PRESIDENCY OF COLLEGE — SPECIAL BOARD MEETING

The Rector commented on the outstanding work accomplished during the summer by the special
Committee appointed to select an executive head of the College.

Referring to the Resolution of 10 June 1955 proposing a change of title for the administrative
head of the College resident in Fredericksburg, the Rector appointed the following special Committee
to present this Resolution to the General Assembly:

Mr. Gray

Mr. Mears

Mr. Coxe, Chairman

Mr. McWane said that he was not yet ready to present the report of his Committee, but that the
very large number of candidates considered had now been reduced to six persons, it was the plan
of the Committee to hold interviews with each of these persons during the next two days, and that
these interviews ought to enable the members of his Committee to narrow their choice to one man.
Mr. McWane said that he would be ready to present his report at any time thereafter at the
pleasure of the Board.

On motion of Judge Barksdale, duly seconded, the Board thereupon resolved to cancel the
meeting scheduled for November, and to hold a special meeting on Saturday morning, September 24th,
at 10:00 o'clock to receive the report of Mr. McWane's Committee and make a final decision.
