on this date at 9 a.m., with the following members present:
the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart,
Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent
and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

above date at 8 o'clock P. M., being continued at 9:30
A. M. November 12th. Your Committee, directed at the June, 1927,
meeting to effect a settlement with the City of
Charlottesville of certain questions which have arisen
as to the University's use of water from the City's
Reservoirs, and the of payment therefor, respectfully
report— On behalf of the Chairman of the Finance Committee,
I beg to submit the following report on sale of land in
Colorado and Kansas bequeathed to the University by Miss
Este Coffinberry for the establishment of the John W.
Richard Lectureship in Religion. Report of Building Committee. At the meeting of the Board of Visitors held in
April, 1927, a resolution was adopted directing the
Attorney for the University to make settlement with the
Estate of Graham F. Blandy, and with Mrs. Blandy, of certain
accounts due to said Estate and to Mrs. Blandy by the
University for work done upon the Blandy Experimental
Farm by Mrs. Blandy's laborers and by the Estate of
Graham F. Blandy, and for materials furnished by Mrs.
Blandy and by said Estate to the Experimental Farm in
the operation and maintenance of said Farm from March
25, th, 1926, the date of Mr. Blandy's death to August
1st, 1926, the date when the University took possession
of the property. Said resolution directs the Attorney

10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M., with intermission for lunch, followed by a
session on the morning of the 12th which convened at 9:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees
of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers
presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of
the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's
cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical
and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums
now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required
eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry,
physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning
with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the
University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums
for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years
the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure
of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed
dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for
the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be
and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in
location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of
$103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the
State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the
Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds
were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of
course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a
lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

estate, and stated that the final settlement of this estate shows the
corpus of the trust fund set aside by the will of Graham F. Blandy,
deceased, from which his widow is to receive the income during her lifetime,
and which passes to the University at her death, amounts to $971,486.12. I beg to enclose herewith copy of final decree which has been
entered in the Circuit Court of Clarke County in the Chancery Cause of
Georgette H. Blandy v. The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia. You will observe that this decree finally determines the fact
that the University of Virginia has complied with all the conditions
specified in the will of Graham F. Blandy as conditions precedent to the
vesting of title in The Rector and Visitors of the University in the land
devised to the University by the will of Graham F. Blandy, deceased. The dormitories and academic building have been let to contract
