Compton Venture Investor, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Memphis, Tennessee Robert Compton has provided executive leadership, fmancial support and new venture expertise leading to the growth of successful businesses ranging from an international medical device company to more than a dozen new technology firms. He began his career with Telenet Communications before joining the IBM Corp. as a systems engineer. After earning an MBA from the Harvard Business School, Compton served as director of sales and marketing for Boston-based Zoom Telephonics, which was started at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He entered the venture capital business as an investment manager with First Chicago Venture Capital. Four years later, Compton joined CID Equity Partners in Indianapolis. As a general partner, Compton was involved in financing and building new high-technology companies throughout the Midwest. In 1997, Compton became group president for operations of Sofamor Danek Group, a medical device company in Memphis, Tenn. He was subsequently promoted to president and chief operating officer. With more than $400 million in sales, Sofamor Danek became the world's largest supplier of medical devices, computer-assisted surgery products and biologics for spinal surgery. The company was purchased by Medtronic, Inc. and Compton was named president of the Medtronic Neurologic Technologies division. That division was a market leader in cranial neurosurgery with $190 million in sales. Compton is now investing in and mentoring very early stage technology companies. He serves as chairman of four private companies-Mezzia, Nolnk Communications, ExactTarget and Sci-Tech Adventures. Compton is on the Board of Directors of several non-profit organizations involved in national efforts to improve education and promote entrepreneurship. They include the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, Interactive Academy, and Exchange City USA. In 1994, he was presented with the Chauncey Rose Medal by Rose-Hulman for his contributions to the American free enterprise system. In 1996, he was elected to the Rose-Hulrnan Board of Trustees. Doctor of Engineering B. Guille Cox, Jr. Senior Partner-Cox, Zwerner, Gambill & Sullivan Terre Haute, Indiana A member of the Rose-Hulrnan Board of Trustees since 1985, Guille Cox served as chairman of the board from 1995 to 2001. He was vice chairman of the board and chairman of its executive committee for five years. He is part of a family legacy of dedicated support to Rose-Hulman_that dates back to the founding of the college. One of his ancestors, Josephus Collett, drafted the documents establishing the institute and was chairman of the Board of Managers, the governing body of the college. Another ancestor, Robert Sayre Cox, served on the Board for several years just after the turn of the century. Guille Cox's father, Benjamin, served for seven years until 1975 as chairman of the Rose-Hulman Board of Managers, and was instrumental in assisting with the transfer of the Bulman Foundation gift to the college. During Guille's tenure as the Board's vice chairman, he helped lead the institute in the transition to coeducation, and assisted in doubling the size of the campus. While Cox was Board Chairman, Rose-Hulman achieved unprecedented campus facility improvements, success in fund-raising, and the college earned its first No. 1 ranking in its educational category in U.S. News & World Report. Two more consecutive No. 1 rankings by the magazine were achieved during his term as chairman. Cox earned a bachelor of science degree in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968. He received a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the Harvard Law School in 1971. He returned to his hometown of Terre Haute in 1971 to begin his law career with Cox, Zwerner, Gambill & Sullivan where he is now a senior partner. Cox has earned the highest possible professional rating by his peers in Martindale Hubbell. His law practice is in estate planning, trusts, probate, business and real estate law. Cox serves as chairman of the Board for Hendrich Title Co., the largest title company in west central Indiana. He is a member of the Board of Directors of First Financial

    Annual Report 2011-2012 Rudy Pozzatti (b. 1925) Flagellation III, 1978 Color lithograph, 27” x 20 5/8” Gift of Dorothy and Rudy Pozzatti, 2012.3 © Rudy Pozzatti The past year has flown by as the Swope celebrated its 70th anniversary, with festivities continuing throughout the rest of 2012. Joining the Museum during its anniversary year has been wonderful, and I have enjoyed getting to know the Boards, members, visitors, volunteers and staff, both during special events and programs and daily at the Museum. In December 2011, the Boards and staff of the Swope were delighted to learn that the American Association of Museums (recently rebranded as the American Alliance of Museums) had reaccredited the Museum for the fourth time. Achieving reaccreditation was a major undertaking that took several years to complete. It is granted only to a select number of museums, and the Swope is proud to count itself among them. On March 21, we celebrated the 70th anniversary of the first day the Museum opened its doors to the public with a special reception during the day, at which Mayor Duke Bennett read a proclamation declaring it Swope Art Museum day, and with a dinner that evening at the Museum. One of the special projects that the Swope undertook during the anniversary year was the publica- tion of a new book about the collection. The definitive work about the collection for years to come, Swope Art Museum: Selected Works from the Collection has an introduction and essays about seventy works of art by Laurette McCarthy, Ph.D. McCarthy has brought forth important new information about the collection.
