FACULTY THE Iowa State Board of Education consists of nine members se- lected from the state at large solely with regard to their qualifica- tions and fitness to discharge the duties of the office. Prior to 1909 there was more or less friction between the three state institutions of higher learning regarding appropriations from the legislature. In order to promote economy and eliminate duplication in the schools, the State Board of Educatioxi was established in 1909 by the thirty-third general assembly of Iowa. It is the duty of the board to govern the State Uni- versity of Iowa, Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and Iowa State Teachers ' College. The state institutions for the blind and deaf are also administered by this board. The term of each member lasts six years, arranged so that three of them expire the first of July each odd numbered year. During each regular session of the legislature, the governor appoints, with the ap- proval of two-thirds of the senate in executive session, three members to succeed those retiring from office the following July. The board usually meets once a month. One of its important duties is to elect the president, superintendent, treasurer and secretarial offi- cers for each institution. It also officially appoints, with the recom- mendation of the president, the professors, instructors, officers and employees, and fixes their compensations. Besides this the board makes rules for admission to and for govern- ment of the institutions, manages and controls their property, accepts and administers trusts, directs expenditures of all appropriations, and performs all other acts necessary and proper for the execution of the powers and duties conferred by law. The State Board of Education appoints a finance committee of three from outside its membership. This committee makes investigations and reports and performs such administerial duties as the board, by resolu- tions, may direct. It audits all expenditures every month, approves all bills, and attends to all minor appointments and administrative duties. The State Board of Education reports to the governor and legis- lature biennially, and publishes a report of its activities every year. MEMBERS Geor ge T. Baker Dai enport Anna B.

Sevenleeit YY ITH the presidency of a college goes the power to initiate policies which will ultimately determine the success or failure of the enterprise. EfRciency, ex- perience and fineness of character have fitted President Hughes for his position as the guide of the enterprise which is Iowa State College. His resignation as president of Miami University at Oxford, Ohio, in 1927, to accept the presidency of Iowa State, brought to us a man whose ideal is to assist others in the realiza- tion of their ambitions— a man who radiates an unselfish, impartial and kindly personality. President Hughes has been active in the service of the Association of American Colleges, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the National Association of State Universities, and the American Council ' on Education, in each of which he has at one time served as secretary. President Raymond M. Hushes FACULTY
