The Trustees are authorized to handle not onlv iirohlems of the needs of the College, but also to help in solving problems of the students. The Trustees were originally elected from the Presbyteries o^ .North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. At the ])resent, however, they come from only North Carolina and Flor- ida : the other states are supporting their own institiuinns. They are also elected from the Alumni Association. Trustees serve for a term of four years. The members are divided into numerous committees, the most imixjrtant of which is the Executive Committee, composed of ten members chosen annually. This committee e.xercises practically all of the powers of the Board of Trustees between the semi-annual meetings.

Page Twenly-lwo m QUIPS Ann grauks LANGUAGE Resinning with the change in communicatory thoughts and ideas at the tower of Babel, man has adopted many manners of ex- pressing himself. As the world has grown more international in thought and more closely knit in interests, a mastery of languages has become constantly more valuable. To keep abreast of this need, the department of languages strives first toward the per- fection of the student in his own language, and then endeavors through instruction in foreign language to open rich fields of foreign literature, customs, and culture.

The de[)artment of science, inchidins,' only the natural sciences, instructs the student in the j^eneral trutiis of natural phenomena and the operation of scientific laws. Its goal is the presentation of svstematized knowledge concerning the varied aspects of nature which surrounds onr lives and the incitement of accurate. ;uialvtical thinking.
