B0 RD 0F TR STEE ' Guiding light and policy-determiner of Ohio Wesleyan is an august body of dignitaries known collectively as the Board of Trustees. At meetings scattered throughout the year members discuss controversial issues, arrive at thoughtful conclusions and present much food for thought. Most important of discussions this year naturally pertained to war ef- fects on the university: a super-accelerated program was decided upon which included an additional period of summer school. Plans for the es- tablishment of a flight-preparatory school and subsequent changes to property and curriculum were approved. Scholarships for refugee students were not overlooked, and an extenuation of campus War effort was encour- aged. Looking ahead to the post-War world, trustees scheme and dream for fu- ture improvements and more effective methods of education. Finance, always an important issue, raised its ugly head and demanded time and attention. Unusual in its organization, the Ohio Wesleyan Board of Trustees is chartered by the state legislature. Its charter provides for the majority of members to be elected by the Methodist conferences of Ohio. No religious discrimination, however, is made. Many and varied are the academic degrees and distinctions belonging to Board members, Well known in a number of different fields, the reins of authority rest safely in their hands. lohn E. Brown is president, Harvey O. Yoder and Charles B. Mills serve as vice-presidents. Counsel is Fred L. Rosemond, secretary, Donald B. Watkins. 1 1 B. W. Sockman, E. D. Iones, I. M. Butler,
