President J. Rion McKissick was
unanimously elected Vice President
of the National Association of State
Universities at its annual conven
tion in Chicago Saturday, Nov. 8.
President Alexander Ruthven of the
University of }dichigan was elected
president of the association.
Doctor McKissick said that the
convention reafftmed its position
