The 1961 Mather Hall Board of Governors in The Ivy

The Mather Hall Board of Governors sponsored all-college social functions, such as dances and off-campus events, and served to find solutions to problems occurring within Mather Hall. The Board also coordinated guest lectures and served as a place where students could voice their concerns.

The Board was composed of students from all classes, as long as they were full-time students, and included four positions for first-year students, which ensured that they too, had a say in campus activities and culture. Ultimately, the Board aimed to ensure the most useful usage of campus spaces.

The College has had several boards and associations of student leaders, the Mather Hall Board of Governors arriving in 1961. It too, eventually was replaced by a structure that remains today, the Student Government Association.
