compared to 6.956.413 last year

gether. Working with the alunni has been a tremendously
gratifying experience .“
The President's family has also been affected by Dr.
Davison's new responsibilities.
"Naturally, I'm able to be with them less and am
probably more preoccupied when I am with them. I credit
my wife totally with helping to hold the family together
through this year of organization.
“We've done a lot of moving since last June. First we
moved back to Athens, leasing a home until the Presi
dent's home on Prince Ave. had been remodeled. Then we
moved in with what seemed like 40 members of a family
We lived with the wallpapers and the carpet layers
"Fortunately, the workers have all been so nice that
it has all worked out fine. "
The former Vice-Chancellor of the University System
discussed the role of the University in connection with
the rest of the state system.
"The Chancellor's office coordinates the activities of the
entire system. They are a policy making body. An example
of their work is the joint staff situation whereby we share
faculty members with other colleges across the state
"Each University president has his autonomy and makes
decisions which are theh submitted to the Chancellor's
policy making staff
"We are part of a system We don't have to stand in
conflict with other state institutions, but can work with
them.
