new president of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Howard C. Sheperd was elected chair- man of the Board of Trustees at the 1950 Old Gold Day meeting on the retirement of Hon. Roy 0. West, its former chairman. Mr. Sheperd attended DePauw, earning two D letter awards and being a member of Kappa Tau Kappa. He now serves as president of the National City Bank of New York. Hon. Roy 0. wrest. the recently retired chairman, presided as chairman of the Board of Trustees during the years from 1924 to 1950. Among those 26 years he derived the singular honor of working for fifteen years with one university president, Dr. Wiildman. That longest period in which DePaquS leadership remained unchanged should he tribute to those individuals. The Depauw Board of Trustees1 which meets Mr. Howard C. Sheperd, quarterly, is the guardian of the universityfs welfare and security. Its primary concern is the management of university business. finances, and property. In addition, it makes final decisions on all major university problems and policy, confers honorary degrees. and takes responsibility for the selection of faculty and administration members. The board is composed of 48 members who are elected for a three year term. These mem- bers have success and leadership in common: however, in occupational fields they range from ministers to businessmen and lawyers. Appoint- ments to the board are made by three groups: the DePauw alumni choose four; the board itself appoints 13; and the two Indiana con- ferences 0f the Methodist church elect 31. Top Row: Rev. S.
