     Board Membership

          The Board of Trustees has been faced with the uncer-
     tainty of a quorur  to carry on the business of the Univer-
     sity for more than a year,   At the first of the year there
     was a complete change in the ex-officio members,    These
     members are busy men with many engagements arising out of
     their official connections, which make it difficult for
     them to attend meetings.   One place in the Board of Agri-
     culture group bas been filled by one member who attended on-
     ly once during his six years' appointment,    The death of
     one member in the general state group Ift a Vacancy which
     was filled by appointment, but the appointee could not qual-
     ify because his party affiliation did not correspond to the
     legal requirements for filling the place of the deceased
     member,   At the present time there are two vacancies in
     the Board of Agriculture group now occupied by Senator
     Froman and Mr. Finch, whose terms exples. In the general
     class there are two terms, one an unexpired term and the
     other expiring this year.    In the third group, that of
     the alumni, the term of Mr, Webb expires,    Out of fifteen
     memberships on the Board there are now five vacancies or
     unexpired terms,   I have talked with the Governor about
     the matter and left with him a statement covering all the
     points brought out in my report to the Board today.
