Shock and dismay on the part of occupants faculty encounter in the Chancellor. E. Laurence search for a search for a Chancellor pelpigle.
Many regents expressed sorrow over the course of events, but emphasized that they were not a decisive decision on Chalmers' part.
"It is hard for me to imagine if divorce would actually hinder someone's effectiveness on the other end of the spectrum, such a traumatic thing as a divorce. It was a personal thing on the chancellor's part. He had an even greater responsibility."
"I am shocked, disappointed and sympathetic to the entire family," said Joe Stewart of the governor of the Board of Regements.
"I hate to see it. I sure do," said James Basham, from Fort Scott. "I think Dr. Chalmers has a whole lot for that university."

I'm very sorry for him to leave. I could safely describe myself as a Dr. Chalmer's maid, the Courter, pogert from Wichta.

RONALD CALGAARD,
associate dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences and
chairman of the Executive Committee
(SenEx), said he was saddened
by the resignation.
"I'm sorry to see a series of events occur that made him feel that he should submit his resignation." he said.
"I am personally very distressed that Larry Chalmers is leaving the University of Kansas. I'm fond of Larry Chalmers. In spite of the difficulties he faced in being canceled, he has made a remarkable contribution to KU I am very sad," he said.
"I had a close working relationship with Dr. Chaimers," said William Schoen, associate chair of school architecture and Urban Design.
Before Chalmers' official resignation Saturday, Dave Dillon, Hutchinson senior and student counselor at Texas Tech, wrote a letter to the Board of Regents. According to Dillon, the essence of the letter was that the students did not feel that Chalmers' role was important to reason to require his resignation

such a time assumed a very heavy burden. Dr. Chalmers handed that burden very well." Lucas said.
Dillon further told the regents he was sure they were aware of what he said. He said such a crisis required qualities of leadership and foreseeing. He said he thought Chalmers possessed these qualities and done a good job as chancellor.
Dillon said the most important thing now was to look toward the future.
"There are some things in the environment that people can't do anything about, so we said," he added. "We know how to deal with a bad crowd. People may want to go."

"It's very regrettable we such a good chancelor," she said. "Dr. Chalmers demonstrated his ability as a chancellor. Now KU must look forward. Ray Nichols has quite a lot of experience." Chalmers should remain as a tenured member of the staff.
"I hope that there will be student input on the selection committee," she said.
Some students said unfair press coverage was a factor in a flagship distribution to resign. A flyer distributed at the committee called the Committee for Unbiased News Reporting contended that journalists Journal-World for what it called slanted coverage and urged all subscribers to cancel their subscriptions to the Journal-World one-month period beginning Sept. 1.
MITCH ADAMS, Overland Park junior commented, "I'm against it (the resignation) and I think it should be grounds for being
forced to resign. I think he was pressured."

JIM KENDELL, Rockford, Ill., junior, said, "I don't know why he resigned. The job was getting to him, it seemed. But I'd like to know more about why he researched at the school or the divorce or what the deal was. I don't really feel qualified to react."
John House, Raytown, Mo., and chairman of StudEx. said, "Chalmers who was a fine chancellor, but we respect his decision to move to the office of my chancelor to continue the advancements Dr. Chalmers suggested was beginning to implement."
