University of Virginia Library

LIBRARIAN'S APPOINTMENT AUTHORIZED

The President informed the Board that Mr. Jack Dalton, Librarian of the University since 1950,
had resigned effective October 1st in order to accept an appointment with the American Library
Association, under a Rockefeller grant, for the development of libraries in foreign countries.

The Faculty's Library Committee, President Darden noted, was now at work seeking a
successor, and if, as he hoped, the Committee recommended a candidate from the present Library
staff, he desired authority to proceed with the appointment subject to later action by the
Board to confirm the election.

The Board accordingly resolved that the President be authorized to name the new Librarian,
subject to subsequent Board action to confirm his decision.
