 Description: A called meeting of the Pector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 o'clock in the evening. There were present the Rector, R. Tate Irvine, and Visitors Goodrich Hatton, C. Harding Walker, John Stewart Bryan, George R. B. Michie, and Alexander F. Robertson. The minutes of the previous meeting, copies of which had been mailed to the several Visitors, were approved. At a meeting of the General Faculty held February 8, 1919, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: (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.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Rector and Visitors held on this date at 8 o'clock there were present the Rector, R. Tate Irvine, and Visitors John Stewart Bryan, H. D. Dillard, Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, G. R. B. Michie, and Alexander F. Robertson. I am sending you be registered mail (fully insured, for $102,000), a United States Certificate of Indebtedness No. 647 for $100,000. dated January 2, and due June 3, 1919, the interest of which amounts to $1,873.97 and my cheque for $48,126.03 and including the cheque for $5,000. that I handed you in Charlottesville makes a total of $155,000. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 14th. I have also received, by registered mail, the United States Certificate of Indebtedness No. 647 for $100,000. dated January 2, and due June 3, 1919, the interest of which amounts to $1,873.97. I have also received your check for $48,126.03. I have previously received from your hands a check for $5,000. The total of all these receipts, as you state in your letter, is $155,000. As the parents of the late Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., who graduated from the Law School of the University of Virginia in June, 1911, and who died in France on August 29, 1918 from wounds received in battle, it is our desire to erect some usefull and enduring memorial which will permanently associate his name with the University of Virginia, - his, as well as his father's, Alma Mater. This motive springs not alone from the promptings of parental affection for the memory of an only son, - and an only child, - but from the wish to give some outward expression to the love and loyalty that he cherished for the University. I have this day received your letter of the 28th inst., with the enclosure, giving so moving and interesting an account of the life and service of your son, Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. I have read with the greatest interest and approval the communication in which you give to the University of Virginia the sum of $10,000 to be known as the Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., donation, and to be used for the general purpose of the enrichment of the Law Library through the purchase of books and other accessories. I note, of course, the conditions of the use of the fund set forth so clearly by you, the wisdom of which I sincerely subscribe to. I can, in advance, accept for the Rector and Visitors this noble gift, and can, in advance, assure you of their profound gratification and appreciation of the great service you have done to the University and of their pride that so brave and noble a youth shall be here commemorated. My wife and I appreciate your kind letter of the 31st ult. I have written my kinsman, Prof. R. C. Minor, consenting to the publication of the sketch. Responding to your request for the expression of a further opinion in connection with the matter of the Oliver H. Payne bequest to the University, in view of supposed new evidence, I beg to submit as follows: Whereas Oliver H. Payne, late of the City of New York, died on the 27th day of June, 1917, leaving a Last Will and Testament dated the 7th day of September, 1915, and the same was thereafter duly admitted to probate by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York, and letters testamentary thereon were issued out of said court to the Executors named in said Will; and It was my intention and understanding in making the gift of $155,000. for the establishment of a School of Fine Arts, that $5,000. or as much thereof as might be necessary, should be used outright for the purchase of equipping the School of Art and Architecture.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held 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.
