Trustee Nomination

The Alumni Council last month nominated George B. Munroe '43 as its candidate for Trustee, to fill the vacancy which will occur in June when Board Chairman F. William Andres '29 retires.

Munroe, a Rhodes Scholar, an all-America basketball player, and a Harvard Law School graduate, is chairman of the board of Phelps Dodge Corporation. Supported by the nominating committee, he won the approval of the Council handily over William H. King Jr. '63, a Richmond, Virginia, lawyer, who was nominated from the floor by Andrew P. Carstensen Jr. '45, a member of the nominating committee.

Unless other nominations are received within two months of this published report, Munroe's name will go to the Board of Trustees as the nominee of the alumni. Following is the section of the Alumni Association constitution providing for Trustee nominations other than those put forward by the Alumni Council:

Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of Alumni Trustee. Said secretary shall as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition, send to each alumnus qualified to vote, an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for Alumni Trustees.

If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for Trustee shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of Trustee.
