Whenever the funds in the hands of the treasurer or funds about to be received by him are in danger of being lost, the board of trustees or the president may remove the treasurer from office and take from him all funds and choses in action belonging to the college or any student therein, and may, in the event, appoint a temporary custodian with bond or security to hold such funds.
