To these two fell the unenviable task of overall responsibility for the Ring Figure and sub- dividing the innumerable jobs involved to various sub- committees. JB John Smith handled the preparations for the Superin- tendent's presentation of the rings, which started off the weekend.

To The Governor Governor Holton, The Board of Visitors at Virginia Military Institute is the group which has the largest say in what direction this Educational Institution will assume in future years. Each summer you have the opportunity to appoint new members to our Board, as wdl as to those of our sister state schools. The type of individual who gains your appointment has a great deal to say about how VMI will be operated. The youngest member of the VMI Board of Visitors graduated from here in 1955. We do not intend to degrade the individuals who presently serve on the Board, but it is the feeling of the staff of the VMI CADET that the appointment of a younger man would be in the best interests of our school. There is a gap of 18 WHX ME 1 years between the least senior member of the Board and this year's graduating class. This gap also indicates how long it has been since the youngest member of the Board was faced with the day to day problems of the average The Approved Solution Cadet. You have established precedent for this action by by Donald Kilcullen incurred P.T.'s for going excess your appointment of Mr. J. Harvey Wilkenson to the in the last period.
