BOARD OF TR TEE Directly responsible to the College Corporation as its elected representatives are the men who make up the Board of Trustees. As in any college this group performs three important functions. lt determines the fundamental policies-both educational and financial-of the institution, it provides money for the support, maintenance, and operation of the college, and it elects the staff -teachers, administrative officers, and maintenance employees. ln addition to the above duties, our Board of Trustees is responsible for the development and maintenance of inter- synodical cooperation among the three church bodies which operate our school. During the past year the board has added a third year to the Liberal Arts course. Although plans were made before, the real machinery for the Golden lubilee campaign was set up this year.
