Groups work behind the scenes M any of the students were unaware of the governing structure of the university, but it continued to exist - and progress - as usual. The Board of Trustees met twice this year to continue the development of the university. Twenty-one leaders from throughout the country made up Harding's board, including two who are familiar faces to the students, President Emeritus Benson and President Burks. The President's Council continued to be one of Harding's groups of volunteer leadership. With a membership of around 350, they also met semi-annually. Most of their time was spent in discussion groups based on their special interests. They had the chance to see the students and faculty at work in the spring, with an open house of all the departments on campus. The council worked to make recommendations to the board concerning the institution and proved themselves invaluable to the university on campus, as well as in their home congregations and, oommunities. - Melydia Clewell President Emeritus/Board & Council 261
