ZJL CHANCELLOR The Right Reverend R. Bland Mitchell, Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, was elected June 9, 1950, to the office of Chancellor of the University of the South. Serving as Chancellor for a term of six years, Bishop Mitchell acts as ex-officio president of the Board of Trustees. Unlike many American colleges and universities, the Chancellorship of the University of the South is an honorary office, while the Vico-Chancellor is the actual President of the University. This idea was inherited, just as the academic gowns were, from Oxford University in England. Bishop Mitchell received B.A., B.D., and D.D. degrees from the University of the South. Since his graduation from the School of Theology, Bishop Mitchell has served as director of the Board of Missions, as a member of the Board of Trustees and the Board of Regents of the University of the South, and as a member of the Board of Trustees at All-Saints College in Vicksburg, Mississippi
