University of Virginia Library

Many-Faceted Job

"The next president must
be equally at home in the
world of affairs and education.
In addition to being able to
deal with the academic
community and gain their
respect," he asserted, "the
president must handle
problems directly with the
governor, go before the state
legislature and confidently
represent the University in
matters with various public
groups."

"It is a two - fold task
compressed into one job where
a balance must be struck
between administrative skill
and educational experience."

In addition to Mr. Holton
and Mr. Howard, others
reportedly being considered for
the position include former
Sen. William B. Spong. Mr.
Spong, however, preferred not
to discuss the rumor.
