THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The main governing board at Tech is the Board of Trus- tees. This Board is a corporation composed of twenty-nine members. Each of these members, in addition to possessing a keen interest in the promotion of Tech as a good engineering school, is also a leader in his field of endeavor. The forward thinking and planning of these men has done much to propel Tech to a high position among engineer- ing schools in the country. Although the students of Tech are not always aware of the plans of these men, some visible signs of their work are the construction of Morgan Hall and Olin Hall of Physics, the remodeling of Atwater-Kent Laboratories, and the acquisition of an atomic reactor for the purpose of a teaching aid for students. In addition to the buildings already erected or remodeled there are plans for the renovation of Salisbury Laboratories and the construction of a central library and a badly needed field house. In past years Tech has flourished and gained much respect through the work of the board. In the future, through the care- ful planning of this body. Tech will continue to flourish and assume a still higher position among engineering schools. As Tech advances, so advances the esteem of its students in the eyes of the layman and industry.

President Arthur Bronwell The President ' s Message Democracy is based upon the fact that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people . This quotation by o,ne of our great Americans, Harry Emerson Fosdick, is worth serious pondering. You who are graduating this year have already demonstrated this truism. Your educational accomplishments have not been an easy road to success. Nor will you find that life itself has any simple shortcuts to success. For there is no greater power than that of dedicated service, rendered in a spirit which will inspire faith and good will in others. Words of wisdom at a time of parting are always superfluous. But if there were one admonishment which I would want to make, it is that you plan ahead. Where you will be ten years from now will depend more than any- thing else upon what you are doing today about improving your chances for the future. This includes, above all, continued enlargement of your educational and cultural horizons. Your own determination to succeed and to build a foundation of character and quality for success will be your greatest asset. Our association with you has been a privilege which we shall always cherish. The faculty and administration — all of us — wish you happiness and Godspeed in your new undertakings. Arthur Bronwell President
