RE-ELECTION OF RECTOR

The Rector called attention to the statutory requirement making necessary the election
of a Rector at this meeting. Upon the nomination of Mr. Barron Foster Black for re-election,
Mr. Barksdale assumed the chair, Mr. Black pointing out that he would be eligible to serve only
two years of the forthcoming four-year term. Mr. Black also reminded the Board of the
time-consuming nature of the Rector's work, and stated that he could not attend meetings
of the Board's Committees and perform the duties of Rector at the same time.

Nominations were closed and Mr. Black was unanimously re-elected.
