M R. IJILLI NGHAIXI, Truxtev Trustees The Board of Trustees of Punahou School is a self-perpetuating body responsible for the property and operation of the institution. There is a wide difference between being responsible and actually car- ing for the property and running the school. The real work is done by the staff headed by the president. If the staff were to be inefficient and the school ran down, the trustees would be rightly blamed for appointing the wrong people, The Board is the policy-making bodyg the staff carries out the policies. There are fifteen trustees. Two are elected each year to serve for seven years. The fifteenth member is the president of Punahou School, who is not elected for any fixed period. Nlost of the members are alumni, and all are deeply interested in Punahou. The list in the school catalog is correct except that IJ. Hebden Porteus has replaced Alfred L. Castle. The meetings of the Board are held on the second Friday of each month, usually at noon at the Pacific Club. The trustees serve without compensation of any kind fthey pay for their own lunch- eonsj. The presiding officer is the first vice-president, or in his absence, the second vice-president. There are seven standing committees of the trustees provided for in the by-laws: Administration, Boarding Department, Buildings and Grounds, liducation, Finance, Music and Scholarship. Special committees are appointed from time to time. At the monthly meetings the usual agenda include reports of the secretary, the treasurer, the committees, the business manager and the president. Dr. Fox usually arranges to have one or more staff members present to give a brief account of some department or activity of the school. It is a pleasure to record that the accounts thus given are notable for their frankness. The good things are mentioned and also the not so good. Although the sentence with which this brief statement started out is true from a strictly legal point of view, it is quite clear that the best efforts of the trustees would be futile unless the staff and the students successfully carried out their respective responsibilities. lt is a team of three and each has to pull its share. 6
