University of Virginia Library

New Provost

David A. Shannon, present Dean
of the College Faculty, was
appointed by President Shannon to
succeed Frank L. Hereford Jr. as
Vice President and Provost of the
University. Serving a five-year term,
Mr. Shannon will be an integral
figure in the planning for growth of
the University. Mr. Shannon feels,
growth is inevitable if the
University continues to admit a
substantial number of out-of-state
students.

Famed Upholder of Law and Order

In mid-April, Marcus B. Mallet,
Associate Dean for Special Scholars
and head of the Echols Scholar
Program, announced his resignation
from these positions effective at the
end of the current school year. He
will continue to act as an associate
professor of philosophy and will
teach a full course load.

Along with Mr Mallet, T.
Braxton Woody will resign from his
position at the end of the year due
to a state law which demands the
retirement of a professor when he
reaches age 70. Kenneth Elzinga,
assistant professor of economies,
will take his place.
