Board of Regents Every student at the University of Maryland is interested in the government of the University, just as he is interested in the government of the United States. The Board of Regents has the important job of governing and of forming the controlling policies of the University. The eleven members of the Board, who serve for a period of nine years, are appointed by the Governor. The President of the University automatically becomes a member upon his appointment to office and is Executive Officer of the Board. The Board also acts as the State Board of Agriculture. Every member is appointed with careful consideration as to the needs of the University. Present Board members represent various fields of endeavor which are pertinent to University interests. Among these fields are agriculture, aviation, business, corporations, industry, and welfare projects. The eleven members, who are all outstanding citizens of the State of Maryland, are as follows: Dr. H. C. Byrd, President of the University; Judge William P. Cole, Chairman of the Board; Mr. Stanford Z. Rothschild, Board Secretary; Mr. J. Milton Patterson, Board Treasurer; Mr. Millard E. Tydings; Mr. Peter W. Chichester; Mr. E. Paul Knotts; Mrs. John L. Whitehurst; Mr. Philip C. Turner; Mr. (.harles P. McC or- mick; Mr. Harry H. Nuttle, and Mr. Edward P. Holier.

The antithesis of university life are numerous and interesting. The farmer from Pocomoke City meets the Frenchman from Paris. Students who listen to a Dixieland combo in the Grill on Wed- nesday night, on Thursday find themselves enjoying the Baltimore Symphony in the Coliseum. The couple who enjoys W. C. Fields movie at the Hyattsville are seen a week later with tickets to the U. T. Production oi Macbeth. The struggler in the quest who boasts a scant 2.0 finds he has History 6 with the 4.0 student. The poor boy meets the rich; the small town girl encounters the debutante. Many are the loves, many the memories that arise from life in a university. 23
