BOARD OF TRUSTEES Sealfd: Mrs. Donahoo, Mr. Shortlidge, Mrs. Cooper. Slandim): H. Vanderslice, A. Hart. F. Wood. W. Ridgway Acting as an interpreter between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the College is the primary duty of the Board of Trustees. Because of the many specific activities with which this group is concerned, we may say that the responsibilities which rest upon it are great. The monthly meetings, at which Dr. Swope presents his summary of the progress of the college, are the means by which the Board of Trustees copes with the problems of both the students and the faculty. There are various committees of the Board of Trustees that gather information pertinent to these problems. The members of this group are chosen because of their outstanding dependability and good judgment. Active leaders in their own communities, these man and women are well qualified to give sound advice and to make wise decisions. As an evidence of their fine work. West Chester has shown marked improvement in college living. Now that the present crisis is making ever- increasing demands upon us, we are confident, as never before, of the ability of these men and women to develop a bigger and better college community.
