date at 9:30 o'clock A. M., with the following members present:
The Rector, Mr. Irvine, and Visitors Bryan, Hatton, Michie,
Walker, Dillard, Robertson and Hart, and President Alderman. Concerning the proposition of the C. & A. Ry.
Co. for connecting with the University plant, we recommend
the following: Under date of May 28, a communication
was received from the Office of the Surgeon General of
the Army requesting all medical schools which can possibly
do so to begin the session 1918-1919 for fourth year medical
students not later than July 1, so that the Class of
1919 may be graduated by the end of February or early
in March 1919. This measure is to help meet the extraordinary
demand for medical officers for the Army which
is sure to come within the next year or so. I am empowered and directed by
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
to convey to you the deep appreciation and gratitude
of the University for the commemorative tablet in honor
of James Rogers McConnell, an old student of this
Institution who gave his life for France. This tablet
shall be set up in a conspicuous place upon the walls
of this University, and shall serve as a tie to bind together
in everlasting affection and memory the two great
nations now struggling to protect the freedom of mankind
against a menace of tyranny and oppression. I would like to submit for your
approval and that of the Board assembled, the enclosed
plan of an endowment fund to be raised in the future
for the Medical School of the University, and in beloved
commemoration of the late Richard Henry Whitehead.
The plan is that of the Graduating Class in
Medicine, with a view to extending it to the alumni and
also the future classes in Medicine. In recognition of our great indebtedness to the University
of Virginia for our training in Medicine, and in beloved
commemoration of Richard Henry Whitehead, we, the undersigned,
do hereby pledge ourselves to give at some time
to the Medical School one thousand dollars each, or as
much as our financial status shall allow, toward the
establishment of an endowment fund to be called by the
above title. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, to lay

Committee of our Board, with the condition that the track
and works of the company be removed at their own expense
on 60 days notice from the Board, at the pleasure of the
Board. This is to advise you that my recent examination
of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th,
