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.

The GOVERNOR To the Studcn ' .s of tlie University: The value, of flmerican Education and its contribution to the development of our democracy is found in the initia- tive of the individual as well also as in the acceptance of responsibility by the state and its political subdivisions. The state of Nebraska as well as its local subdivisions have recognized and accepted this responsibility for the past sixty-nine years, since our state was admitted to the Union. Nebraska, a state normally rich in agricultural products, yet at times hard hit by drought, the ravages of floods, and by periods of low farm prices, has not only maintained the high standards of the State University but has in the face of adverse conditions provided for a constantly increased enrollment. The success of the University in the future, as in the past, is dependent upon a high standard of students, an able ad- ministration as well as provision for a properly selected curriculum of social and vocational studies to meet present day needs. My congratulations to the University of which I am proud to be an alumnus. Sincerely,
