REPORT BY THE PRESIDENT

The President reported that the Swiss Minister of Justice, Federal Councillor Arnold Koller, and Mr. Christian Blickenstorfer, the Minister at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, would be visiting the University in the afternoon and that they and their party will lunch with the Board at Carr's Hill.

The President noted that the University is in the process of beginning a thorough re-examination of its international activities and that he will report to the Board as this study progresses.

Finally, the President informed the Board that the speaker at Finals will be The Honorable John Charles Thomas, former Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court, and that Ms. Katie Couric will speak at Class Day/Valediction. He said that the choice of Justice Thomas and Ms. Couric, both of whom hold degrees from the University, was in line with the general policy of trying, where possible, to have distinguished alumni speak at Finals.

Following Committee meetings and a recess for an Executive Session of the Board of Visitors, the Open Session of the full Board resumed at 12:30 p.m., on Saturday, March 28, 1992.
