of The Rector, in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with the
following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Chancellor
Grellet C. Simpson, Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Howard,
Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Gravatt and Mr.
Smith. The University's Special Counsel, Mr. C. Venable Minor, was present during a portion of
the meeting and participated in discussions of the real estate transactions at Fredericksburg,
Falls Church, and Clinch Valley as outlined below. The present R.O.T.C. units at the University of Virginia, starting with the
Navy in 1940, have been organized at the request of the University. The enrollment
in these units is covered by public law. Enrollment is entirely voluntary. (This
is not the case at the so-called land grant colleges and universities). The first
two years (first year only for the Naval ROTC Regulars) a member may withdraw at
his own request. Approval of the resignation is accomplished at the Unit Command
level. Starting with the third year, ROTC members receive subsistence
compensation, and approval of the resignation can only be made at Departmental
(or delegated) level. At a meeting of the Nursing School Advisory Committee, with all members present
this morning, it was unanimously agreed that the plan of reorganization of the
Department of Nursing as a separate School of Nursing with the arrangements which we
have discussed previously, be recommended to you and to the Board of Visitors. To be
more specific, we should like to recommend that the Department of Nursing become The
University of Virginia School of Nursing, with a separate dean and with full academic
status as a separate school within the University. It would be understood that in
academic matters the School of Nursing would have complete autonomy, but that in
administrative matters effecting the Medical Center, the Dean of the School of
Nursing would answer to the Director of the Medical Center (the Dean of the Medical
School). Pursuant to their appointment by this Board in June, 1956, as its committee to
study the question of where the Northern Virginia branch of the University should be
located, the undersigned, as a first step in their inquiry, held a public hearing in
Alexandria on July 21, after issuing special invitations to the members of the General
Assembly in the area and the authorities of the several political subdivisions, as
well as general invitations through the press to the interested public, to attend and
assist the committee by giving it their views and such information as they thought might
be helpful. Thereafter the committee personally investigated the sites suggested,
interviewed those persons having particular knowledge of the different tracts, made
measurements of the time and distance of the several locations from the populous areas
and from the rural sections to be served, and considered the availability thereto of
public transportation, sewerage facilities, and water supplies as well as the
accessibility of the property by highway, and their situation with respect to the high
schools in Northern Virginia. I am writing you relative to the proposed plan for the construction of a new
dormitory housing approximately 176 students for which we have an appropriation
of $192,500.00. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
