UNITERSITY REGENTS
Governing boards of universities are
generally credited with little discern-
ment and only a fair comprehension,
of educational matters. In endowed
institutions, they are often promi-
nent, wealthy, and contributing
alumni. In state universities, case
are extant where the board either- is
composed largely of politicians or is

lons, especially when' the seat of the

of the state. Even where no such al-t
legation is justified, the governing
board is conceived as having little
sympathy with the ideals of higher
learning.
At Michigan there is not the slight-
est room for such criticism. Though
it cannot be said that the policies of
the Board of Regents always have
been universally accepted either by
the faculty or the students, the elect-
ed representatives of the state have
displayed for many years unusual
sympathy in promoting the best in-
terests of the University. They have
never been arbitrary, and generally
have sought the advice and coopera-
tion of those most qualified to give
such aid. The latest evidence of this
wisdom and insight is the request -that
