 Description: A called meeting of the Pector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 o'clock in the evening. There were present the Rector, R. Tate Irvine, and Visitors Goodrich Hatton, C. Harding Walker, John Stewart Bryan, George R. B. Michie, and Alexander F. Robertson. The minutes of the previous meeting, copies of which had been mailed to the several Visitors, were approved. At a meeting of the General Faculty held February 8, 1919, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: (Resolved, That the General Faculty recommends to the Rector and Board of Visitors that one or more units of the R. O. T. C. be established at the University of Virginia.) If the State Board of Health will establish and maintain a Tuberculosis Sanatorium sufficiently close to the Medical School of the University of Virginia for effective cooperation, and if the State Board of Health will permit the Medical Director of the Sanatorium to teach the problems of tuberculosis to the students and nurses of the medical department of the University, and for this purpose use such patients in the sanatorium as may seem suitable to the Medical Director; the Medical School of the University will on its part affiliate with the sanatorium, and promote the work of the sanatorium in so far as such promotion and affiliation is compatible with the other objects and duties of the Medical School and the University Hospital.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on the above date at 10 o'clock A. M. in the office of the President. There were present R. Tate Irvine, Rector, and Visitors Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, Geo. R. B. Michis, Alexander F. Robertson, C. Harding Walker, and the President. The special committee appointed at the meeting of the Rector and Visitors October 14, 1919, to consider the question of increase of salaries of the professors, associate professors, adjunct professors and administrative officers met on this date at 8 o'clock P.M. in the office of the President. There were present the President, and Messrs. Irvine, Hart, Walker and Michie. Visitors Robertson and Hatton were present by invitation of the committee. The professors of the University of Virginia, in special conference assembled, desire to call your attention to the following facts, too well known to require argument: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of a preamble and resolutions presented to me on November 3rd and again signed on November 5th by a committee representing a conference of the gentlemen of the faculties of the University. I need hardly say that I am in enthusiastic accord with the general purport of these resolutions both as regards the substantial increase of salaries and the policy of not attempting further new expansion in the University until a just and adequate salary arrangement for the present staff is attained. The purpose to bring about this increase is the most steadfast purpose in my mind, and has been all along for twelve years as I have seen the staff increase from twenty-eight to seventy-eight by process of promotion rather than succession, and particularly since last April when with then no certainty of surplus funds I recommended and the Board added some $8000 to be appropriated for salary increases. I shall, therefore, both as your colleague and as a member of a committee appointed by the Board for the purpose, give to these resolutions my most earnest and sympathetic consideration, and I shall take pains to see that the committee of the Board and the Board itself see and consider them. I confess to some disquiet and some unhappiness in the matter. Naturally, I would desire not only to support but to lead in a movement to grant a petition containing so much of justice and signed by so many thoughtful and unselfish men. I am determined whether the Legislature grants the request contained in the budget or any part of it or none of it, to recommend with insistence that a new salary basis of 25% increase be entered upon here this year effective for the current session, and it is my judgment that the Rector and Visitors also hold this purpose quite definitely, though, of course, I have no authority to forecast their action. With me the necessity for such action is a matter of supreme educational policy.
