Chancellor Walker Dr. Edwin R. Walker has been a guiding force be- hind both the physical and academic growth of Queens. His achievement as President, and now Chancellor, has been to expand the horizons of opportunity for each stu- dent who attends Queens. At the same time he gives his authority a personal air through discussions with the President’s Board, composed of presidents of classes and organizations. With a concern for each student and with a desire for excellence in academics, Dr. Walker has guided Queens to a position of strength among colleges. Page Ticenty-one

Board of Trustees Composed of twenty-four full members, nine advisory members, and four honorary members, the Board of Trustees helps the President carry out college policy and curriculum. Meeting with Dr. Walker semi-annually, the Board discusses the position of Queens as a liberal arts college. Members place primary importance on the quality of a faculty that stresses teaching as guidance to the under- graduate student and independent study as the out- growth of such guidance. The Board is responsible for appointing a President, Chancellor, faculty, and administration. It also supervises the use of funds for expanding the physical facilities of the college. Mr. H. H.
