The original charter of the board gave to this group the power to appoint the administration and faculty, to confer all degrees, and to transact all business affairs for the university. Nineteen members of the board are appointed by the Ohio and North-East Conference of the Methodis't Church from outstanding church and lay men. Nine members are elected by the alumni and ten members are elected by the board-at-large. The university president and chancellor are ex-oilicio members of the board. All members are elected for five year terms with two alumni elected annually. The board is governed by an executive committee elected from their own membership. Mr. Harvey O. Yoder, of Cleveland, has served as the president of the board for the past year. Much work is done by the board through committees which are responsible for the various phases of university action. Even with these committees at work throughout the year, the board does not try to govern every action of the university. It does, instead, delegate much of its power to the admin- istrative officers of the university. The Ohio Wesleyan University Board of Trustees., however, remains an active part of the university campus. WHAT WESLEYAN IS AND WHAT WESLEYAN WILL BE THESE MEN DETERMINE
