Whereupon, it was agreed, that having heard the Resolution of the General Assembly anent the proposed changes int he Charter of the University, and also the Principal's report on the same, this Board stays proceedings in Parliament, and await the Conference with the Commission of Assembly at the earliest date found most convenient. Accordingly the Board invited the Commission to meet in the Convocation Hall of the University sometime in September.
At the evening session of the Board it was informed that Professor John Macnaugton had accepted the Chair of Greek in McGill University, and asked that his resignation be accepted. The Board, in granting his request, expressed its deep regret that the University was losing the services of so likeable a man and so brilliant a scholar. Immediate steps were taken to fill the vacancy. And it was resolved (I) to offer the Greek Chair to Prof. Glover.
