On February IO, 1927, the Trustees elected Mr. John F. Moulds, Secretary of the Board, succeeding Mr. Spencer Dickerson, who just prior to that date had been elected Correspond- ing Secretary. Mr. Moulds, also an alumnus and of the Class of 1907, has had experience as University Cashier and Assistant Secretary which well fltted him for the new position to which he has been promoted. The Board of Trustees is the corporation formed according to the articles of incorpora- tion, to provide, impart, and furnish oppor- MOULDS tunities for all departments of higher education to persons of both sexes on equal terms, ...... to establish and maintain a univer- sity, in which may be taught all branches of higher learning, and which may com- prise and embrace separate departments for literature, law. medicine, music, technology, the various branches of science, both abstract and applied, the culti- vation of the BDC arts, and all other branches of professional or technical educa- tion which may properly be included with the purposes and objects of a univer- sity, ...... to receive, hold, invest, and disburse all moneys and property, Ol' the income thereof, which may be invested or intrusted to care of said corporation, whether by gift, grant, bequest, devise, or otherwise, for educational purposes, . . . . . .and generally to pursue and promote all or any of the objects above named, and to do all and every of the things necessary or pertaining to the accomplish- ment of said objects or either of them. The Trustees have under their control the endowments and the physical property of the University estimated to be worth 570,000,000 or more. The University owns a considerable amount of real-estate within the L0op,', income from the buildings thereon, or from leaseholds, providing a stable portion of in- come for the annual budget which for the current year amounts approximately to 54,500,000. Investments in securities, as well as in real-estate, must receive the constant supervision of the Trustees. The buildings used for educational purposes within the Uquadranglesw which are gradually extending beyond the four city blocks originally so-called, have been erected under the supervision of the Board. How important this supervision is may be realized when it is known that in the January, 1927, issue of the Unizzerrity Record it was stated that fully 359,000,000 recently had been appropriated for new buildings, including the medi- cal group, the University Chapel, Swift Hall, the Joseph Bond Chapel, and VVie- boldt Hall.
