CLAIR GRAVELEY ALLEN TAYLOR VINCENT State Board of Education a ie GOVERNING of the University of Idaho is done by an Associa- tion called the State Board of Educa- tion and Board of Regents of the University of Idaho. It is a system not in common use by other states, but which has worked out very sat- isfactorily in Idaho, The educational governing system formerly con- 9] sisted of a State Board of Education and a Board for each of the state educational insti- tutions, which included the schools at Lewiston, St. Anthony, Pocatello, Albion and Caldwell. Later each of these was combined with the State Board of Education, with the exception of the Board of Regents of the Univer- sity, which remained as a separate board. Then these two boards were I ag € 24 Sara VINCENT combined by appointing the same persons to each of them. The Board is appointed by the governor and the term of office is five years, with one member’s term expiring each year. The present members of the Board and its officers are: President, Clency St. Clair, Idaho Falls, | whose term expires in 1930; Vice-President, Stanly A. Easton, Kel- log, 1931; Secretary, Asher B.

Ts ipEALS which the University of Idaho holds up to her students should aid them in developing a loyalty to themselves and a loyalty to the University and State; they should also aid them in maintaining standards which will warrant the Institution’s finest commendations for them as they go out into real service. Since it is true that the highest type of citizenship bears the marks of truth, square dealing, friendship, and virtue of the noblest kind, and that these qualities must be engraved in home and school, the University expects to note these standards before she finally places her stamp of approval. The University awaits the coming of youth, places about them an arm of protection here, and through the years holds them in affection and esteem as she observes them earning their way to places of honor and distinction.
