In October 1932, the Trustees, by formal resolution, established
the "Advisory Board of the Morris Foundation" to advise the
Director of the Arboretum (Minutes, 21: 217). In October 1954,
President Harnwell announced to the Trustees that he was negotiating
"a proposal to change the advisory structure [of the Morris
Arboretum] to make it consistent with that of the other University
advisory boards" (Minutes, 26: 106). The Trustees took no
formal action on the President's report. In March 1972, the
Trustees, by formal resolution, recognized that "the Advisory
Board of the Morris Arboretum now wishes to pattern its organization
more closely on that of the other operating and advisory boards
of the University." The resolution, second, stated that "to
this end" the Advisory Board "has nominated one of its members,
Dr. F. Otto Haas, as Chairman." The resolution, third, noted
that the President of the University had served as Chairman
of the Advisory Board "since the establishment of the Arboretum
and its Board in 1932." The resolution, fourth, stated that
President Meyerson was agreeable to the proposed change. The
Trustees therefore elected F. Otto Haas Chairman of the "Advisory
Board of the Morris Arboretum" (Minutes, 34: 127). In May
1977, the Trustees, by formal resolution, changed the name
of the "Advisory Board of the Morris Arboretum" to the "Board
of Overseers of the Morris Arboretum" and appointed four persons
to membership on the Board (Minutes, 37: 196). Just one month
later, in June 1977, the Trustees reversed themselves and
rescinded the name change, but again, by formal resolution,
conferred the title of "Associate Trustees" on all members
of the Advisory Board of the Morris Arboretum. In so doing,
the Trustees effectively conferred the status of a Board of
Overseers on the Advisory Board of the Morris Arboretum (Minutes,
37: 244).
