VERY REV. JOSEPH M. DOUGHERTY, O.S.A. Father Dougherty was elected Provincial of the Eastern Province of the Order of St. Augustine last Summer. A former Prior of the Monastery and Professor of Biology, Father has had many years of experience with administrative problems. BOARD OF BOARD MEMBERS, Mr. Cyril J. Burke, a prominent C a t h o I i c layman, and Father Donnellon, Prior of the Monastery, relax with the college newspaper while waiting for the meeting to commence. For any college to function smoothly it must have some form of internal control. At Villanova College this group is the Board of Trustees. This body meets monthly to decide the policies of the college, to approve new faculty members, to regulate the finances of the school, decide upon new constructions, check all investments, and in general keep a watchful eye over the college. The Board consists of the Very Reverend Joseph M. Dougherty, O.S.A., Provincial of the Augustinian Order in the Eastern Province and Chairman of the Board; Very Reverend James M. Donellon, O.S.A., Vice-Chairman; Very Reverend Francis X. N. McGuire, O.S.A., President of Villanova College and Treasurer of the Board; Reverend Joseph C. Bartley, O.S.A., Dean of the Commerce and Finance School and Secretary of the Board; and Reverend John J. McMcn- amin, O.S.A., Procurator of Villanova College. The Board also has two prominent Catholic laymen members in Mr. William Simpson and Mr. Cyril J. Burke. The combination of clergy experienced in academic procedure and laymen with insight into the business field gives the Board well-balanced administration. The expansion of Villanova as we see it today is a result of the excellent foresight of these men. Ever mindful of the needs of the college, thoir program for expansion carries well into the future. Already it can be seen in the three new buildings and the forthcoming heating plant.
