G. C. Carpenter D. C. Shull I G. F. Reinking G. W. Lee THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES '1'4 N THIS and the opposite page may be seen the faces of the men who are bear- ing the responsibilities of Des Moines College. These men have not accepted a place on the board because of any honor attached to it, but because it gives them an opportunity for service. There is not a single man of them who does not support the College with his time, his energy, his money. Four meetings of the board are held each year, and a good majority of the mem- bers are usually present. R. Vaughan, Waterloo, the president of the board, brings to the administration all the business acumen that has made him the foremost implement dealer in Iowa. Nelson Royal, first vice-president, is a lawyer and banker of Des Moines. H. I. Foskett is another one of the tried and true. He is second vice-president and treasurer of the trust funds of the College. His everyday business is banking. How- land Hanson, the successful pastor of the First Baptist Church, Des Moines, is the secre- tary of the board, and J. H. Cochrane, always genial and kind, performs each year the mighty task of paying the bills. Other Des Moines trustees are Geo. C. Carpenter, presi- dent of a la 'ge paper company bearing his name. Frank Miner we name next because he and Carpenter are inseparable. Miner is the president of the Bankers' Accident In- surance Co., of Des Moines. C. E.. Hunn, of Des Moines, ought to come next because he andthe three just mentioned constitute the finance committee of the College. As a lawyer C. E.. Hunn ranks among the first in Iowa. He is also an alumnus of Des Moines College. Then there are Chas. N. Page, president of the Iowa Seed Co.: L. D. Leland, in the wholesale flour business: Geo. F. Reinking and E.. S. Hunn, in the land business: J. W. Graves and E.. M. Griffin, ministers of the gospel. All these are of Des Moines. Then I should have mentioned Col. A. Abernethy, who is also of Des Moines. He is the one trustee who has served on the board a quarter of a century, and today has a large vision for the future of the College. John G.
