NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF KNOX COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Pursuant to Article III of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, dated June 6,
2015, which is quoted in part below, notice is hereby given that a Special
Meeting of the Board of Trustees of Knox College will be held on *Wednesday,
July 8, 2015, by conference call at 11:00 a.m. CDT.*

Special meetings may be called by the Chair of the Board, or in the event
of his or her absence or disability, by the President of the College, and
shall be called by the President whenever a majority of the members of the
Executive Committee or any six Trustees shall so request; and in case of a
vacancy in the office of President, then such meetings shall be called by
the Secretary of the Board upon like request.  Special meetings may be
conducted either in person at such location as designated in the call or
through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment
by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other.  Participating in any meeting so conducted shall constitute
attendance and the equivalence of presence in person at the meeting of each
person so participating.

At all special meetings of the Board of Trustees, no business shall be
transacted except as specified in the call, except upon majority vote of
all members of the Board having the right to vote.

The call shall be signed by the Chair or President, as the case may be, and
the Secretary of the Board of Trustees, or by the Secretary alone when made
by him or her.  Not less than seven days shall intervene between the
issuance of the call and the time specified for the meeting.  Such notice
must be in writing and may be given by telegraph, facsimile, e-mail or
mail.  The requirement as to the time required for notice may be waived in
writing (including facsimile or e-mail) by two-thirds of the voting members
of the Board, and when so waived, the meeting so held shall be regularly
constituted.

Informal Action:  Any action required to, or which may, be taken at a
meeting of the Board of Trustees may be taken without a meeting if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed
by all General, Alumni and *ex officio* Trustees.  Such written consent may
be transmitted electronically.

Proxy Voting:  A member of the Board of Trustees entitled to vote at a
special meeting of the Board may vote by proxy, if that proxy is executed
in writing by the Trustee and is transmitted to the Chair of the
Board.  Proxies
may be transmitted electronically.  No proxy voting shall be permitted at
regular meetings of the Board.
