THE TASK OF DIRECTING a University of this size is really a difficult one, yet We are confident that it rests with a very capable group. These men and Women, prominent in their own fields, have given their time and effort to the single aim of promoting Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's problems as a corporation take these executives and legal experts into a field varied and unusual. Not only must they cope with ever growing expenses, but they must consider the welfare of their faculty and their students. They must possess the foresight to make long-range depelopment plans for the future. Above all, they must envision Pennsylvania in a larger sphere. Her relationship with the community and the state and her prestige in the future depend upon the actions taken by her administrators today. This, then, is the ever present responsibility and aim of the Univer- sity Board of Trustees.
