Mr. Badwin was given his Bachelor of Divinity by Yale and in 1959 receivec his M.A. ad eunden from Brown. One of the most active members of the com munity, Mr. Baldwin is on the boards of the Urban league of Rhode Island, American Civil Liberties Union, State Council of Churches, and the Rhode lsland Committee on Discrimination in Housing. His liberal views affected the campus with the change in the compulsory chapel system two years ago. Provost Zenas Randall Bliss is one of the men in University Hall whom the student rarely sees. Between making policy decisions and approving professorship appointments, he is allowed little time to stroll the campus. The role of provost is likened fo that of the position of an executive vice president. Mr. Bliss is second-in-command to the president and is Dr. Keeney's direct representative for the three divisions of the University Brown, Pembroke, and the Graduate Schooll. His posi- tion also ties him to the University s financial conditions.
