Accordingly, the Pub­ lications Committee, chaired by James Morrison, was charged with conducting a search for a new Editor. Joining Jim Morrison on this committee were Mary Corcoran, Arthur Chickering, Philip Altbach, Larry Leslie, Robert Silverman, Mike Olivas, Helen Warren, Robert Blackburn, Cameron Fincher, and Jonathan Fife. Originally, twelve colleagues responded to the call for nominations for Editor. Five withdrew their names leaving seven candidates to be seriously considered by the committee. The Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved Dr. John C. Smart of the University of Kentucky as the new Editor of the RHE for a three-year term. The responsibility for the RHE ends for Sam Kellams with this issue. The fall issue (Vol. 4, #1) will be handled by John Smart.
