development of this campus of the University, and this desire has been made known to her. The offer that Miss Cone is considering is for appointment as a Vice Chancellor of the University at Charlotte and professorship in mathematics at an annual salary of $18,000. We believe that this appointment affords an effective means of retaining Miss Cone's demonstrated capacities in the service of the University.

"Miss Cone has stated that she wishes Dr. Colvard to have the opportunity to shape his own administrative staff. She and Dr. Colvard have had several discussions and Miss Cone has agreed to continue as Acting Chancellor until Dr. Colvard takes up his duties at Charlotte on a full-time basis within the near future. Dr. Colvard has also asked Miss Cone to assist him in the transition period once he is in residence and she has graciously agreed to do this.

"Mr. Chairman, I should like to ask Miss Cone to stand because I know everybody here wishes to express our appreciation to her. "

Miss Cone received a standing ovation.

Dr. and Mrs. Colvard were escorted to the Hall and were presented to the Governor and the Board by President Friday. They were warmly received.

Dr. Colvard then made the following statement:

"Governor Moore, members of the Board, President Friday, Miss Cone, my fellow educators who are here:

"I am sure that this is not the hour for a lengthy statement from a new chancellor, or perhaps anyone else, but I would like to take this opportunity if I may to express my deep gratitude to you for inviting us to North Carolina - back to North Carolina - in what we consider a most important educational assignment.

"As we have viewed the University of North Carolina at Charlotte we see an emerging institution; emerging on the basis of a foundation which has been very skillfully and diligently wrought by Miss Cone and her associates; emerging in a frame work which has been built by the study and careful thought of the trustees and the action of the Legislature. We see it emerging in an area of our state which is dynamic and going, and we see it emerging in an educational setting which is demanding more from higher education year after year, and certainly in a pattern of university education which can give assistance to a fledging institution.

"He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Berea College; he has been a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond; and is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Blue Key, Omicron Delta Kappa, and other professional and honor societies.

"While he has been president, the enrollment at Mississippi State University has grown from 4,500 to 7,300 and graduate enrollment doubled. He developed a long-range plan for the development of the campus and a development program that has already accumulated assets of several million dollars.

"Dr. Colvard has worked overseas in Peru, Thailand, and in other countries as a consultant to our government and to private foundations, and has visited some twenty foreign countries in carrying out these and other responsibilities.

"He is a Presbyterian and has served his church as deacon and elder.

"Dr. & Mrs. Colvard have two daughters and a son; their dauther Carol is a resident of Raleigh.

"I am delighted to recommend this distinguished North Carolinian to you for appointment as Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte." Mr. Leath:

"Our Committee is highly pleased that our Board now has the opportunity to bring back a native son who has achieved distinction and is one of the most illustrious educators.

"Your Excellency, it gives me pleasure to nominate for the position of Chancellor of the Charlotte campus, Dean Wallace Colvard. "

The nomination by Mr. Leath was seconded by Mrs. Wilson, and Dr. Colvard was elected by unanimous vote. President Friday:

"Mr. Chairman, before inviting Dr. and Mrs. Colvard to come and appear before this Board, I want to make it clear that the Trustees who have been directly involved in this election and I all share deep appreciation for the outstanding work that Miss Cone has done in bringing the Charlotte campus to its present status. It is a magnificent achievement. We are equally clear in our desire to have the continuing benefit of her experience and ability in the

that as the institution was changed very recently from a two-year, and then a four-year college of community type to one of University status, the chancellor we considered should be a person of national stature in the field of education from the standpoint of scholarly attainment and demonstrated administrative capability. One whose stature is such as to attract an outstanding faculty; a person experienced in the development and operation of a university; a person fully capable in every respect of leading the institution to the realization of its vast potential in graduate as well as undergraduate curriculum. And finally, a person young enough to serve in the capacity as Chancellor for at least ten years before reaching the mandatory requirement age of 65 years. Our efforts have been richly rewarded. We have been most fortunate in finding a person who meets all of the requirements and who is willing to accept the challenge of developing the Charlotte campus into a vital part of the University to the end that ultimately it will be on a level with the campuses at Chapel Hill, Greensboro and Raleigh.

"We now yield to President Friday so he may present his recommendation to the Board."

President Friday:

"Mr. Chairman, after receiving the report of Mr. Heath's Committee, I conferred with the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees and I am pleased to recommend with the approval of the Executive Committee the appointment of Dr. Dean W. Colvard as Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

"He was educated in the public schools of North Carolina, at Berea College, the University of Missouri, and Purdue University where he received the Ph.D. degree in 1950 and an honorary doctor's degree in 1961.
