MISSOURI SCHOOL OF MINES metallurgy Board of Guidepo t to Learning MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT MIDDLEBUSH T APPRECIATE the opportunity given to me by the Rollamo editors to send this mes- sage to the School of Mines and Metallurgy graduates of the Class of 1953, You will soon join a goodly band of M.S.M, alumni and you should be proud of your membership in the alumni association You are leaving our campus at one of the most prosperous periods in its history, I have stated on many occasions in recent years that in my judgement the School of Mines never was stronger in its program of teaching, re- search and service. The State of Missouri has been generous in making these facilities avail- able to you. We shall count on your rendering back to our State and Nation rich dividends upon the investment which has been made in your development and education, FREDRICK A, MIDDLEBUSH, President, University of Missouri. B EING a division of the University of Mis- souri, the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy is governed by the University Board of Curators. The Board of Curators con- sists of nine men appointed by the Governor with the consent of the State Senate, The length of service on the Board is six years with two new men joining the Board every year. In ad- dition to many other duties, the Board recom- mends appropriations for development and maintenance of the School of Mines. The cur- rent expansion program which has occurred in the last few years is truly a tribute to their efforts. The Executive Committee, composed of three members of the Board of Curators, holds monthly meetings for the purpose of auditing claims and handling other matters of immediate concern. Truly, the Board of Curators deserves a well- earned thanks from the student body for their achievements in the development of M.S.M. Page Ten
