THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE COLLEGE OF ARMS OF THE SCA INC.

31 May, 1975 CE

On the Matter of Angus the Black: see attached letters.

It is the intention of the present Lord Laurel to relinquish the Post on or about 31 July, 1975 at a minimum, and by 31 August 1975 at ma[x]imum.

We do therefore request the four Kingdom Heralds to each submit a nomination for the post, together with a list of qualifications.

We further request the College to hold all device applications until after the transfer of authority has taken place, in order that the present Lord Laurel may get the rest of the business of the College in order (Including cleaning up the Files... man-eating things that they are...)

The Marshal of the SCA is directed to prepare, immediately, a report concerning the reason why the Mar[s]hal-Designate of the East has not been confirmed. The Board is getting Brutal about that... which is part of the reason the present Lord Laurel can take no more... and would greatly appreciate communication on the matter fron the Marshal of the Society.

In regards to the request of the Lord Aten: it is permitted for Lords and Ladies of State, Great only, to display their Arms of Office impaled, to dexter, with their own Arms to sinister.

There were no devices to be acted upon this month.

We remain, for the nonce:
