COMMITTEE ON NOMINATION OF PRESIDENT

The Rector reported briefly on the work of the Committee on Nomination of President. More
than 150 names had been suggested to the Committee and these names had been screened by the special
faculty committee appointed by the University Senate. Three meetings of the Committee have been
held since June and the number of names being given serious consideration has been reduced to 20.
Discreet inquiries concerning these 20 people are being made in order to supplement the written
material available to the Committee. The Rector emphasized that the Committee was not yet close
to a decision but that it might have something to report by the time of the December meeting
