NIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS ozlerning Kodg of the Zlnizlemitzf A separate Board of Regents has con- ducted the affairs of the institution from the date of its establishment, 1892, until the present time, with the exception of a brief interim, 1911 to 1919, during which the government of the University was given over to the then newly created State Board of lfducation. As now constituted, the Board consists of seven members who are appointed by the governor, and who may be removed only by impeachment proceedings or by legislative act changing' the law by which the Board was created. The president of the University is re- sponsible to the Board and meets with them once each month to discuss Univer- sity allairs and policies. The Board chooses the president, and appointments ol' other administrative oliicials and members of the faculty must have its approval. ab QUE x ,, f Front row, I t IBN S.
