The College song from 1934. ------~ After discussion the Board determined that the committee's recommendations should "be acted upon seriatim," that is, one after another in a series. Recommendation one was then approved with no discussion. Recommendation two, that McChesney be dismissed as president and transferred to the faculty, was discussed heatedly. The Board was divided and McChesney sat in stunned silence as the trustees argued his fate. He did not utter a single word in his own defense. Finally, Board Chairman John Orr called for a "rising vote on the adoption or rejection of recommendation number two." Those in favor of firing the president stood. McChesney sat in silence as trustee after trustee stood. Five voted for dismissal. Now those in favor of retaining their president stood. Though he could have voted, McChesney remained seated, but six others rose in his behalf. Thus, by the narrow measure of 6 to 5, McChesney's presidency was continued. 12 But the division on the Board was obvious, and the implications serious. Next, the Board unanimously adopted recommendation number three, which in effect dismissed McChesney and Jurkat from the Board of Trustees. Immediately, however, Dr. David McKinney, the former president, stood to his feet and moved that the president and treasurer of the college be ex-officio members of the Board. This motion was also approved. On committee recommendation number four, Dr. McKinney again intervened and modified the motion to remove the treasurer as follows: "That some suitable trust company be made treasurer of the Endowment Fund and I that a separate treasurer be elected for current funds." McKinney's modification of recommendation four was also approved. In light of their earlier action to retain McChesney, the Board then rejected recommendation five, and on the motion of Dr. McKinney the secretary of the Board was instructed to communicate the action to the dissident alumni group.13 Having weathered this challenge to his leadership, McChesney was authorized to pursue the matter of re-association with the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and given full authority to develop the financial campaign for $750,000. His presidency had been preserved, but the financial crisis remained, as did the scars of that meeting. When the Board held its annual meeting two months later, they adopted a series of Chapter lX/73
