Further, I do solemnly and sincerely swear that: I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the State of North Carolina, and to the constitutional powers and authorities which are or may be established for the government thereof; and that I will endeavor to support maintain, and defend the Constitution of said State, not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, to the best my knowledge and ability; so help me God.

Mr. Abbott then announced that the bylaws provide for election of officers at the first meeting of the Board after June 30 of each year and for the past chairman to preside until new officers are elected. He then declared the Board in executive session for the election of officers.   Open Meeting Act

Dr. Carlton then introduced Mrs. Carlton and the faculty and staff members present to the Trustees. He presented the second draft of the revised bylaws to the trustees for their consideration and adoption at a later meeting.

Mr. Glenn requested that a year's schedule of meetings be established and be available to the trustees as soon as possible.

There was no other business to be considered, and the meeting was adjourned for campus tours and lunch
