EXTFNSION DIVISION - DEAN ZEHMER'S ILLNESS

President Darden reported to the Board the serious illness of Dean Zehmer and commented on
the immense growth of the Extension Division under his direction. That Division, the President
said, was already overtaxed before undertaking the supervision of the two branch colleges; he
felt that Mr. Zehmer's illness made a separate administration of the colleges imperative, and he
would report to the Board at a later meeting on the administrative rearrangements.
