Vanderbilt Board of Trust repudiates Methodist church
Vanderbilt University board rejects seating three Methodist Conference appointees to fill board vacancies by a 19 to 8 vote. Eight new trustees were elected, including Judge Claude Waller and Bishop W. R. Lambuth, while the board rescinded its bylaw requiring Board of Education confirmation. The episode signals a push toward a self perpetuating board and potential church conflicts ahead.
