The committee elected Dean Wilmore, chairman, Professor Crenshaw, vice-chair- man, and Director Duncan, secretary. .The committee also assigned specific duties to each member, although they have at all times worked as a unit and have received hearty and wholesome cooperation of the faculty and student body.
