DR. Mullins acceptance has been assured
and his election was the unanimous ae-
ton OF the trustees. thirty-six of whom
were present The meeting was not open
to the public but the result was an
nounced as soon as it was over.
There was some discussion as to the au-
thority of the board to go into an elec-
ton at called meeting. The constitution
does not provide for a president of the
college at all. and only provides for the
election of professors at the annual meet
ing of the trustees the president being
elected as a professor. Il was decided
after fuI discussion, however, that all
the circumstances warranted the election
the trustees being a representative body
and it was held subject to confirmation
al the next annual meeting.
DR. Mullins is now pastor of one of the
leading Baptist churches In Boston He

tist Church, Baltimore and has also been

foreign mission board of the Southern
Baptist convention. He resigned
the last position, and is now
pastor of Newton Center Baptist
Church in Boston. and is also the chaplain
of the Newton Theological Seminary, the
Oldest Baptist seminary in this country.
Dr. Mullins is 40' years old, and stands
six feet two inches high.
The Southern Baptist Theological Semi

eancy was caused in the Office of president
OF the institution some months ago by the
resignation of DR.. Whitsitt. A meeting
of the trustees was held in May and DR..
John p. Green was elected to the presi-
dency. DR.. Green, however, did not ac-
eept. and 1t became necessary to make
