Eben Rodgers, recently retired president of the Alton Brick Company, serves as president of the Board with Mrs. Spencer T. Olin (Ann Whitney, ’25) officiating as secretary. The other seven members of the board who give so generously of their time and effort for the benefit of the college are Mrs. William Wood Parsons of Terre Haute, president of Monticello from 1910 to 1918; Mrs. Theodore Chapman, widow of the late T. S. Chapman, who was the former chairman of the board of trustees; Mrs. George Sparks Milnor (Alice Ryric, ’ll) of Wilmette, Illinois; Marshall Acker, vice-president of Olin Industries, Inc., of Alton; D.

Young, president of the college, who is a member ex-officio. A scholarship reserve fund was established by the trustees this past year for the purpose of expanding educational opportunities for worthy students of the college. Profits from such campus enterprises as the bookstore, coin-operated machines, the Cabin, and the money given by graduating classes for scholarship purposes, are to be turned over to this fund. feAk
