RESIGNATION OF PROFESSOR WEBB
The President announced the receipt of a letter from Professor Robert H. Webb tendering
his resignation as of June 30th next. He recounted briefly the controversy within the faculty
which had prompted the action and expressed his deep regret at the decision.
He pointed out that Mr. Webb was the senior member of the faculty and was one of its most
distinguished members, and suggested to the Board that he be permitted to request Mr. Webb to reconsider.
The Board by unanimous vote approved the action and expressed the hope that Professor
Webb would decide to remain. The letter was not read to the Board, Mr. Darden stating that he would
submit it at the next meeting if he were unsuccessful.
Upon recommendation of the President, the following resignations, leaves of absence, promotions,
and elections were approved.
