William Arthur BOARD OF VISITORS The governing body of the College of William and Mary was increased in I960 to include 15 members in order to accommodate for the new junior colleges in Petersburg and Newport News. These members are appointed by the Governor of Virginia and confirmed by the General Assembly to serve on the Board of Visitors for terms of four years. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction serves a continuous term as ex ojficio member as long as he remains in the office of Superintendent. With the establishment of the two new divisions, in addition to the three existing divisions, a president was appointed for each of the five units. The president reports to the Chancellor Alvin Duke Chandler who, in turn, reports to the Board of Visitors. The Board of Visitors includes six standing committees which execute their respective functions and contribute to the function of the Board as a whole. The Executive Com- mittee, directed by James M. Robertson, Rector, assumes the responsibility of exercising powers and conducting business in the absence of the Board. The Finance Com- mittee, under the direction of T. Edward Temple, makes recommendations concerning direction and control of finance. The Education Committee, also directed by James M. Robertson, considers and makes recommendations to the Board on matters affecting educational policies and the instructional organization of the five units comprising the College. The Divisions Committee, under the direction of Edward P. Simpkins, Jr., makes recommendations to the Board concerning administration and financial operation of the Richmond Professional Institute, Norfolk, Petersburg, and Newport News divisions. The Buildings and Grounds Committee, directed by Dr. J. Asa Shield, makes recom- mendations to the Board on matters concerning college buildings and grounds of all units. Names submitted for consideration for an Honorary Degree from the College are referred to the Committee on Honorary Degrees for its consideration and recommendations. In addition to acting as a whole on the recommendations of these committees, the Board of Visitors appoints the presidents, all professors, teachers, and agents of the College. 4 20 )!►

ACADEMIC COVERAGE Learning, the vital process of our college lives, is evident on the campus in the dog-earred pages of a library book and in the discussion over a seminar table. A well- trained and interested faculty and the hard work of the students are the forces which mold our minds. The study and the enthusiastic guidance of each professor give to William and Mary its high academic standing and to the students, the wisdom and knowledge which they will carry throughout ' life.
