MADISON PAPERS: MR. RACHAL AND MR. WHITE'S ILLNESS

In commenting on the election of Mr. W. M. E. Rachal (as noted above) to be the University's
representative on the Board of Editors for the publishing of James Madison's papers, President
Darden informed the Board of the serious illness of Professor Leonard D. White of the University
of Chicago. As Mr. White is the senior of the two editors representing the University of Chicago
in this joint project of the two universities, Mr. Darden pointed out that there would be a delay
in getting the editing work organized and under way.
