office of President Newcomb. There were present the Rector, Visitors Barksdale, Willis, Garnett,
Black, Gay, Bustard, Calcott, Wailes, Carrington, Miller, Dr. Trout, President Newcomb, and
President Combs. If I am alive on December 18, 1946, I shall have reached my sixty-fifth
birthday, and therefore will be eligible for a minimum retiring allowance. Your letter of September 9th advising me of your desire to retire as
President of the University of Virginia on or soon after your sixty-fifth
birthday has just reached me. The minutes of the regular monthly meeting of the Board held on July 12, 1946, contained the following: At a prior meeting of the Board the offer of Dr. Reichel to sell to the Mary Washington College certain
furniture and furnishings in his house, enumerated in an inventory at $26,000, was communicated to the
Board and the Board authorized your Committee to have the property appraised. In accordance therewith
the Chairman employed Mark McK. Sloan and Fairfax Edelen, of C. G. Sloan & Co., Inc. to make the
appraisal. Before the appraisal was made, however, Dr. Reichel withdrew his offer to sell the property
enumerated in his list, with the exception of certain marked items, and offered to sell the property in
the marked items at $5,600. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
