President; present, the Rector R. Gray Williams, and Visitors Lewis C. Williams, Hollis Rinehart, Jas. H. Cort
Christopher B. Garnett, C. O'Conor Goolrick, and Dabney S. Lancaster, and President Newcomb. Pursuant to your resolution of October 3, 1942, your Hearing Board, appointed in
accordance with your resolution, met on October 23, 1942, at the Colonnade Club at
the University, elected a Chairman, and had a general discussion of the subject under
consideration. Upon the call of the Chairman, your Board met at Madison Hall at the
University, at 10.30 A. M., November 30, 1942, after public notice had been given
that all interested persons were invited to attend and make statements. No interested
persons appeared, so, at the suggestion of some of the members, the heads of all the
student departments and the Student Senate were invited to appear and make statements.
During the afternoon session, most of those invited did appear and make statements,
as did several others. The Committee then adjourned to meet in Madison Hall at 10:30
A. M., December 12th. Similar public notice of this meeting was given, with an invitation
to all interested persons to appear and make statements. Notice of this
meeting was also given by the Chairman to the Governor of Virginia, with an invitation
to him to be present or to furnish the Board with any statement or information which
he thought it should consider. The Governor expressed his appreciation of this invitation,
which he declined, stating that he had recently met with your Committee,
composed of Messrs. Stettinius, Corbitt and Williams, and expressed generally his views
in reference to the matters under consideration. At this meeting of the Board, a
number of interested persons appeared and made statements. Before its adjournment,
the Board heard all person who appeared and expressed a desire to be heard. All
statements made at Board meetings were stenographically transcribed, and a transcript
of all statements made is filled herewith. As will appear from the transcript,
no person appeared and advocated the abolition of the practice of students living in
fraternity houses. As it appeared that full notice had been given to the public,
and that all persons who wished to appear and make statements had been heard, your
Board did not deem it necessary to hold further public hearings. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
