Few of us realize how indispensable and vitally important the Board of Trustees is in the life of the college. Its mem¬ bers establish policies concerning the curriculum and instruc¬ tion, take measures proper for the advancement and protec¬ tion of college interests, confer degrees and help raise money for the college. In short, through the president and business manager whom they elect, they manage and operate Park. Mr. Robert Gibson, a Park alumnus, was recently elected as a member of this self-perpetuating group. As all but six of the men are from Kansas City, they are called upon more often than most Boards of Trustees, inevitably responding graciously to whatever request is made. — 25 —
