The University of Miami is a duly chartered private educational institu- tion incorporated under the laws of Florida. It is a nonprofit-making cor- poration, formed for the purpose of establishing and operating an educa- tional and scientific institution having integral departments of such various colleges, schools, institutes, labora- tories, research activities, operations and other departments as is deemed suitable by its board of trustees. The board is responsible for governing the University and managing its business. Functions of the Board of Trustees are various. The executive body aids the president in determining the broad policies of the University. Diplomas and degrees are granted by the Uni- versity subject to the rules, regulations and standards prescribed by the board. In addition, for the efficient operation of the business of the school, five com- mittees have been established, each concerned with a different aspect of organization. Approximately three months before the annual meeting of the board, all trustees are solicited for recommenda- tions for new trustees. At the meeting there is a vote by ballot. Since the board is to have perpetual existence, all members are divided into three groups of differing lengths of terms. Encompassing the broad areas of University management, the board meets five times a year. Meetings in- clude the discussion of major commit- tee reports; a report by the president on the state of the University and pro- fessed policies of programs; and a presentation by one division or de- partment of the University to ac- quaint the trustees with an aspect of the operations of the University. 20
