AdmiuLstrat ' ion Board of Regents npHE Kansas state institutions of higher education have been, since July 1, 1925, under the management of a state board of regents, the nine members of which are appointed by the governor for terms of four years each. While such selection is not statutory the appointments have been made to represent all congressional districts, with one at large. W. Y. Morgan has been chairman of the board since its creation; Mrs. Lola K. Crow is secre- tarv. The members receive no salary, but are paid expenses when on school business. Four meetings a year are required, but many more than that number are held. Primarily the board of regents was established that the state schools under its direction might be taken out of politics and be conducted as a unit of higher education, with such coordination as to give the fullest service possible, and to avoid undue overlapping of curricula. To this end the hoard has maintained close contact with the work of the schools, and has sought to bring their activities into a harmonious and effective rela- tion to complete educatmnal accomplishment. The following institutions are under the control of the board at present; Universit} ' of Kansas, Lawrence, K. S. A. C, Manhattan; Bell Memorial hospital, Kansas City, stare teacher ' s colleges of Hays, Emporia, and Pittsburg; and experiment stations at Colby, Fort Hays, Garden City, and Tribune. Members of the board with the expiration of their terms are: W. Y. Morgan, Hutchinson, June 30, 1930; C. M. Harger, Abilene, June 30, 1930; M. G. Vincent, Pittsburg, June 30, 1930; C. B. Merriam, Topeka, June 30, 1931; C. W. Spencer, Sedan, June 30, 1931; B. C. Culp, Beloit, June 30, 1932; W. E. Ireland, Yates Center, June 30, 1932; C. C. Wilson, Meade, June 30, 1933; and O. A.
