As a body corporate they shall have per ' petual succession, and a common seal.” Thus reads the beginning of the charter, and thus began the corporate existence of Park College. Mere mention of names fails to disclose the scope of activities and accom ' plishments of those who have combined to undertake the building of such an important enterprise as a college. An interesting biography might be written of each member of the original board of trustees and of each new member elected through the succeeding years. As a board they constitute the legal entity of the institution, responsible for its management, and doing all things necessary for the proper investment, care, preservation and increase of all college property. The present membership of the board is as follows: President, Homer B. Mann; Vice ' President, Louis R. Ash; Treasurer, J. A. Bowman; George A. Lawrence, LL.D.; Charles L. Brokaw; A. O. Thompson; Robert Johnston; Rev. John Macivor, D.D.; W. C. Ralston, LL.D.; Rev. W. C. Templeton, D.D.; L. H. Wakefield; R. B. Elliott; J. P. Tucker; Rev. Harry C. Rogers, D.D.; Wilson A.
