Though unnoticed in most of their endeavors, tht- time and effort the Board spends greatly benefits Pingry. l'erforming a three-fold function. the Board is in charge of the maintenance of the buildings and grounds. the man- agement of business and financial matters. and the establishment of the general policies of administra- tion. The Board also works in close harmony with Mr. Springer. acting as an adxisory body. As can readily be seen. the members of the Board are much more than impersonal policy-makers. for nearly every member is either a Pingry graduate or has had a son at Pingry. Since Pingry moved into its new school. the Board has been divided into sex en committees which deal with such important matters as finance. en- dowment. public relations. and the care of the school and grounds. each member serxing on at least one committee. Through these functions can readily be seen the unceasing endeavors of the Board to raise the status of the school.
