The Powers That Be Although the past, present and future policy of this institution rests with the author- ity of the Board of Trustees, the actual work is done by eight standing committees. The Executive Committee manages the business of the college between the three regu- lar sessions of the board. Other committees, more specific in their purpose, are those in charge of budget, loans, faculty, buildings and grounds, dormitories, nominations and de- grees. It is to Mr. O. A. Boyle, president of the Board of Trustees, that these committees re- port. The efiiciency of the business meeting is frequently speeded up by spicy bits of jest. The members of the board are informed of the accomplishments of the college by the faculty reports which are read at the annual meeting. At this March meeting, held on Founders' Day, new officers were elected.

This year the President's work has taken him from our campus a large part of the time, but he always has a friendly word for his many friends on the campus. He greatly enjoys student contacts and easily makes a friend of the most timid Freshman. up U Q This interest does not stop with the stu- dent's graduation.
