The highest echelon in the administrative chain of com¬ mand at the Institute is a corporation, consisting of twenty-nine members. It is known as the board of trustees. It is this group which sets the major policies of Worcester Tech, such as the current development program. The program is now well under way, with the occupation of Morgan Hall, the remodeling of Atwater-Kent Laboratories, and the comple¬ tion of Olin Hall of Physics each in the last stages. Plans now also include a new central library and field house, as well as badly needed remodeling of Salisbury Laboratories. The program has been extremely successful to date, finan¬ cially at least, since the five and a half million dollars needed for its completion has been realized. The Board is composed mainly of interested leaders in business and industry, in addition to the President of the In¬ stitute, the Mayor of Worcester, and several ministers serving as ex-officio members. 22 THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
