T i i C C A C T US 1 -9 3 2. H. Y. BENEDICT X resident ol tne University To the Cactus of 1932 falls the happy task of recording the details of the nine new buildings that mark so distinct a step forward in the physical growth of the University. Many men have helped to make these buildings possible — to name only a few of them is to do an injustice to the others. Governor and Senators, Representatives and Regents united to perform a task that the discovery of oil on University lands had rendered possible. Buildings, of course, do not make a University, but a beautiful and adequate group of them is an outward and visible help to an inward and spiritual growth. It is probable that for all time to come our University will be better because of the new buildings of 1932. They will not cause us to forget the truth that President Mezes wrote in 1914, Men make a university. It can grow great in humble and cramped quarters; it cannot grow great without strong men. May the members of the group of 1932, for the sake of our University, but more for the sake of them- selves and of their State, attain a high level of vocational efficiency, exhibit a fine public spirit, and enjoy worthwhile human lives.

T H U -9 R. L. Batts Chairman, Board of Regents xSoard ol Xvegents THE law makes it the duty of the Regents to estabUsh The Departments of a First-class University, to appoint a president, other officers and professors, to fix their salaries, to enact by-laws, rules and regulations, to prescribe (with the advice of the professors) the books to be used, and to confer de- grees and diplomas. The right to fix salaries is limited by the legislative appropriation bills. The Regents have authority to remove professors and officers when in their judgment the interest of the University requires it. The University lands are under the control of the Regents, ex- cept that the oil and gas leases are made by a Board composed of two Regents and the State Land Commissioner. In addition to the two million acres of land thus controlled, the Permanent Fund owns approximately eighteen million dollars in bonds and cash invested by the Board under the terms of the constitution and the statutes. The activities of the Board for the past four years have been largely confined to securing the needed legislation for properly administering the lands and funds of the University and develop- ing the physical plant, and to action under these laws. To enable the further expansion and development of the campus and the erection of necessary buildings, the constitution was changed and the Board authorized to borrow four million dollars. The unpledged part of the Available University Fund, the money to be secured by the legislation referred to, and four hundred thousand dollars paid and to be paid by the Ex-Students Association have made it possible to erect the Gregory Gymnasium, the Women ' s Gymnasium, Waggener Hall and a much needed building at the Medical School, to acquire about twenty-five acres of land adjacent to the campus, and to make the contracts for the erection of nine additional buildings. The completion of these buildings will permit the removal of all shacks, and will meet most of the pressing needs of the University. The Board in its work has received the invaluable assistance of a great President, an exceedingly capable Comptroller, and is under obligation also to the Ex-Students Association, the Faculty Building Committee, and other faculty members who have given time and thought to the problems presented by the building program.
