MEETINGS OF THE BOARD
President Darden referred to earlier proposals for a return by the Board to its former
practice of holding fewer meetings in addition to the Annual Meeting (required by law and
normally held in June), and initiated a discussion on reducing next session's meetings from
twelve to six, but extending the meeting period to two days in order to allow time for Board
members to meet with representative members of the various faculties on the preceding
afternoon or evening.
The discussion included numerous expressions of approval, but members proposed that the
experiment of meeting with faculty groups from the several Schools of the University be tried
at once, without waiting for the organization of the next session's Board meetings.
The Board thereupon resolved that the President be asked to arrange for a dinner to be
held by the Board on Thursday evening May 13th, and to invite to it the Dean and several
professors of the Medical School, with the object of improving acquaintances and holding
informal conversations on subjects of interest to the Medical faculty.
