The University of Southern California was estab- lished in Los Angeles, July 29, 1879, through a deed of trust executed by Ozro W. Childs, Isaias W. Hell- man, and John G. Downey, donors, with A. M. Hough, J. P. Widney, E. F. Spence, M. M. Bovard, G. D. Compton, and R. M. Widney, as Trustees. On August 8, 1880, the University was incorporated under the title, University of Southern California. The first Board of Directors, consisting of eleven persons, together with the Trustees and the original donors of the trust, were the founders of the Univer- sity. The present Board is composed of thirty mem- bers, and is a self-perpetuating body. The members of the Board give generously of their time, and it is through their wise counsel and cooperation with the Administration that the policies of the University are determined and guided. The Board elects its ofiScers annually, the present officers being Asa V. Call, president, and G. Allan Hancock, chairman. 11

Assisting the President of the University in man- aging the complexities of an institution as large as SC are the Educational Vice-President Albert S. Raubenheimer, and the Financial Vice-President Robert D. Fisher. Dr. Raubenheimer has been with SC since 1923, and assumed this post following many years as Dean of LAS. Born in South Africa, he was educated at the University of Cape of Good Hope, Columbia University, and Stanford. Dr. Raubenheimer ' s office arranges the schedules of classes given in the University and supervises the affairs of the faculty . . . possibly the biggest head- ache a man could have would be that given by SC ' s budget. Equipped with icebag and aspirin, Mr. Fisher keeps a weather eye on the University ' s purse strings. Our Chancellor of the Exchequer received his A.B. from Oberlin College, then went on to get an LL.B. from Western Reserve. Mr. Fisher joined the staff in 1946. Vice presidents Albert S.
