Reade was an officer and president from 1942-44. Correspondence on accreditation, Oglethorpe College; group decided not to have annual meetings during WWII. "Personally, I feel we would all do a lot better if we stayed at home and tried to solve some of our own problems, rather than all meeting somewhere and hearing some fellow make a speech about his problems."--FRR, 11/2/42. On faculty: "Now that the University System teachers are paying city, county, state, federal, war, and every other tax known to man, they seem to feel that they ought to have some sort of security for what almost certainly is going to be a penniless old age for all of them."--FRR, 1/17/42.
