 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia met on this date at 10:00 A.M. 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., and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Greear, Hartfield, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler. Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson and Bursar Edgar E. Woodward were present throughout the consideration of Mary Washington College matters. Absent: Visitors Coxe, Emmett, Gravatt, Gray, Jones, and Paschall. I note that a copy of Mr. Minor's opinion concerning the authority of the Board to reduce the library fee has been sent to you. Based on this opinion, I should like to recommend that the Board be asked this Saturday to reduce the library fee from the present $20.00 to $6.00, and that it be made applicable to all students enrolled. Based on the estimated enrollment next session of 5,000, this will yield $30,000, an amount more than adequate to cover the principal and interest charges. May I take this opportunity to submit the attached proposal for revising the statement of fees on pages 34 and 35 in the catalogue of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. If these proposals meet with your approval, would you please submit them to the Board for their action if this is necessary. I enclose copy of Mr. William Hanckel's letter concerning the above property. Mr. O'Grince and I have examined the property and recommend that the Board of Visitors be requested to authorize the purchase of the property, under the terms set forth in Mr. Hanckel's letter. Confirming our conversation of today, Mrs. Bowles would like to work out an arrangement whereby she would sell the University 39 acres less 9.818 acres. This 9.818 acres she will agree to sell the University when she desires to upon giving the University 90 day notice. Your special committee on the Paunch issue of The Spectator submits its report herewith. You asked us to determine whether or not this issue of The Spectator discredited the name of the University of Virginia, and if so, whether to a degree sufficient to warrant your bringing the matter before the Student Council. I send you this note to confirm the views expressed to you in our talk a few days ago about the Spectator. Since Mr. Carlson, the Editor, is not eligible to continue the direction of the magazine, because of academic probation, you will be required to appoint a new editor and approve the staff selected by him. In doing this I wish you to bear in mind that though you act as the Board chosen by the Jefferson Society which owns Spectator, you act also as representatives of the University. In fact as in the public understanding, a magazine published by a student group at the University, using University buildings and under the control of a society of the University with long and distinguished history, has an important sanction from the University. The public may with reason judge the University accordingly. The University's reputation is dear to all of us who serve it and love it. It is not the property of one small group to be dealt with in the uncontrolled judgment of that group, however honest that judgment may be. Our mutual friend and benefactor, Mrs. Preston Davie, has now given each of our institutions a work of art. To the University in 1956 came a small (25 3/8″h × 19 1/2″w) portrait of Raleigh, and to the Museum in 1957, a larger (45″h × 32 1/2″w) portrait of Burke. The official appraisals by French and Company are. Raleigh $7,500, Burke $8,500. I enclose photographs of each portrait. 1. The Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation has recently adopted the following resolution. That there be established "not later than the college year 1959-60 the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Fellowships paying $1,500.00 per annum plus tuition, in general along the lines set forth in the Memorandum of July 10, 1957, from Mr. Oron J. Hale, Chairman of the Department of History, to Mr. Colgate W. Darden, Jr., President of the University, and contribute up to $5,000.00 per year towards such Fellowships, with the understanding that this Foundation would match the amount put up by the University up to $5,000.00 and would, if Fellows of the desired type in sufficient number can be obtained, put up additional amounts, it being contemplated that the Foundation would in such case contribute at least $15,000.00 per year towards the expense of these Fellowships and quite possibly even more in the future." 1. The Corcoran Department of History recommends appointment of Dr. Dumas Malone as Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History, effective July 1, 1959, and that during the session 1958-1959, when Dr. Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University, he be appointed Visiting Professor of History in the University of Virginia. The terms of the appointment are those stated in the "Resolution For The Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation," of which paragraph one specifies the grants and salary to be paid to Professor Malone by the Foundation. Salary and Foundation grants will amount to $15,000 annually. I concur with the Department of History in recommending that Dr. Dumas Malone be appointed Visiting Professor of History, without salary, for the academic year 1958-59 beginning July 1, 1958. During this time, Dr. Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University. It is my understanding that he will receive a supplemental research grant from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. I transmit to you the recommendation of the Corcoran Department of History, with my concurrence, that Dr. Dumas Malone be appointed Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History effective July 1, 1959, for a term of three years, at a twelve month salary of $7,500 per year. I take pleasure in quoting the resolution unanimously adopted at a meeting of the University of Virginia Law School Foundation October 11, 1957, as follows Professional Leave for Graduate Study

