Students find him a sympathetic and kind listener to their Fi- ,PHE MEN BEHIND the men behind the college can best describe the members of the group that manages St. Olaf. Little you hear of them but were it not for their untiring efforts, St. Ulaf would not be. To these people you first wrote for information on St. Olaf, and it was this same group you first saw. Through their extreme patience you were in- ducted into St. Glaf life. When you be- came befuddled with your school pro- gram, it was to them you turned for assistance. They never seem to lose their sympathetic manner of listening to oneis troubles. Have you ever thought before, what they have done for you? Undoubtedly you have run into difliculties from time to time, and you have gone to them for advice. Multiply yourself by -eleven hun- dred, and you have an idea of the great piece of work they are doing.

The St. Olaf Board of Trustees is just such a group of men. This body meets three times an- nually to review the business of the year and formulate new plans. This quiet unobtrusive body has made little impression on the students, but its importance in our school life is vital and necessary. The men on this Board of Trustees are sel-ected from various branches of the professional world. Each member is an authority in his own field, and ranks the improvement of St. Olaf College highly. As they meet, very few of us are aware of the important decisions which confront them. Their work is conducted behind the scenes, but their decisions are incorporated into campus life. The officers are Mr. Ioseph Cv. Norby, superintendent of Columbia Hospital in Milwaukee, chairman, Mr. Herman Roe, publisher of the Northfield News, vice-chairman, Mr. A. O. Lee, secretary, Mr. E. C. Iacobson, treasurer, and Mr. Carl F. Cranrud, legal counsel. The Ex-officio members are Dr. L. W. Boe and Mr. I. Igbrgen Thompson. The other members of the board are: Dr. S. C. Eastvold, pastor in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Mr. Herman L. Ekern, Chicago, lawyer with Ekern and Meyers and president of the Lutheran Brotherhood Life In- surance Company, Rev. Otto Mostrom, pastor in Zumbrota, Minnesota, Mr. O. I. Hertsgaard, Minneapo- lis, insurance, Mr. O. C. Ronken, Rochester, Minnesota, attorney-at-law, Mr. F. W. Mathison, Chicago, assistant vice-president of the National Security Bank, Mr. Randolph Haugan, Minneapolis, manager of the Augsburg Publishing House, and Rev. A. N. Rogness, pastor in Mason City, Iowa. This body has also been touched by the St. Olaf war program, for upon them rested the decision of preparing for and admitting six hundred naval trainees. Their decision in this matter was heartily ap- plauded by all St. Olafites and is indicative of the fine work they have always done. 15 '
