 Alumni began to serve as Trustees in 1883, after requests for representation from the [[alumni_association|Alumni Association]], previously called the [[house_of_convocation|House of Convocation]]. The first three alumni Trustees were Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, Class of 1842, Luke A. Lockwood, Class of 1855, and E. Winslow Williams, Class of 1853.
-In subsequent years, particularly the 1920s through 1960s, the Trustees made frequent amendments to the Charter, changed policies and curriculum, introduced [[coeducation|coeducation]], and adopted a mission statement. The 1960s and 1970s were also a time of change for Trustee membership terms and conditions in order to create more turnover in membership. In 1974, Virginia Gray [Mrs. Walter H. Gray] and Eudora "Dora" Laurinda Richardson [Mrs. James G. Lowenstein] were the first women admitted to the Board and in 1979, Emily Holcombe Sullivan '74 became the first alumna Trustee. In 1982, the structure of board membership again was streamlined with the elimination of certain categories of membership as well as changes to the framework and the length of terms of service. Life membership terms were eliminated and members could serve for only five consecutive years, thereby making Board service more manageable and allowing opportunities for more membership turnover.
