TALBOT T. SPEER, PRESIDENT. DAVID L. BRIGHAM, SEC.-TREAS. Alumni Association The life-blood of any university is found in its alumni, faculty, and student body. Alumni have the double advantage of having seen the university from the inside as well as from the standpoint of the opportunities it has created for each. Great con- tributions have been made to both the State of Mary- land and the nation by men and women holding degrees from this institution. Some 25,000 are mem- bers of this organization pledged to foster the wel- fare of the University, stimulate public action for its betterment, and promote the best interests of both present and future graduates. Alumni are joined in eleven individual school associations and in geographical clubs to comprise the University of Maryland Alumni Association. Together they extend a hearty welcome to those who are presently students, but who will soon join the ranks of the many who have preceded them in loyal graduate service to the University of Maryland and their fellow alumni.

Board of Regents The University of Maryland, being a state institution, is governed by a gubernatorial board known as the Board of Regents.

The other members are care- fully chosen from various fields of endeavor which are pertinent to the Uni- versity. Among these are agriculture, aviation, business corporations, industry, welfare, and other projects contributing to the policies and management of the University. The present Board is composed of the following members: Dr. Harry C. Byrd, President of the University and Executive Officer; Judge William P. Cole, Chairman; Mr. Stanford Z.
