 Description: The regular annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10 a.m., with the following members present: Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott, Williams, Walker and President Alderman. It is my sad duty to announce to the faculty and students of the University the death of Professor Charles Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated to the University of Virginia toward its program of research in the Social Sciences. I shall present this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall at that time convey their expression, as the Governing Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally assure you of my own profound sense of obligation to you for the patient thought you have given to the matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry out the work which this money is intended to promote, with the very highest desire to have the exact thing that the Board intends to get done in our American life. At a meeting of the committee representing the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously voted to offer to the University the support of a Research Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise $4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair. We decided to specify history because we feel that it will make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary to establishing this Chair with the authorities of the University.
