SELECTION OF A DEAN FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL

President Darden stated that he was appointing a committee to begin the search for a
new dean and that Dr. Lippard would help in every way possible in the six months before his departure.
Dr. Emmett stated that the salary of the dean should be increased to enable us to get
a replacement for Dr. Lippard. He proposed that a part of the earnings of the Clinical Departments
be set aside as a supplement to the salary which the State provides for the dean.

President Darden stated that he had discussed this possibility with Dr. Lippard who
thought it inadvisable for the dean to be compensated from the earnings of the clinicians.
