Duke President Quits; Vice President Fired
DURHAM, N. C.-(UFI)—Duke University trustees have reshuffled the institution's top administrative offices in a move to relieve an "intolerable situation" that led to the resignation of President A. Hollis Edens.
Trustees accepted Edens' resignation with "regret" Wednesday, then asked for and received the resignation of Dr. Paul M. Gross, vice president of the institution in the division of education.
Although neither Edens nor Gross has confirmed them, rumors of friction between the two men have circulated.
Theater Groups Attend Workshop
Ten Kansas towns with community theater projects will be represented at a one-day workshop on campus Saturday.
More than 125 persons will attend sessions on stage lighting, scenic design, directing and costuming, publicity and box office management sponsored by the University Theatre and University Extension.
Coffeyville, Topeka, EI Dorado, Ottawa, Junction City, Prairie Village, Hutchinson, Wichita, Colby and Salina each produce several shows a year.
Tom Rea, speech and drama instructor and director of the Kansas Community Theater Plan, is in charge of the workshop.
Trustee Vice Chairman Richard E. Thigpen of Charlotte said the board looked upon Dr. Edens' resignation, announced last month, as a "gracious removal of one side of an intolerable situation." He added that the situation required "the other party (Gross) to step aside in order to restore balance to the university community."
Edens was serving with the Rockefeller Foundation when he was named president 11 years ago. He had served earlier in administrative posts at the University of Georgia in Athens, Ga., and Emory University in Atlanta.
Gross came to the campus in 1919 when it was Trinity College and was named professor of chemistry in 1925. a post he will keep. He was named vice president in 1949, the same year he was chosen to head the Institute of Nuclear Studies at Oak Ridge. Tenn.
A five-member committee, composed of three trustees and two faculty members, held its first meeting Wednesday and made plans for choosing a successor to Dr. Edens. He will remain in his post until a new president is ready to assume his duties.
