" the world of American higher education
looks to this association with new hope
and expectancy. "

others realized that people were not really
interested in AGB as an organization;
rather, they wanted information that was
not available elsewhere. The gatherings
of " delegates " became " conferences " and
" workshops. " A calculated movement away
from being an organization of trustees and
toward becoming an organization for trustees was afoot.
AGB's first published book, Handbook
for College and University Regents, was
released in 1964. Its intent was to " serve as a
stimulus to all board members to ferret out
and verbalize the policies and practices of
their board and institution. " The handbook
described meeting formats and agendas and
discussed the board's role in academic, financial, and student affairs, as well as athletics.
At the 1964 annual meeting, University
of North Carolina President William Fri-

day announced that for AGB " the door was
opened for a more autonomous, more useful, and more productive and significant
possibility of service. " He proclaimed that

AGB's emergence among higher education
association coincided with the growth of activism on America's campuses. Trustees were
under scrutiny as never before, and a forum to
exchange information on how to respond to
these new challenges was in demand.
Attendance at the annual meetings grew,
as did membership. Campus unrest became
the central focus of the association's activities through the 1970s. From 1966 to 1970,
annual meeting themes included: " The
Changing Student Mood, " " Crisis on the
Campus: Import for Governance, " " Boundaries of Academic Freedom, " and " The
Trustee Role in Stabilizing the Campus. "
