These men and women have been instrumental in giving to the University the leadership which has con tributed to its growth in both a material and spirtual sense. An honorable distinction, membership on the Board carries with it an obligation to promote the cause of education. Northwestern University was incorporated by special act of the General Assembly of lllinois in January, 1851, which placed its con trol in the Board ofTrustees numbering forty-four members. Of these, thirty-six members are elected by the Corporation while eight are elected by the Four Conferences of the Methodist Epis- copal Church. To the Board is confided the government of the cor- poration, the decision of all questions of policy, the election of executive ofiicers of the University, and the administraton of its fiscal affairs. 90 36 f . f

Years ago, before Northwestern's football teams had earned the appellation of The VVildcats, they were generally designated in newspaper parlance as The Method- ists, and in good years as The lfighting Methodists. This was because the charter of Northwestern required that eight members ofthe board be designated by conferences of the Methodist Church, and that a majority of the forty-four trustees also be members of that church. These requirements continue to exist, but Northwestern has become more and more non-sectarian. lts list of trustees includes men prominent in the commercial and industrial affairs ofthe state and nation. On its hoard are three Chicago bank pres- idents: Mr. l,eavell, of the Continental lllinois National Bank N Trust Co., Mr. Clark, of the City National Bank Be Trust Co., and Mr. Pettihone, of the Chicago Title ik Trust Co., six lawyers of distinction: General MacChesney, Mr. lilliott, Mr. Bays, Mr. Clark, Mr. Blunt, and Mr. Burgess, two prominent insurance men: Mr. Oates and Mr. Fetzer, six outstanding industralists: Mr. Dryden, Mr. Cahn, Mr. Blomquist, Mr. Harwood, Mr. Dixon, and Mr. Holmes, six financiers: Mr. Barker, Mr. Norris, Mr. Coon, Mr. Mills, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Rewg the leading building contractor in the area, Mr. Wiebolt, and two real estate experts: Mr. Mclntosh and Mr. Scribner. ln addition, Bishop Wfaldorf, of the Methodist Church, is one of the non-conference trustees, and Mr. Anderson, who is business manager of the Gallup Polls, collects statistics as to the several vocations and avocations of his associates. Mr. Stevens, as president of Charles A. Stevens N Son., is one of the leading merchants on State Street in Chicago. Colonel Gardner, of the llnited States Army in charge of the Specialists Corps in this area, is also a member of the Board. Dr. Tittle, of the lfirst Methodist Church of Evanston, is a conference trustee who has taken a great interest in the affairs of the University. Mrs. Robert R, Baker is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery Ward. Mr. Blake is superintendent of the Wesley Memorial Hospital.
