OKaig O BOARD OF T R l S T E E 8 The Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago consists of thirty members. There are regular meetings on the second Thursday of each month at 2 P.M., and special meetings as needed. The Board met fifteen times during 1929. I ' Vom its inception, the University has been a powerful and effective force for the betterment of the world in which we live. Size and resources as such are valued merely as the means by which this influence can be extended and strength- ened. The University might be described as a ninety million dollar corporation, doing business for the public good. The pride of the Uni ersity is in its achieve- ment and service in its position as a great educational institution. We have been fortunate in our leaders. The names of Harper, Judson, Burton, Mason, and Hutchins, denote wise leadership and splendid achievement. The brilliant group of scholars on Dr. Harper ' s first faculty received the cooperation and encouragement of a devoted and able group of trustees. This mutual ccv operation and understanding has always continued and has been one of the import- ant reasons for the steady advance of the University. Two members of the present I?oard, Mr. Martin A. R erson and Mr. Eli B. Felsenthal, have served since the founding of the University. Since the publication of the 1929 Cap and Gown, two new members have been elected, — the Reverend Doctor James M. Stifier, on June 17, 1929, and Mr. Cyrus S. Eaton, on November 14, 1929. Dr. Stifler is a writer, lecturer, and minister. Eor the past twenty ycar. , he has been pastor of the First Baptist Church of Evanston. Mr. Eaton is one of the country ' s leading bankers and is largely interested in public utilities, steel, and rubber; he is a Baptist and a prominent figure in the civic life of Cleveland. jm m ji M jm o m j!

Their appointment, as the President explains at the University Sing when he conducts the investiture, is based on qualities of high intellectual attainment coupled with leadership in non-academic activities. Each group has the tra- ditional privilege of making recommendations for its successor. The President designates one of the men as Head Marshal, to super- vise the work of the entire group. The retiring members choose one woman for the unofficial post of Senior Aide to take general charge of the work of the Aides. mmmmm j mi
