When we consider that last year over sixteen thousand individual students received instruction in seventy departments of learning housed in seventy modern structures, situated on fourteen hundred acres of campus, we gain some idea of the ability of these men who have governed the University through the years. We see the magnitude of the task which they have so effi- ciently performed. The members of the Board of Trustees are appointed by the Governor for a term of seven years. The Board meets the second Monday of each month in a chamber provided for this purpose in the Administration Building. Julius F. Stone, former president of the Board, last year was made its first chairman emeritus. The State of Ohio owes a great debt of gratitude to the men and women who operate this project of state education so vast that it involves a monetary value in land, buildings, and equipment of over $23,000,000. 24
