Mr. Webb reported at the meeting of January 25, 1974, that it was with great reluctance that the Committee accepted the decision of Crawford Greenewalt not to stand for reappointment.

Mr. Burden (original appointment July 2, 1962) and Mr. Haskins (original appointment April 6, 1956) have consented to stand for reappointment.

The Chancellor by letter of January 21, 1974, appointed a nominating committee for the vacancy created by Mr. Greenewalt's retirement. The committee consisted of Mr. Watson as Chairman, Mr. Mahon and Mr. Austin.

It was noted that no prior instructions to the nominating committee had indicated that more than a single name should be submitted as there was only a single vacancy.

Mr. Austin mentioned that the candidates who were considered were Samuel C. Johnson, Stephen Flaherty Keating, Murry Gell-Mann, D. Stanton Hammond, III, Howard W. Johnson, former President of MIT, Edward R. Kane, President of Dupont.

There were three additional candidates recommended but their names were received too late to be considered. Presumably they will remain in the file for possible consideration at another time. These candidates were William S. Mailliard, Representative from California (retiring) now Ambassador to OAS, Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., President of Michigan State University, and John H. Johnson, President of Johnson Publication Co., Inc.
