TRUSTEES The legal and corporate title of the institution is "The Trus- tees of Davidson College."' The trustees are elected by the Presbyteries of North Carolina and Florida and by the Alumni Association. The Presbytery of Concord is entitled to elect eight, Mecklenburg five, Orange and Fayetteville four each, the other five Presbyteries in North Carolina and the three Presbyteries in Florida two each, and the Alumni Association twelve, making a total of forty-nine. All trustees are elected for a term of four years.
