Mather Hall Board of Governors
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.
Created in 1961, 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.
As with other governing boards and associations of student leaders, the Mather Hall Board of Governors eventually was replaced by an organization that remains today, the Student Government Association.
