State-Planters Bank were present from 10:10 to 11:00 to discuss the current

the plan which I discussed with you on December 24, for the widening of
Jefferson Park Avenue from its intersection with Main Street back to
the Hospital entrance. Enclosed is a copy of the proposal of the Committee on Private
Practice of the Clinical Staff of the Medical School. This proposal has
been reviewed by the Dean and approved by him, and I went over it
yesterday with Dr. Vest. You will recall that before you left for your trip around the
world I mentioned that the Committee on Contractual Relations was
considering a new type of insurance provided by the Teachers Insurance
and Annuity Association. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

meeting at 10.00 A.M. on this date in the Office of the Chancellor of Mary
Washington College, at Fredericksburg, with the following present. The Rector,
Frank Talbott, Jr.; President Colgate W. Darden, Jr.; Chancellor Grellet C.
Simpson, and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gravatt, Gray, Greear,
Hartfield, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler.
Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, was present during the
discussion of the College budget. I have your letter of March 28, 1957, requesting my opinion in
regard to the above captioned matter, and I have given careful
consideration to the correspondence enclosed therewith. It is my
understanding, however, that the University is not interested in the
arguments as to whether or not the J.A.G. School will have to obtain
and pay for a license to dispense beer, but is interested in whether
or not it can legally consent to the issuance of such license for
sale of beer on University property. My opinion will therefore be
confined to that point. Board of Visitors' action on the attached indenture is in order,
and I suggest that the Board consider a motion to instruct its
Secretary to communicate to Mr. Edward S. Handy, in care of Mr. Junius
Fishburne of the Peoples National Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia,
their satisfaction over, and acceptance of, the provisions of the deed. In further reference to our telephone conversation of a few days
ago in regard to the exchange of the University and Equitable Realty
Corporation, whereby Equitable Realty Corporation undertakes to convey
in fee simple to the University, a triangular piece of land lying along
the western boundary of the soccer field in exchange for a ninety-nine
(99) year lease from the University of another triangular parcel
adjoining the first, I am enclosing herewith a plat of the properties
to be exchanged, on which the property to be conveyed to the
University is designated as Parcel A and marked in blue, while the
parcel to be leased to Equitable Realty is designated Parcel B and
marked in red. At the direction of the Assembly of Professors of the University
of Virginia I have the pleasure to transmit to you herewith a resolution
passed by this body at a recent meeting. As you doubtless know this
body is composed of all members of the University faculty of
professorial rank. I am confident that the sentiments expressed in
this resolution accurately express the feelings of the University
faculty Word has reached the faculty of the Graduate School of Business
Administration that you have expressed the intention of resigning
from the presidency of the University within the next two years. At
a meeting of the faculty of the School held on February 27 it was
unanimously voted that I be instructed to write to you on behalf of
the faculty and respectfully ask you to reconsider such a decision
and remain in office for the full term of your office. We have just had a meeting of the law faculty at which concern
was again expressed about your consideration of resignation. I am
writing for myself and my colleagues, and at their direction, in saying
that this would be a great misfortune to the University and to us
personally. We heartily endorse the resolution of the Association of
Professors | | | Similar Items: | Find |

this date at 10:00 A.M. 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., and Visitors Berkeley, Coxe, Emmett, Hartfield,
Pollock, Mrs. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Bryan, Gravatt, Gray, Greear,
Jones, McWane, Martin, and Smith. Visitor (ex officio) Paschall again unavoidably
absent, has not yet taken his seat upon the Board. I had been looking forward to having an opportunity to come to the
University this fall and to discuss with you the John Langbourne Williams
Memorial Fund about which I wrote you under date of January 18, 1955. As
a result of Elizabeth's illness I was not able to carry out my plan. I
provided in my letter that if I did not by December 31, 1956 designate
how the income from this fund was to be used, the income was to be used
for the general purposes of the University. Since I would like it to be
used for a special purpose and since I have not for the reason mentioned
been able to discuss it with you, I am writing this letter to set forth
how I would like for this fund to be handled. If it is not satisfactory
in every particular, I shall be delighted to come to the University some
time next year to discuss it with you. . . . Another subject has come up which I desire to present to you At a meeting with Mr. Malcolm Luck, Secretary of the University of
Virginia Alumni Association, Mr. Knox Turnbull, Secretary of the Alumni
Fund, Mr. Vincent Shea, Comptroller of the University, and myself, we
agreed on January 31, and by subsequent letter approved, to recommend
that In the light of recent discussions with Mr. Shea, Mr. Stacey and Dr.
Bobbitt, I should like to request approval of a revision of the
compensation arrangements in the Department of Clinical Pathology designed
to bring them more nearly in line with scale in other schools and with
the Department of Pathology in this school. It is proposed that all
earnings from private ambulatory patients be segregated in a special fund
in the Bursar's Office in the name of the Department of Clinical
Pathology, that costs to the hospital for the maintenance of these
services be paid from this fund and the remainder be used to supplement
the salaries of individuals in the Department of Clinical Pathology, the
limits on these salaries to be the same as those in the Department of
Pathology, namely, the old pre-clinical scale plus up to 50%. Any
surplus remaining is to used at the discretion of the Department. I have had some conferences and correspondence during the past
several weeks with Charles E. Wheeler of Easton, Maryland, local counsel
for this estate, with regard to the preparation of the second
administration and distribution account and the Maryland estate tax
return. REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE As Secretary of the Faculty I have the pleasant duty of enclosing
the resolution which was adopted by the Faculty of Mary Washington
College at its regular meeting on Monday night, May 13. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden,
Jr., Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson, and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Gravatt,
Gray, Greear, Hartfield, McWane, Martin, Paschall, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith,
and Miss Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Emmett and Jones. With the last wage increase, the maintenance costs of our
dormitories will be greater than the revenue. I believe that we should
raise our charges $25 per student for all accomodations. This would make
the charge in the new dormitories $200 instead of the present $175. Basis for the request for an increase in the Student Health Service
medical fee from $20 to $25 beginning in the Session 1958-1959. At a called meeting of the University Senate on October 3, 1957 the
following programs were presented for final review and were approved. I
should like now to recommend them to your office for submission to the
Board of Visitors for its approval. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Absent: Visitors Jones, Paschall, Pollock, and Mrs. Smith. In an effort to determine the costs per student in the Law School,
I have consulted with the State Auditors who made the last detailed cost
study of the University. This study was made for the fiscal year 195253.
Applying the general procedures of that study to our present costs,
I have come up with the following I have your Special Delivery letter of November 27 requesting that I
provide a set of written proposals to the Board of Visitors covering the
sites recommended to the Board by our Board of Control in our letter of
November 15th. I regret that you have not had a more prompt response,
but I did not receive your letter until December 3rd (Tuesday) when it
was forwarded to me in Richmond where I was on the General Assembly
inspection tour. I have just returned from this duty. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
