J une 9, 1928 OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION The Presirlevazf President Thomas came to Rutgers in 1925. In his capacity as president, he has immediate care of the education and government of the students. He is the University's official representative and co-ordinator of the works of the various units. -An especial interest of his is the relationship between the University and outside agencies, especially the State. He is given power by the Trustees to confer degrees and has been designated as a legal representative of the University. He presides at Trustees' meetings and aids in carrying out their work. From his office statistics and reports of general interest are released. It is true that the President more than any other individual represents the University, for he is present at all official occasions and has as his chief duty the advancement of the University and its interests. Bomfcl of Tmstees The Trustees are the legal directors, and to them is given final jurisdiction and responsibility in University affairs. 'The members, who are self-perpetuating, meet four times a year. They have the ultimate power in buying, selling or letting college property. All college departments are under their supervision, and all undergraduate organizations must have their sanction. It is they who are sued or sue in legal actions involving the college. The appointment and removal of all college ofhcials and professors is in their hands. They have charge of all funds and gifts to the college and supervise their execution. New departments must be authorized 'by them, while all building must be with their sanction. Thus while most of the details of running the University are carried on by their appointees, the Trustees are of great importance in the life of the University, for the final decision in all matters rests with them.
