BOARD of REGENTS : O To establish the policies and direct the management of the University, the Board of Regents was created by the new state constitution in 1875. Com- plete jurisdiction over all functions of the University is vested in the Regents, and they act directly on all matters of major importance. The members are elected from the old congressional districts for terms of six years each, and they receive no compensation but are reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in the dis- charge of their duties. Regular meet- ings are held in January and on Com- mencement day, but hardly a month passes without one or more special meetings being called. Mr. Earl Cline of Lincoln, elected president in January, 1936, has served on the Board since 1924. The vice pres- ident, Mr. Frank J. Taylor of St. Paul, was appointed in 1924, elected in 1926, and re-elected in 1932. Mr. S. D. Long of Grand Island and Mr. M. fl. Shaw of David City are serving their second terms of office having been first elected in 1926 and 1928 respectively. Dr. fl. C. Stokes of Omaha, who was elected in 1930, completes his first term in 1936. The recently elected member of the Board is Mr. C. Y. Thompson of West Point, who was elected in 1934. Finan- cial matters have been handled by Mr. L. E. Gunderson, Finance Secretary of the Board since 1921, and Corporation Secre ' arv since 1933. COMIVIITTEES Executive Cime Stokes.
