President Darden announced to the Board the death on 25 October 1955 of Dr. Morgan Lafayette

since that date a staff member of the College on leave. There were expressions from the Board of
regret for Dr. Combs' death and for the long illness that preceded it, of appreciation for Dr.
Combs' devotion to the College and for his notable services in building up its strength during all
the years of its attachment to the University prior to his own ill health. The Secretary was
directed to record these expressions in the permanent minutes and to convey to Mrs. Combs the
sympathy of the Visitors
