Company the land on which the University's coal
trestle and track are located, and the proposed agreement

operation for some years, granting an automatic increase
of ten per cent in the salary of those professors who have
served for a term of six years has been suspended for the
coming year. The committee appointed to consider ways
and means for teaching Chemistry next session reported
to you that part of the new chemical laboratory would have

adopted since the fire was an utterly impossible situation,

(Resolved, That the General Faculty recommends to the
Rector and Board of Visitors that one or more units of the
R. O. T. C. be established at the University of Virginia.) If the State Board of Health will establish and maintain
a Tuberculosis Sanatorium sufficiently close to the Medical
School of the University of Virginia for effective cooperation,
and if the State Board of Health will permit the Medical
Director of the Sanatorium to teach the problems of tuberculosis
to the students and nurses of the medical department of the
University, and for this purpose use such patients in the sanatorium
as may seem suitable to the Medical Director; the Medical
School of the University will on its part affiliate with the
sanatorium, and promote the work of the sanatorium in so far
as such promotion and affiliation is compatible with the other
objects and duties of the Medical School and the University
Hospital. | | Similar Items: | Find |

on the above date at 10 o'clock A. M. in the office of the
President. There were present R. Tate Irvine, Rector, and
Visitors Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, Geo. R. B. Michis,
Alexander F. Robertson, C. Harding Walker, and the President. The special committee appointed at the meeting
of the Rector and Visitors October 14, 1919, to consider
the question of increase of salaries of the
professors, associate professors, adjunct professors and
administrative officers met on this date at 8 o'clock
P.M. in the office of the President. There were present
the President, and Messrs. Irvine, Hart, Walker and
Michie. Visitors Robertson and Hatton were present by
invitation of the committee. The professors of the University of Virginia, in
special conference assembled, desire to call your attention
to the following facts, too well known to require
argument: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of a preamble and
resolutions presented to me on November 3rd and again
signed on November 5th by a committee representing a conference
of the gentlemen of the faculties of the University.
I need hardly say that I am in enthusiastic accord
with the general purport of these resolutions both as regards
the substantial increase of salaries and the
policy of not attempting further new expansion in the
University until a just and adequate salary arrangement
for the present staff is attained. The purpose to bring
about this increase is the most steadfast purpose in my
mind, and has been all along for twelve years as I have
seen the staff increase from twenty-eight to seventy-eight
by process of promotion rather than succession,
and particularly since last April when with then no certainty
of surplus funds I recommended and the Board added some
$8000 to be appropriated for salary increases. I shall,
therefore, both as your colleague and as a member of a
committee appointed by the Board for the purpose, give to
these resolutions my most earnest and sympathetic consideration,
and I shall take pains to see that the committee
of the Board and the Board itself see and consider
them. I confess to some disquiet and some unhappiness
in the matter. Naturally, I would desire not only to
support but to lead in a movement to grant a petition
containing so much of justice and signed by so many
thoughtful and unselfish men. I am determined whether
the Legislature grants the request contained in the
budget or any part of it or none of it, to recommend with
insistence that a new salary basis of 25% increase be
entered upon here this year effective for the current
session, and it is my judgment that the Rector and Visitors
also hold this purpose quite definitely, though,
of course, I have no authority to forecast their action.
With me the necessity for such action is a matter of
supreme educational policy. | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 9 a.m., with the following members present:
the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart,
Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent
and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life. | | Similar Items: | Find |

as to the University's use of water from the City's
Reservoirs, and the of payment therefor, respectfully
report— On behalf of the Chairman of the Finance Committee,
I beg to submit the following report on sale of land in
Colorado and Kansas bequeathed to the University by Miss
Este Coffinberry for the establishment of the John W.
Richard Lectureship in Religion. Report of Building Committee. At the meeting of the Board of Visitors held in
April, 1927, a resolution was adopted directing the
Attorney for the University to make settlement with the
Estate of Graham F. Blandy, and with Mrs. Blandy, of certain
accounts due to said Estate and to Mrs. Blandy by the
University for work done upon the Blandy Experimental
Farm by Mrs. Blandy's laborers and by the Estate of

Blandy and by said Estate to the Experimental Farm in
the operation and maintenance of said Farm from March
25, th, 1926, the date of Mr. Blandy's death to August
1st, 1926, the date when the University took possession
of the property. Said resolution directs the Attorney
to make settlement of this account, providing the total
of said account did not exceed the sum of $1600.00. | | Similar Items: | Find |

10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M., with intermission for lunch, followed by a
session on the morning of the 12th which convened at 9:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees
of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers
presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of
the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's
cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical
and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums
now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required
eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry,
physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning
with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the
University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums
for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years
the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure
of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed
dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for
the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be
and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in
location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of
$103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the
State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the
Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds
were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of
course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a
lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety. | | Similar Items: | Find |
