CHANGES IN THE BOARD OF REGENTS.

The Secretary announced that on March 3, 1931, the President pro tempore of the Senate had appointed Senator Joseph T. Robinson as a Regent to succeed himself.

As regards the House Regents, Sec.5581 (R.S.) provides that they shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House, and that -

"The members of the House so appointed shall serve for the term of two years; and on every alternate fourth Wednesday of December a like number shall be appointed in the same manner, to serve until the fourth Wednesday in December, in the second year succeeding their appointment".

Under this law, Messrs. Albert Johnson, R. Walton Moore, and Robert Luce are Regents with full powers until December 23, 1931.

Three vacancies exist in the "citizens" class of Regents, caused by - 

1. The appointment of Mr. Hughes as Chief Justice;

2. The election of Mr. Morrow as a Senator;

3. The expiration of the term of Mr. Robert S. Brookings on January 6, 1931.

With reference to the vacancies in the "citizen" class of Regents, after discussion, the Board by vote expressed its preference that these be filled by the selection of R.Walton Moore, of Virginia; William Cabell Bruce, of Maryland; and Charles G. Dawes, of Illinois.
