policies of the Institute as related to internal alfairs, such as the determination of educational policies. The Council is composed partly of members of the faculty, and partly of members of the Board of Trustees. In the Board of Trustees rests the manage- ment of the lnstitute's external affairs, particularly in the matter of finances. The Board is matte up of promi- nent business men of Southern Calif ornia. Both grottps operating very effectively combine to form a manage- ment working toward the continued progress of the Institute. The Board of Trustees deserves a great deal of credit for the growth of the Institute over the last twenty-live years. Its members have, for the most part, been on the Board a number of years and have all devoted their services to building up the Institute. The Institute as it stands today is the result of their fine work. Their poli- cies in raising money for the purposes of expansion have been very successful, and the funds have been well utilized. Through the guidance of the Executive Council the California Institute of Technology has been made a first-rank science and engineering school. Its educational policies are second to none and have brought Caltech much of its fame. This is particularly true of their wise provision in requiring study in the humanities of all students. Dr. Millikan as its Chairntan is the head of the Institute. Another group that deserves our mention and thanks is the California Institute Associates, 'aa group of public- spirited citizens interested in the advancement of learn- ing . . . an organization for the purpose of promoting the interests of the California Institute of Technology. They have earned our sincere thanks.

In the l1dlllilliStl'3ti0ll of the Institute there are vitally concerned, besides Executive Council Chairman Dr. Millikan, the following men: The President of the Board of Trustees of the Insti- tute is Mr. Allan C. Balch, who, with Mrs. Balch, gave the Athenaeum to the Institute and has otherwise shown his interest and willingness to serve. Dr. Richard Chace Tolman is the Dean of the gradu- ate school and plays an important part in the work on the campus. I-Ie is also a member of the Executive Council and an outstanding man in the field of Physical Chemistry and Mathematical Physics. Col. Frederic W. Hinrichs, Jr., is Dean of Upper Classmen and Professor of Mechanics. He is a graduate of West Point and known for his stern military ways. Though greeted by a loud f'Come inln the student who calls on him at his office knows that he will receive a generous amount of help and sympathetic advice. The Freshman's friend is Dr. John R. Macarthur, the Dean of Freshmen and Professor of Languages. He knows the name of every Freshman at the end of the first two weeks of school. In giving the Freshmen history lectures, he keeps tired students awake by calling out their names frequently. The finances of the Institute are managed by Mr. Ed- ward C. Barrett, Comptroller. Due to his wise manage- ment and decisions, the Institute has managed to stay out of the red during the last few trying years. He has been here since 1911. The difficult task of managing the Registrar's office belongs to Mr. Philip S. Fogg, Registrar and Assistant Professor of Economics. Mr. Fogg, graduate of the Harvard Business School, in the last two years has greatly increased the efficiency of the Registraris office. Richard C. Tolman Allan C. Balch John R. Macarthur Frederic W.
