BOARD OF TRUSTEES Members of the Board of Trustees include: (SEATED) Earl Kurtz (Treasurer), D. C. Stambaugh, the Rev. N. S. Sellers (Vice Chairman), Dr. Roy McAuley, Dr. Joseph W. Kettering (Chairman), Dr. H. E. Raffensberger (Secretary), S. S. Wenger, John M. Miller; (STANDING) Jacob L. Miller, John G. Hershey, the Rev. Norman K. Musser, Dr. Frank S. Carper, John F. Sprenkel, Carl G. Herr, Dr. Wayne Keller, Miss Martha Bucher, Mrs. C. M. Papson, Mrs. Margaret Cassel, Cyrus G. Bucher, the Rev. C. H. Royer, Paul M. Grubb, J. Aldus Rinehart, the Rev. H. A. Markey, the Rev. N. L. Bowers, Eli H. Staltzfus, and the Rev. Clyde Weaver. PRESIDING AT MEETINGS of the policy-setting and governing body of the colle ge and meeting with various standing committees of the body, such as finance, buildings and ground, etc., is the main functional responsibility of the chairman of the board. In addition such tasks as signing legal docu- ments and diplomas are his. Since the board of trustees is looked upon as an important source of public relations for the college, in his position as chairman Dr. Kettering must be sensitive to the pub- lic, the constituencies of the Church of the Brethren who elect the board members, and the alumni. He has been on the trustee board since 1936 and chair- man of the board since 1954. The board is comprised of twenty-two members. Twelve of these are nominated for office by the Eastern and Southern districts of the Church of the Brethren. Seven are nominated by the board mem- bers themselves and the remaining three by the Alumni Association. The Church districts vote on all nominees, thus legally owning and operating the col- lege but not directly dictating the rule. The board elects the president of the college to promulgate the policies and execute the actual operation of the col- lege. Since the board members are representative of various occupations, they have among themselves a cross section of ideas and knowledge of how a col- lege should be operated. The board will continue to think in terms of a small college, the numerical figure varying with the conception of a small college, but foreseeably with the figure around 1.200 students. They want to maintain an academically good school although en- rolling average students as well as exceptional ones. The challenge will be to have each student work up to his best possible level. Religiously, they hope each student is better grounded, and on graduating will give of his service to the community, church, and civic organizations.
