THE MIAMI STUDENT ' Like the great colordinators of a mighty brain Yau labor unseen, Compensated for your constant vigil By satisfaction in continuous progress. N the campus their title is uttered with respect, but their names are scarcely known to us. iiThey,, are the members of the Board of Trustees, those twenty-seven august gentlemen ap- pointed by the governor and approved by the Ohio Senate to direct the present destiny of 126- year-old Miami. To their wisdom and experience and to the guidance of the President of the Uni- versity together with the Deans and the Business Manager has been entrusted the administration of a university which is at once an educational l5 institution and a legal corporation. For Miami University, in the person of its Administrators, not only educates its more than 2,600 students, but also feeds, houses, and supervises them. Fif- teen dormitories and cottages where live half of the students on the campus; twelve classroom buildings to be heated and lighted from Septem- ber to June; 260 acres of ground to be continually maintained; over thirty thousand meals to be served each week to 1,471 critical students; a bak- ery, a power house, a hospital to be operated; rules to be formulated and disciplinary measures to- he taken-all these are within the province of the university,s managers, as well as the provision for the education of its students. Directing and co- ordinating the work of the aca- demic oHices, the business office, and the boarding department is the difhcult role of the adminis- trators of this $6,765,600 business. ALFRED H. UPHAM President of the University