 Description: The Annual Meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia was held on 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, Bryan, Coxe, Fenwick, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Lantor, Montague, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Smith, and Wheeler. Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson and Bursar Edgar E. Woodward were present throughout consideration of Mary Washington College matters. Absent: Visitors Paschall (who had an urgent conflicting engagement) and Smith (who was in Charlottesville, though unwell, and participated in the work of three Board committees during the week-end) I wish to submit herewith my resignation as President of the University, to be effective as soon as the Board has selected a new President and he is prepared to take over the duties of this office On May 8 you requested me to find out from the local committee at Wise about what suggestions they had on the location of the auditorium authorized by the Assembly last winter. The committee at Wise has two recommendations first, that Mr. Charles B. McElroy be employed as architect on the gymnasium-auditorium, second, that the gymnasium-auditorium be located on the site between the Coeburn Road and the building now used for faculty apartments (the Old Detention Home) I should like to recommend two changes in the present TIAA-CREF annuity program, which should be presented to the Board if you approve. The Student Council wishes to submit the following traffic control recommendations for your consideration I am enclosing a revised copy of the regulations governing use of motor vehicles by students in the undergraduate schools of the University as approved unanimously by the Committee on Undergraduates at its meeting on Friday, May 30, 1958. This meeting was also attended by Miss Tyson from the School of Nursing and Mr. Nichols from the School of Architecture. I strongly recommend adoption of these regulations by the Board of Visitors and propose that they take effect with students entering in September, 1958. I feel that those sections dealing with warning, probation, and conviction of drunken and/or reckless driving should become effective for all undergraduate students in September, 1958 The Student Council at its meeting on May 19, 1958, unanimously passed the following motion. To recommend that all students who register cars have compulsory insurance As you know, Prof. Vyssotsky is retiring this June. Approximately 25 years ago he requested permission from the University to build a home near the observatory. President Newcomb advised him that he would bring the matter to the Board of Visitors and secure a lease for him. Mr. Vyssotsky said that he checked several times with Mr. Carruthers, who was then Secretary of the Board, to see if any action had been taken. He was assured that it would be forth coming and to proceed with the construction of his residence REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE FOR THE SESSION 1957-58 At the Annual meeting of the Trustees of McGregor Fund careful consideration was given to your letter of April 28 and to a continuation of support of the Tracy W. McGregor Library at the University. I am pleased to report that the Trustees appropriated $12,000 a year for each of the five years commencing July 1, 1958, for accessions to the McGregor Library, and checks will be forthcoming quarterly as in the past, commencing around July 1

Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson and Bursar Edgar E. Woodward were present throughout consideration of Mary Washington College matters. This is in reply to your letter of June 11, 1958, in which you state that in the past college year there was a water pipe break in some of the dormitories of the College which resulted in water damage to luggage and clothing belonging to students. You state that you have been presented with claims from the students suffering these damages in the amount of $275.00. You ask my advice as to whether or not these claims should be paid The Virginia Electric and Power Company has been requested to provide electric service to the individual property owners of Westmont Subdivision, located in the southwest section of the City of Fredericksburg. In order to provide the electric facilities it is desirable, for the protection and safe operation of the line, to secure guying and tree clearing rights along the west edge of the University of Virginia's property adjoining Beverly Drive, in Westmont Subdivision. A plat of this area showing the desired right-of-way privileges is attached for further identification
