The President reported that the University is delighted to have three distinguished visitors from Poland who are here as part of an exchange that was arranged under the auspices of the American Council of Education.

The President introduced Professor Jacek Holowka, Associate Professor of Philosophy, and Special Advisor to the Rector at the University of Warsaw. He served as a visiting professor at Indiana University, and is the author of one book and numerous articles on moral philosophy.

The President then introduced Professor Marek Zirk-Sodowski, Dean of the Law Faculty at the University of Lodz. His specialty is the Philosophy of Law. He is the author of two books and some sixty-one articles. He has an extraordinary international record of lecturing at different institutions.

The President said that Andrzej Pelczar, Rector of the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, will visit Charlottesville later in the coming week.
