BOARD OF REGENTS The Board of Regents is elected by the Board of Trustees and is the executive board of the University. It is composed of three bishops, three priests, and six laymen of the Episcopal Church, with the Chancellor and the Vice-Chancellor serving as ex-officio members. This board performs all duties dealing with the govern- ment and the maintainence of the University, except those which are particularly reserved by the Board of Trustees. This Board holds three meetings a year at Sewanee, one at the beginning of first semester, at the beginning of second semester, and the final one dur- ing graduation. It was under the supervision of the Board that the Ten Million Dollar Campaign was coordinated. At each regular meeting the Board maintains the policy of conferring with the leaders of the student body. In this way the voice of the Sewanee man has an effect on the governing policies of the University as a whole. i8
