 Description: An adjourned meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 o'clock p. m., with the following present: The Rector, Armistead C. Gordon, Visitors, Craddock, Hatton, Irvine, Lewis, Michie, Stearnes and Turnbull, and President Alderman. Miss Mary Amelia Smith of Warrenton, Virginia, by her last will and testament, recorded February 24th, 1913, in Will Book 47 at page 34 in Fauquier County Clerk's Office, Virginia, left all of her property of every kind and description for life to the brothers that survived her, of which there were only two, namely: Fred W. Smith and Col. Thomas Smith, and at their death all of said property both real and personal, was to go to the University of Virginia. Shortly after Miss Mary Amelia Smith's death, her brother, one of the above mentioned survivors, returned from South Africa and immediately began to take steps to break the will of sister Mary Amelia Smith, and thereby prevent University of Virginia from having any of her property. The effect of this provision is a two-fold one, (1) to create such a trust in the University, with reference to such `public animals, arms, uniforms, and equipment,' as is not contemplated by the organic law of the University, and for the assumption and execution of which there is no authority in the University, either express or implied: (2) the requirement that the University shall give "a bond in the value of the property issued for the care and safe-keeping thereof, and for its return when required," is in contravention of Section 1556 of the Code of Virginia, vol. 1, page 828, which provides that "it shall not be lawful for the Rector and Board of Visitors of the University to contract any debt whatever on account of said University, without the consent of the Legislature previously obtained." (Act 1883-1884, page 544.)

 Description: A called meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10:30 A. M., with the following members present: The Rector, Armistead C. Gordon, Goodrich Hatton, Judge Norton, Wm. H. White, G. R. B. Michie, John W. Craddock, R. Tate Irvine, Robert Turnbull, and President Alderman. I beg to report to your Board through you, that in June last the two committees of the Miller Board and the Board of Visitors of the University met at the Board of Visitors' House, and agreed that the status of the buildings on the grounds known as the "Mallet House", continue unchanged. Concerning the increased cost of labor and mechanics The Executors under the will of Colonel Payne are informed by Mr. Fuller that in or about the month of July, 1917, at the Colonel's country place at West Park, Colonel Payne told Mr. Fuller that in his will he had made a legacy of $250,000. to the University of Virginia, but that he had decided to give that sum presently, instead of waiting until death. Mr. Fuller further states that the next day Colonel Payne gave to you his check for $250,000. for the benefit of the University and said to you substantially what he had said to Mr. Fuller about the provision in his will and about his subsequent decision to make the gift presently.

 Description: A special meeting of the Board of Visitors was held on this date at 10:3- o'clock, with the following present: Rector Gordon and Visitors Craddock, Michie, Turnbull, Hatton and Walker, and President Alderman. I hereby lay before you, in the discharge of my duty as President of the University, a portion of an address made on November 20th at Sweet Briar College by Professor Leon R. Whipple, Adjunct Professor of Journalism in this University, and certain letters showing that it was the deliberate purpose of Professor Whipple, in his capacity as a professor of this University, to conduct a far-reaching propaganda for the promulgation of the sentiments therein expressed. I enclose an advance story on an address I shall make at Sweet Briar College tonight. I think it may be of interest in your territory as a Sweet Briar event, and also because of the larger interests involved. I hope you will find room for at least some of this as these principles cannot be too often enunciated. I response to your recent request to the Faculty of the University for changes in, or additions to, the list of subjects to be offered as free extension lectures, I desire to ask for the following changes: You are asked to dismiss me from the Faculty of the University of Virginia for uttering, publicly, the truth as revealed to my conscience. I am charged with acts that are declared not in accord with the purposes of this nation in the present war, and therefore, I can no longer be of service in this public institution, and am unfit to teach the youth who come to seek truth. Following my telegram twenty-fourth, Mrs. White wishes Dr. Alderman and the Board of Visitors to know that the newspaper account of Whipple's utterances have been read to Mr. White, and also Senator Martin's comments upon same. Mr. White heartily endorses the matter. Greatly regret engagement here prevents my attending Board meeting tomorrow. Assuming object is to consider Whipple, not wishing to condemn without hearing, but based on correctness of reports, my voice is for summary dismissal. Jefferson's University is not fit soil for seeds of treason. I have just received notice from Mr. Carruthers of a meeting of the Board called for to-morrow, Tuesday. Mr. Carruthers wired me Saturday, but I was out of town until this morning.

 Description: The regular annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10:30 A. M., with the following members present: Rector Gordon and Visitors Hatton, Irvine, Michie and White. Mr. Turnbull did not arrive until 5:30 P. M., just at the close of the meeting. President Alderman was present. Reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed with. I have been advised by the Bursar that the rule of the Board of Visitors, which has been in 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 to be furnished if the lectures in Chemistry and the courses in Analytical Chemistry are to be given at all. The makeshift adopted since the fire was an utterly impossible situation, and we are deprived of this by the closing of Peabody Hall next year.
