Ex School Board Chief Left Erroneous Air in 1960
Three Oberlin school board members accuse former president Elbridge P. Vance of creating erroneous impressions about why his seat was declared vacant. Vance, an Oberlin College geology professor, says he offered to resign or remain away until his return from a yearlong college leave. The board says he would only resign if they accepted his replacement choice, and that a stalemate led to declaring vacancy after Vance’s absences in 1960. The board notes they acted in good faith under Ohio law and appoint Kilmer to fill the seat. Members Chamberlain Cowling Hoover defend their action. Kilmer’s term runs to December. other candidates seek reelection or first terms.
