University of Virginia was held on this date in the Office of the President of the University,
at Charlottesville, with the following present. The Rector, Barron F. Black, President
Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Visitors Barksdale, Coxe, Dunn, Gray, Mears, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith,
Talbott, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Emmett, Gravatt, Howard, and McWane At the June meeting I was requested to furnish the Board with a
list of vacant lots and lands owned by the University As you know, both Mr. Woodward and I have been concerned about the number
of students who apply for admission, pay the ten-dollar application fee, are
accepted and assigned a dormitory room, and cancel at the last minute or just
fail to appear. Apparently the forfeiture of a ten-dollar application fee is
not much of a deterrent. Many of these students have made application elsewhere
and are simply holding the space here as something to fall back on if they should
not be admitted to the institution of their first choice. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
