 Description: The Board met on this date in special session, at eight P. M. and continued on the following morning at nine-thirty. There were present Visitors H. D. Dillard, W. R. Duke, Paul Goodloe McIntire, Miss. Emily McVea, Walter T. Oliver, F. W. Scott, C. Harding Walker, Lewis C. Williams and President Alderman. On behalf of the donors, I have the privilege of presenting to the Rector and Visitors a portrait of the first President of the University of Virginia. It is the work of Eugene Speicher, of New York, a noted artist and portrait painter. The portrait is the joint gift of many alumni, members of the faculty, and other friends of the President and of the University. I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter, in which you announce the presentation to the Rector and Visitors, by a joint group of alumni, members of the faculty, and friends of the University and of the President, a portrait of the first President of the University of Virginia. Please find attached hereto a petition signed by sixteen of your professors living north of the University who request that we build a small waiting room at the end of our car line on Rugby Road, near the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. My mother, sisters, brother and myself are planning to make a contribution to the Centennial Endowment Fund, which we wish to take the shape of a memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White. It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection with the Law School. As we do not know how it could be best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion from you. The fund will be available early in May and will be about $10,000.00. I have your letter of the 7th inst., and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father. It so happened that we served together on the Board of Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming. Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential. Please find enclosed the following checks: The Trustees of the Austin Estate held for a number of years a mortgage from the heirs of Elizabeth C. Blackbird. A year ago last December the mortgage was paid off and we executed a discharge of the same. The Carnegie Corporation has upon its books an appropriation of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($1000,000) to the University of Virginia on which it is at present paying interest, all conditions in connection therewith having been fulfilled by the University of Virginia. If satisfactory to you, the Corporation will find it convenient to pay this amount in cash on June thirtieth, together with the regular quarterly payment of interest. I am sending you this advance notice in order that you may make what arrangements are necessary for the disposition of the funds. I have your communication of the 6th inst., informing me that on June 30, the Corporation will find it convenient to pay the amount of $100,000 to the University of Virginia together with the regular quarterly payment of interest. Confirming our conversation of this morning:The Chi Phi Fraternity would like to lease for the purposes of building a fraternity house, a plot of land on Rugby Road between The Gymnasium and the Kappa Sigma house. Please refer to our letter of May 31st in which we ask for a lease to a certain piece of land for the use of the Chi Phi Fraternity:-

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date with the following members present: I have made very careful study of the cost of heating to the University from the new central station with a view to making recommendation as to a fair distribution of charges for heat. In reference to E. W. James Estate Income I wish to express however haltingly - my deep appreciation of the generous kindness you have shown me during my illness, - a kindness which has made my sickness much more tolerable and my recovery more certain and complete. When our Board of School Trustees decided recently to erect a school for the colored population of this place the most suitable site was found to be on the land now owned by Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner. We asked Mr. Chaloner to donate ten acres of land for this purpose. Mr. Chaloner considered the matter carefully and decided he wanted to doit because of his love for the people of Roanoke Rapids and his desire to do something for the colored people of this section. He explained, however, that he had made a deed of this land to the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia but that he thought since he was to have the use of this land during his lifetime that there would be no difficulty in conveying in fee simple to our School Board. He suggested that we have our lawyer investigate the case which has been done. Our attorney advises that the most suitable way to convey this land is to have a deed signed jointly by Mr. Chaloner and the proper authorities from the two universities. I have just written Dr. Chase to determine whether the University of North Carolina would be willing to join with the University of Virginia in making the deed. We asked for ten acres because we thought that was the smallest part we could get along with. Knowing your spirit and interest in the cause of education I feel that you will understand our position and that there will be little difficulty in getting the proper acceptance of this arrangement.
