HBHHHHH mm Chairman — Dr. Joseph W. Kettering Vice Chairman — Rev. Noah S. Sellers Secretary — Dr. Horace B. Raffensberger Assistant Sect. — Rev.. Norman L. Bowers Establishing much of the school ' s expansion policy, both physically and academically, is the main duty of the Elizabethtown College Board of Trustees. Directly or indirectly these men and women make the vital decisions which mold the college into a successful academic com- munity. Religious ideals play a major role in determining and execut- ing these policies and decisions. The board holds bi-annual meetings over which presides its chair- man, Dr. Joseph W. Kettering. Dr. Kettering is also responsible for calling unscheduled meetings throughout the academic year. New to the organization of the board this year is a Board of Associates, which advises the trustees in matters of campus policy. Members of the board are nominated through one of three sourc- es: the Eastern and Southern Pennsylvania Districts of the Church of the Brethren; the Alumni Association; and the board itself. All nominees are then voted upon by the various church districts in the state, thus placing official ownership of the college in the hands of the Church of the Brethren. However, most influential matters, in- cluding the selection of the college president, are dealt with by board members themselves. High on the board ' s agenda this year is the matter of college ex- pansion. This is most evident in the construction of new men ' s and women ' s residence halls. Under the Pathway to Fulfillment cam- paign being conducted, plans have been made for new classroom and physical education buildings, as well as an addition to the library, which is to be completed in 1965. The board ' s expansion policy extends to the school ' s curriculum. This includes the introduction of new cours- es and the hiring of new professors. A growing student body, an en- larged campus, and an expanding curriculum exhibit the work of the Board of Trustees. BOARD OF TRUSTEES (STANDING) S. Clyde Weaver, Elmer L. Esbenshade, Paul M.

Dr. Roy E. McAuley President of the College As president of Elizabethtown College, Dr. Roy E. McAuley is the executive officer of the institution. Chosen by the Board of Trustees for this position, he is expected to choose administrators and delegate re- sponsibilities to them. The duties of his office also in- volve fund raising and public relations, and he is the general college representative to national organizations. It is the opinion of our president that Elizabeth- town should maintain its enrollment at approximately 1200 students for a few years until the facilities have been expanded to meet the need of those now in attend- ance. Then he anticipates an updating of the curricu- lum and a strengthening of academic presentations. Dr. McAuley hopes that these advances will help those associated with Elizabethtown College to become bet- ter students and teachers within the college framework that allows this. Dr. McAuley ' s extensive educational training has prepared him well for his position. He holds a B.S. in biology from McPherson, a bachelor of divinity from Bethany Theological Seminary, and a M.A. in English from the University of Omaha, as well as a Ph.D. in college education from the University of Denver. Discussing his aims for Elizabethtown College. Dr. McAuley said that he hopes the college continues to de- velop as an academically strong, small college with a definite commitment to the Christian interpretation of the meaning of knowledge; and that it is my strong feeling that Elizabethtown should remain loyal to the current kind of student body.
