(O 3 Board of Founders of the University OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY is owned and con- trolled by a Board of Founders. This General Board of Founders meets once each year, at com- mencement time, on the university grounds in Atlanta, to inspect the institution, to review all matters of large im- portance in the life of the University and to give directions to the Executive Committee which is elected by them, and from their number, and which will look after the details of management of the institution between the meetings of the Board of Founders. Each member of the Board repre- sents a gift of one thousand dollars or more to the Uni- versity. Nothing more ideal has ever been proposed in the man- agement of an institution. It is already in operation and its perfect practicability is largely responsible for the marvelous success of the University.

The Oglethorpe Women ' s Board ONE of the most remarkable gatherings, even in this city of remark- able gatherings, was the assembling of approximately two hundred of the representative women of the city of Atlanta at the home of Mrs. Thornwell Jacobs, November 25, 1916, to organize a Women ' s Board for Oglethorpe University. The purpose of the Board is to aid the University in every wise and efficient way. Already more than three hundred of the finest workers and most representative women of the city have joined the organization. Their activities are directed toward the support and development of Oglethorpe in every phase of its growth and activities. Each of the ladies is assigned to the committee on which she feels best able to serve. These committees cover the various departments of the University.
