BEHIND THE SCENES Little understood and less recognized, the Board of Trustees of Elmhurst College does its work quietly and efficiently, meeting on the campus four times a year. It meets in the Student Christian Associ- ation room in Old Hall, discussing faculty, curriculum, finances, buildings, grounds, and future plans during its day long sessions. Most of its detailed business is transacted through the executive committee, composed of Rev. Ernst, Mr. Woldhausen, Mr. Rasche, Rev. Frankenfeld, and Mrs. Pister. The officers of the board are: Rev. John L. Ernst, chairman; Rev. J. P. Meyer, vice- chairman; Rev. Erwin R. Koch, secretary; and Mr. W. L. Woldhausen, comptroller- treasurer. The other standing committees of the board and their personnel are: the faculty and curriculum committee: Rev. Frankenfeld, Rev. Meyer, Mr. Jans, and Rev. Koch; the finance committee: Rev. Kircher, Mr. Schu- macher, Mr. Woldhausen, and Rev. Rolf; the building and grounds committee: Mr. Rasche, Mrs. Pister, Rev. F. H. Klemme. The devotedness of the board to its charge is seen by the fact that three of its members have been serving for fifteen years, seven for at least ten years, and the latest members have been serving for three years. The two additional men represented in the above picture are: Dr. Goebel, the presi- dent of the Evangelical and Reformed Church, and Dr. Klick, president of the Evan- gelical Synod of North America. Working side by side with the board and the college administration is the Elm- hurst-Eden Advance, the endowment office of the college. Transferred just this year from its space in the basement of the library, the E.E.A. now occupies its own office in the north end of the first floor of Old Hall. Here Mr. Earl Kircher, field director. Miss Marguerite Belz, custodian, and Mrs. Alma Schaeffer, office manager, handle corre- spondence, collect, file, and redeem pledges and the myriad other details necessary to handling the endowment campaigns for a four year liberal arts college and a three year theological seminary.
