The number of apjwintive members was increased to nine by the first state legis- lature and then in 1911 the government of the institution was vested in the newly created State Board of Education, consisting of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and six members appointed by the Governor. In 1919 the Legislature passed a bill again vesting the government of the university in a separate Board of Regents, consisting of seven members, including at least two alumni of the university. The Legislature of 1927 modified the law creating the Board of Regents by providing that members can be removed only by impeachment proceedings and by requiring that at least three members be alumni of the university. The members of the board at the present time are: Joseph Claude Ix)Oney Wewoka William Casper Kite Oklahoma City Alexander Allan McDonald Hugo John Rogers Tulsa John Carlock Ardniore Mrs. Addie Lee Lowther Guthrie Frank Buttram .
