meeting at 10.00 A.M. on this date in the Office of the Chancellor of Mary
Washington College, at Fredericksburg, with the following present. The Rector,
Frank Talbott, Jr.; President Colgate W. Darden, Jr.; Chancellor Grellet C.
Simpson, and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gravatt, Gray, Greear,
Hartfield, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler.
Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, was present during the
discussion of the College budget. I have your letter of March 28, 1957, requesting my opinion in
regard to the above captioned matter, and I have given careful
consideration to the correspondence enclosed therewith. It is my
understanding, however, that the University is not interested in the
arguments as to whether or not the J.A.G. School will have to obtain
and pay for a license to dispense beer, but is interested in whether
or not it can legally consent to the issuance of such license for
sale of beer on University property. My opinion will therefore be
confined to that point. Board of Visitors' action on the attached indenture is in order,
and I suggest that the Board consider a motion to instruct its
Secretary to communicate to Mr. Edward S. Handy, in care of Mr. Junius
Fishburne of the Peoples National Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia,
their satisfaction over, and acceptance of, the provisions of the deed. In further reference to our telephone conversation of a few days
ago in regard to the exchange of the University and Equitable Realty
Corporation, whereby Equitable Realty Corporation undertakes to convey
in fee simple to the University, a triangular piece of land lying along
the western boundary of the soccer field in exchange for a ninety-nine
(99) year lease from the University of another triangular parcel
adjoining the first, I am enclosing herewith a plat of the properties
to be exchanged, on which the property to be conveyed to the
University is designated as Parcel A and marked in blue, while the
parcel to be leased to Equitable Realty is designated Parcel B and
marked in red. At the direction of the Assembly of Professors of the University
of Virginia I have the pleasure to transmit to you herewith a resolution
passed by this body at a recent meeting. As you doubtless know this
body is composed of all members of the University faculty of
professorial rank. I am confident that the sentiments expressed in
this resolution accurately express the feelings of the University
faculty Word has reached the faculty of the Graduate School of Business
Administration that you have expressed the intention of resigning
from the presidency of the University within the next two years. At
a meeting of the faculty of the School held on February 27 it was
unanimously voted that I be instructed to write to you on behalf of
the faculty and respectfully ask you to reconsider such a decision
and remain in office for the full term of your office. We have just had a meeting of the law faculty at which concern
was again expressed about your consideration of resignation. I am
writing for myself and my colleagues, and at their direction, in saying
that this would be a great misfortune to the University and to us
personally. We heartily endorse the resolution of the Association of
Professors | | | Similar Items: | Find |
