 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this date at three o'clock in the Administration Building. After consideration of the petition of the University Cemetery Endowment Association, and the estimate of the costs of the proposed addition, by the Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, the Executive Committee recommends the passage of the following resolutions: Some time after the return of President Alderman, the Bursar, at the suggestion of the President, consulted the Chairman of the Executive Committee, as to what compensation the Dean of the University should receive. Since July, Dr. Page had been receiving the regular salary of a full professor, $3,300.00 and a house; $350.00 as Dean, and $1,500 as acting President during Dr. Alderman's absence,—a total of $5150.00 and a house. After Dr. Alderman's return the Bursar was uncertain of his authority to continue paying Dr. Page as acting president. He asked advice of the President, who referred him to the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The latter corresponded with the other members of the committee, but it was decided to defer action until the meeting of the Board of Visitors. Since November the 1st, the payment of the salary of $1500.00 as acting president has been discontinued.

 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this date at 2 o'cl p.m., with the following members present: Armistead C. Gordon, Recto Goodrich Hatton, J. W. Craddock, G.R.B. Michie and Dr. W. F. Drewry. President Alderman was also in attendance. The President announced the following gifts to the University: I am writing for my Aunt to enclose her check for Ten Thousand Dollars. She would like this gift to be a continuation of her former gift for the gate to be used for the improvement of the roads, and in memory of Mr. Senff. I am very, very sorry that you cannot be with me on Founder's Day, but I shall count most confidently on having you in my home as my guest to see this place before many months have gone by. Mr. Langhorne, of course, will want you, but you must be with me for some portion of your time here. I have just received and read with great happiness and satisfaction your letter of March 23. I feel sure that I can with entire propriety and satisfaction treat the arrangement you suggest as a donation of $50,000, and will be most happy so to do. It would be difficult for me to tell you how much real strength and helpfulness you are giving to the University of Virginia by this gift, supplying, as it will undoubtedly do, a need so urgent and acute that I have been at my wit's end to know what to do to care for it. I am very glad to learn by your letter of March 27th that my proposition to make the donation of $50,000. in the form of a check for $25,000. and my note for the same amount due and payable on or before January 5th, 1916, is satisfactory to you. About the 7th or 8th of April I will send the check and note on to you. In the meantime I will be glad if you will write me whether the whole of the gift will likely be used for a single building and what part, if any, will be used for laboratory equipment. I am, of course, greatly pleased at the thought of being helpful to the University at a time when its need is urgent. I note by your letter of March 31st that the whole of my gift to the University will be applied to a laboratory for chemistry. This is entirely agreeable to me and I think now I shall, within two or three days, send you my check for $50,000. instead of a check for $25,000. and a note for the same amount. In compliance with my recent promise to you I take pleasure in enclosing herewith my check # 66, on Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, to your order, for $50,000. This is a gift outright to the University of Virginia. I understand it is your purpose to use the proceeds of this check towards the erection of a building for a chemical laboratory. In the purpose for which the donation is to be used, in the fact that the donation is to the University of Virginia, in the certainty that a large part of such benefits as will come from the gift will go to the South, my most earnest desires are fully met and under such conditions I feel it a privilege to be able to make the donation. My original plan was to make this gift on the occasion of your return to the University last fall from your long illness but the War interfered with my intentions. Your unselfish spirit will, I know, excuse the delay. As Secretary of the Board of Trustees under the deed of the late Samuel Miller I am directed to say that at a meeting of the Board held this morning Mr. Ivey F. Lewis, of the University of Missouri was unanimously nominated to the Board of Visitors to fill the Chair made vacant by the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle in the School established under the provisions of the deed of Samuel Miller. I am directed by the Board to request you to lay this nomination before the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia for their action. RESOLVED: That this Board will at its June, 1915 meeting make appropriation of the fund at its disposal, and in making the nomination for the Chair made vacant by the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle it is the sense of this Board that the Department of which the newly nominated Professor is to be the head if elected by the Board of Visitors - should be reorganized by the latter Board so as to carry out as far as practicable with the fund available, the purposes of Mr. Miller, and that this Board will hereafter proceed to appropriate the entire net income of the Miller Fund to the support of the department of which the new professor is to be the head. Some eight years ago, I notified the University that in drafting my will I had inserted a clause bequeathing it the sum of thirty thousand (30,000) dollars; the purpose of the gift being the erection of a teaching building on the grounds of the University; and that I had made this bequest in response to a feeling of deep gratitude to the University for the inestimable service it did for me during my student days of long ago. I have your letter of April 3rd and thank you for the kind expressions, &c. By an instrument in writing purporting to be a deed, and dated May 10th, 1912, John Armstrong Chaloner states that thereby he conveys certain real estate situated at Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina, to the University of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina, jointly, reserving to himself a life estate therein; and this instrument is recorded in the Clerk's Office of Albemarle County, Virginia, in Deed Book 150, page 136. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors was held on this date with the following present: Armistead C. Gordon, Rector, Goodrich Hatton, R. Tate Irvine, John W. Craddock, Wm. H. White, G. B. R. Michie, Dr. W. F. Drewry, Walter Tansill Oliver and Dr. Frank W. Lewis. I want to donate one thousand dollars to the University because of my loyalty to her, and for what she stands and has done - not that that sum is the measure of my estimate of her worth or my admiration. I learn from the Bursar that the new schedule of fees in Engineering announced in the catalogue will have to receive your formal approval and be validated by action of the Board of Visitors before it is put into force. A special Committee of three appointed by the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association to consider, with power to act, the question of financing the Secretary of the Alumni Association and his office, begs leave to announce to the Board of Visitors that it has decided to recommend to the Alumni Association that it guarantee the sum of $2500.00 yearly for three years, which with the $1500.00 a year appropriated by the Board of Visitors for the same purpose and which we assume will be continued, will make $4000.00 a year, the sum estimated sufficient to conduct this important work.
