Board of Trustees The maior functions of the Board of Trustees are the direction of finance and the determination of school policy. The school administration then car- ries out the policy established by the Trustees. The Board this year consists of fifteen members selected from parents of students, alumni, and people in- terested in the welfare of Pem-Day. The Board of Trustees is divided into many different committees such as committees of scholarship, athletics, en- trance, building, etc. There are committees for every school function and it is through these various com- mittees that the Board operates. These committees also establish the standards of the school. The Trustees employ the headmaster who directs the school and is answerable to the Board. This is the Trustees' only direct contact with the educa- tional branch of the school since they are not con- cerned with the employment of the faculty or ad- ministration staff. The Trustees also set tuition and assessments and approve the budget compiled and submitted by the Business Manager of the school. Through its power to allot funds and to censor the budget, the Board is solely responsible for the direction and status of the school's fiscal affairs. This year, besides carrying out its usual duties, the board has accomplished two noteworthy proi- ects. The first was the planning and execution of Pem-Day's Fiftieth Anniversary Dinner. At the din- ner, which approximately 700 people attended, the contributions of the faculty and staff of Pem- Day were recognized. The second proiect, accom- plished by the Board this year, was the completion of the plans to expand the physical- plant of Pem- Day in order to take care of the present number of students more efficiently. This latter proiect involves a fund raising drive, called the First Century Fund Campaign, to obtain the 5600,000 needed to ac- complish the building program. The plans for the campaign have been completed, and the drive will last all summer and end in the fall, by which time it is hoped the necessary money will have been secured. During the summer the members of the Board of Trustees, alumni, and others will personally con- tact friends of the school to solicit the necessary funds. If all goes well, the building proiect will be- gin in the spring of 1961. The plans for expansion include a winter sports building and improved over- all athletic facilities in order to allow more boys to participate in winter sports and to concentrate student activities better than is presently possible. Besides better athletic facilities the Board has de- cided to begin work on several other building projects at the some time. These include a new junior school building, an enlarged dining room and kitchen, a separate library building and other improvements.
