FURMULATING, INITIATING AND IJIRECTING The Board of Trustees is an ever influencing factor in the decisions of Drexel. While the average student has little or no contact with this governing body and is un- aware of the functions performed by it, his life at Drexel is constantly affected by its decisions. The Board of Trustees determines school policy in financial matters, tuition, acquirement of new facilities, and scholarships. Appointments of faculty are made by the Trustees and degrees are conferred by their authority. BOARD OF TRUSTEES-Seated: M. I. Blum, F. S. Friel, R. P. Brown, J. Creese, A. J. Nesbitt, C. J.
