The board of control of the Vermont Station consists of four members of the board 

 of trustees of the university, the president of the university, an ex-governor of the 

 State who has served since 1886, and two i)ractical farmers who have served con- 

 tinuously since 1890. One half of the trustees of the university are a self-perpetuat- 

 ing body, while the other half are elected by the State legislature for terms of six 

 years. The duties of the board of control comprise the general oversight of station 

 affairs, the authorization of lines of work, the auditing of bills incurred, and, in 

 general, the shaping of the policy of the station. The general policy of the board as 

 regards work, officers, expenditures, etc., is, while exercising a general supervision, 

 to leave both incei)tion and details of scientific work to the staff and to leave it free 

 to make minor expenditures. Proposed expenditures of medium amounts are usually 

 referred to the director, and of large amounts to the board. The board holds monthly 

 meetings. The board of control has never formulated any rules, regulations, or 

 by-laws.
