There is a group of men, seldom seen by the students, who are very largely responsible for the day by day procedure of our school, They have selected our president and the faculty. lt is they who determine all fees to be charged, authorize the purchases of school supplies and improvements of the physical plant, and pass upon the disciplinary rules govern- ing the students. In brief, they determine the policy of State Teachers College and form the link between the state and college. SAM E' TIZIMBI E B o a r cl F g en 5 There are six members of our Board of Regents. They have been appointed by the Governor with the consent of the State Senate for terms of six years. The terms of two of them expire every two years. These public spirited men give freely of their time and energy toward the betterment of our college. They receive no remuneration for their untiring service. Only by our apprecia- G, C, JAMES tion of their efforts to better STC can we repay them for their labor. f R. W. ANDERSON J. W. SEWALI. xx B. F. JULIAN V. A. DOBYNS .f 5. 1.

PRESIDENT President Roy Ellis Was born in Seymour, Missouri, fifty- one years ago. It was in these Ozark hills that, as a boy, he learned the prudence, patience, and industry by which he is still characterized. Roy Ellis attended STC in 1909-1911. From here he sought degrees in Missouri, Harvard, and Columbia Universities. Dr. Ellis returned to STC as a teacher of econo- mics and in 1926 he was elected president of our college. A resume of the improvements of Teachers College since that time-in the physical plant, classroom equipment, and in the number and quality of our instructors would be an imposing monument to his success.
