"Section 2. The Board of Trustees of Presbyterian College shall consist of not less than twenty nor more than forty members.

Trustees shall be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected. They shall be eligible for reelection for two additional terms. Trustees, who have served with extraordinary benefit to the college, may be reelected to additional terms. If either the Synod or the Alumni Association shall fail to appoint or elect their members to the Board, appointments to fill the vacancies may be made by the remaining members of the Board of Trustees in an annual meeting. The appointees shall serve until the Synod or Alumni Association shall elect trustees in the manner provided by this act to succeed them."
