 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this date at 9:30 o'clock A. M., with the following members present: The Rector, Mr. Irvine, and Visitors Bryan, Hatton, Michie, Walker, Dillard, Robertson and Hart, and President Alderman. Concerning the proposition of the C. & A. Ry. Co. for connecting with the University plant, we recommend the following: Under date of May 28, a communication was received from the Office of the Surgeon General of the Army requesting all medical schools which can possibly do so to begin the session 1918-1919 for fourth year medical students not later than July 1, so that the Class of 1919 may be graduated by the end of February or early in March 1919. This measure is to help meet the extraordinary demand for medical officers for the Army which is sure to come within the next year or so. I am empowered and directed by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to convey to you the deep appreciation and gratitude of the University for the commemorative tablet in honor of James Rogers McConnell, an old student of this Institution who gave his life for France. This tablet shall be set up in a conspicuous place upon the walls of this University, and shall serve as a tie to bind together in everlasting affection and memory the two great nations now struggling to protect the freedom of mankind against a menace of tyranny and oppression. I would like to submit for your approval and that of the Board assembled, the enclosed plan of an endowment fund to be raised in the future for the Medical School of the University, and in beloved commemoration of the late Richard Henry Whitehead. The plan is that of the Graduating Class in Medicine, with a view to extending it to the alumni and also the future classes in Medicine. In recognition of our great indebtedness to the University of Virginia for our training in Medicine, and in beloved commemoration of Richard Henry Whitehead, we, the undersigned, do hereby pledge ourselves to give at some time to the Medical School one thousand dollars each, or as much as our financial status shall allow, toward the establishment of an endowment fund to be called by the above title.

On behalf of the Beverley Club of Staunton, Va., of which he was a charter member and its first President, in 1890, I have the pleasure of presenting to the University of Virginia an oil portrait of Mr. Armistead C. Gordon, the University's late Rector. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 19th inst. informing me of the purpose of the Beverley Club, of Staunton, to present to the University of Virginia an oil portrait of the University's late Rector, Hon. Armistead C. Gordon. I note also the request that this portrait be hung on the walls of the Colonnade Club. As an Alumnus of the University may I ask your kind assistance in placing in the proper hands a small contribution to the Permanent Endowment Fund of the Institution. I enclose for this purpose a Liberty Bond for five hundred dollars and shall be greatly obliged to you for your compliance with my request. The fall meeting of the Rector and Visitors of the University occurred here on November 26th. I had the honor of presenting your letter of last July, in which you so generously and graciously give to the permanent endowment fund of the University the Libert Bond # 665635. The Rector and Visitors directed me to extend to you their very grateful thanks and appreciation of this splendid action, and to assure you of their purpose to use this money in the permanent endowment of the University for the best interests of the Institution. I must again express my appreciation of the peculiarly handsome way in which you have done this good deed. The will of Elizabeth B. White, who died in Baltimore on November 13th, 1917, provides in paragraph three of item number one that the sum of Five Thousand Dollars be given to the University of Virginia for the establishment of scholarships to be known as the ELIZABETH B. GARRETT SCHOLARSHIPS. Be it Resolved by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, THAT the legacy of Elizabeth B. White of $5000 to found the Elizabeth B. Garrett Scholarships at the University of Virginia be and the same is hereby gratefully accepted upon the terms and conditions as set forth in her will. From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia: From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia; Major Frederick Waugh Smith notified his brother, Col. Thomas Smith, and the University of Virginia that he intended to contest the will on the grounds of the uncertainty of its provisions, but at the same time he made a proposition of compromise. On November 18th, 1910 you kindly granted permission to the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway Company, of Charlottesville, Virginia, a corporation duly chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, to lay its track along the terrace west of what is known as Rugby Road, from the Ivy Road on the South to the C. & O. overhead bridge on the North, distance of 1050 feet: to be laid under the general supervision and direction of the President and Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings of the University of Virginia, and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of our Board, with the condition that the track and works of the company be removed at their own expense on 60 days notice from the Board, at the pleasure of the Board. This is to advise you that my recent examination of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1918, disclosed no irregularities of any kind, but on the other hand, your records were found to be correct.
