THE PRESIDENT AND THE BOARD President James William Fulbright is in his second year as the youngest head of a state university in the United States. And for all his youth the President has an alphabet o f degrees behind him. After receiving his A. B. from the University of Arkansas in 1925, he earned a master’s degree at Oxford University by means of a Rhodes scholarship in 1931. Three years later saw him with an LL. B. from George Washington University. In the District of Columbia Mr. Fulbright was admitted to the bar of the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court. Before returning to George Washing¬ ton University as a law instructor in 1935, he served for a while with the anti-trust division of the U. S. Department of Justice. Mr. Fulbright returned to his Arkan¬ sas alma mater in 1937 to teach law, and was named President of the University two years later. When a student at the University of Arkansas, “Bill ' ’ Fulbright, as he was called by his classmates, was president of the associated students and one of the outstanding football players of the day. The President is quite a motorist. Last year he traveled over 20,000 miles, has been to Washington, New York, and Chicago since the fall term started, spends a great deal of time making speeches about the University over the state. He drives to work every day from his home, called Rabbit’s Foot Lodge and lo¬ cated about twelve miles north of Fayetteville. As far as recreation is concerned the University’s chief executive says he pre¬ fers “conversation”. He believes in good scholarship for students, wonders about their self-discipline and intellectual curiosity. BOARD OF TRUSTEES The 1941 Arkansas legislature passed a bill providing for the removal of the governor and the commissioner of education from the Board of Trustees. Four vacancies were created on the Board by the expiration of the terms of Beloit Taylor, Little Rock attorney, and Dr. F. A.
