BOARD OF TRUSTEES SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS Election of Officers President of the Board

[January 15

Mrs. Shepherd called for nominations for president of the board. Mr. Logan nominated Mr. Howard, and Mr. Forsyth seconded the nomination. The nominations were closed, and, by unanimous ballot, Mr. Howard was elected president of the board to serve until the next annual meeting of the board or until his successor shall have been elected. The trustees took special occasion, as did the president of the University, to commend and to congratulate Mrs. Shepherd for her efforts in a difficult period of service as president of the board during the past two years. President Howard, in taking the chair, expressed his sense of honor and responsibility in serving again as president of the board. (He was president from January 1977 until February 1979.) He paid tribute to the service of his predecessor and to the University faculty and staff in general, noting the unparalleled institutional success of recent years and the general awareness of opportunities for the future.

Executive Committee

Mr. Howard then asked for nominations for the Executive Committee. Mr. Forsyth nominated Mr. Logan and Mrs. Gravenhorst to serve as members of the Executive Committee, with the president of the board as chairman, ex officio. The nominations were closed, and, by unanimous ballot, Mr. Logan and Mrs. Gravenhorst were elected members of the Executive Committee to serve until the next annual meeting of the board or until their successors shall have been elected.

Secretary, Comptroller, and University Counsel of the Board

In accord with the Bylaws of the board, the president of the University had conveyed his advice to the board that the three incumbents be reelected: Earl W. Porter, secretary of the board; Craig S. Bazzani, comptroller of the board; and Byron H. Higgins, university counsel. Mr. Forsyth moved that a unanimous ballot be so cast, and the incumbents — Messrs. Porter, Bazzani, and Higgins — were elected secretary, comptroller, and university counsel of the board, respectively, to serve until the next annual meeting of the board or until their successors shall have been elected.

Treasurer of the Board

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Bernard T. Wall was reelected to serve as treasurer of the board for a two-year term in accordance with the statutory provision for a biennial term for treasurer. He will serve until the annual meeting of 1985, or until his successor is elected and qualified.
