FOOTBALL AND ATHLETIC CONTROL

Mr. Talbott laid before the Board an original and copies of a Report dated 10 December 1955
on recent discussions with the faculty and on recent developments and attitudes regarding athletic
policy and control. The Report was ordered to be filed.

At the Rector's request President Darden discussed a proposed meeting of college and
university presidents at Natural Bridge on December 19th in response to a suggestion by Senator
Willis Robertson. Mr. Talbott suggested that the President could not do better at the meeting
than to report just what our present policies actually are, and invite suggestions for improvement.
