STATE BOARD of EU CATIU Under the State Board of Education recom- mendations for legislative appropriations of plans and financial needs were made this past year for the State University of Iowa, the University Hospital, the Psychopathic Hospital, the Bacteriological Laboratory, the General Hospital, the School for Severely Handicapped Children, the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, the Iowa State Teachers College, the Iowa School for the Blind, the Iowa School for the Deaf, and the State Sana- torium. The office of the State Board of Edu- cation administers according to the observations and conclusions of the board in regard to these institutions. The board has the power to ap- point all faculty members and administrators 24 and fix their salaries. Members are appointed by the governor, subject to the approval of the Senate, and are selected on the basis of their qualifications and fitness for the job of govern- ing seven state institutions. Not more than one alumna from any one school can sit on the board at the same time, and membership is for a six year period. They meet regularly four times a year, but the president can call special meetings. All financial matters come under the jurisdiction of the Finance Commit- tee. This committee is composed of men out- side the membership of the board, but ap- pointed by the board and subject to its ap- proval.

A Word from President Hancher This is the students' yearbook. In part it is an historical record . . . a record of the activi- ties of the students and staff of the State University of Iowa. In part it is an expression of their hopes for the future of the University and themselves. One of the purposes of education is the fore- shortening of human experience. It provides the mechanism by which an oncoming genera- tion may be brought up-to-date in the world. The record of the years activities in a great university is a record of the triumphs of in- dividuals and their defeats, both of which are relevant to that understanding of life necessary for successful living. It records the student's discovering of the power of his mind, the vigor of his spirit, and the growth of his personality. Time alone will tell the importance of this first academic year in the second half of the Twentieth Century. We cannot forsee the place which historians will assign to the year 1951-52 when they view it from the perspective of 2052, but we trust the record will show: That you, whose names and faces are re- corded here, knew how to conquer turmoil and violence and social, economic and political tur- bulence, and to maintain law and order and civilization. That you faced disaster with courage and success and equinimity. That you demonstrated by your lives that men deserve to be free. Students converse with President Hancher.
