Board of Curators The Board of Curators of the University of Mis- souri and the Missouri School of Mines and Metal- lurgy is composed of nine residents of the state of Missouri appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate. In order to insure a true rep- resentation not more than one man may be ap- pointed from the same congressional district, and not more than five curators may belong to any one political party. The term of service of the curators is six years, the terms of three members expiring every two years. Each member of the Board is eligible for reappointment when his term expires and thus some of the present members have many years of experience. Each year, the members of the Board of Curators appoint three of their number to serve as the Executive Committee for the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. This committee meets monthly for the purpose of auditing claims and attending to other such business given them by the Board of Curators. James S. Bush is chairman of the present Executive Committee. The other two members are Oliver B. Ferguson and Mrs. Byron T. Shut . THE BOARD OF CURATORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI A Daaas Memphis- Mrs. Byron T. Shutz. Kansas City; lames A. Finch. Jr..

President School of Mines and Metallurgy University of Missouri Elmer Ellis As the largest engineering school in the state, the School of Mines and Metallurgy is prepared, we believe, to assume its responsibility for manning a profession of critical importance in a difficult time. Education, next to war, is probably the most expensive activity of our society. We are often reminded today that education now runs a race with catastrophe. As a matter of fact, this has always been true with mankind striving to prepare each generation for the tasks that lie ahead. The great demand for persons with engineering training places upon all of us an ever-increasing pressure to ex- pand our facilities as rapidly as possible. We will meet this challenge but will not sacrifice any of the high quality of education that has been main- tained here. This yearbook is in itself evidence of the fact that the School is a flour- ishing institution. I am sure all the friends and alumni of the School will enjoy it and will treasure it in years to come as a record of these days. 10
