Abstract

BIRMINGHAM.-The pro-chancellor (Mr. Walter Barrow) and the deputy pro-chancellor (Alderman John Henry Lloyd) have recently resigned their posts. Mr. Edmund Phipson Beale is to be nominated as pro-chancellor. Mr. Beale has been on the University Council since 1923 and became treasurer in 1930. He is a son of the first vice-chancellor, Mr. Charles Gabriel Beale, who was appointed when the University was founded. (The title ‘vice-chancellor’ was, some years ago, replaced by that, of ‘pro-chancellor’, the former having devolved upon the officer originally called ‘principal’.) Alderman Lloyd will still remain on the Council as a representative of the City Council.
