NAVAL OFFICERS SERVING AT THE UNIVERSITY: THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED TO GIVE THEM PROPER PROFESSORIAL STANDING
IN THE FACULTY:

The President stated that due to the rapid turnover of Naval officers serving here in the pay of the
Navy, and the rather infrequent meetings of the Board of Visitors, it frequently happened that an officer's
term of service was practically up before he had the opportunity of presenting its name for election to the
faculty, whereupon, on motion, it was voted:

That the President, upon being advised of the assignment of a Naval officer, in the pay of the
Navy, to the Navy staff here, be and he is hereby authorized to give such officer proper professorial
standing in the faculty of the University.
