Edward L. Ryerson. Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Tmyteej HIt would be nice if the Trustees started off this campaign with a sizeabic gift, say $1,000,000? 61 student remarked lastJune. Little was he pre- pared for the show of faith the Board of Trustees made to their University when they started the development campaign with a $4,00EL000 con- tribution from their 51 members. Niamey was not the only contribution the trus- tees made. Not content to let things take their natural course, they pitched in and, led by Ed- ward Ryerson, worked on every stage of the drive.

It meant conferences and solicit tations at 8 S. Dearborn, details and decisions at 5801 Ellis. Convocations at Rockefeller Chapel, and speeches to social scientists, addresses to Alumni in New York and San Francisco, and all points in between. The black Plymouth Emory cabs came. Constantly on campus to ferry the Chancellor to another ofhcc, another confcrEnce. or another air-Hight.
