Peterson The members of the Board of Trustees are often obscure figures to Mr. Average College Student. However, they have come to the front many times in the past year in connection with the rejuvenation of Ohio Northern University. To these people goes much of the credit for the ad¬ vancements that have taken place in the university The membership of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees includes the Honorable E. S. Matthias, Supreme Court Judge of Ohio, as chairman; Dr. John H. Clark, lawyer and chairman of the Board of Trustees; Dr. F. Bringle McIntosh, president of the university; and Mr. A. A. Stambaugh, vice-president of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio. The death of Mr. Jay P. Taggart, prominent Cleveland lawyer, leaves a vacancy on the Executive Committee which will be hard to fill. In addition to being a member of this committee, Mr. Taggart was secretary of the Board of Trustees and a former dean of the Warren G. Harding College of Law.
