An early meeting of the "Bentley School" Board of Trustees. 

 

 

In July 1948, the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance was incorporated as a non-profit organization. While this information might not have made a significant impact on students' daily lives, it was an incredibly important step for the school.

Mr. Bentley donated his interests in the previous "corporation" of the Bentley School, entrusting the management of the new non-profit to a 27-member Board of Trustees. This development paved the way for Bentley to eventually establish itself as an accredited college.

All 27 original trustees were alums of the Bentley School - with the exception of Mr. Bentley, for obvious reasons! Some familiar names were on the first list of trustees, including Maurice Lindsay, Thomas Morison, and Henry Rauch.
