 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date with the following members present: I have made very careful study of the cost of heating to the University from the new central station with a view to making recommendation as to a fair distribution of charges for heat. In reference to E. W. James Estate Income I wish to express however haltingly - my deep appreciation of the generous kindness you have shown me during my illness, - a kindness which has made my sickness much more tolerable and my recovery more certain and complete. When our Board of School Trustees decided recently to erect a school for the colored population of this place the most suitable site was found to be on the land now owned by Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner. We asked Mr. Chaloner to donate ten acres of land for this purpose. Mr. Chaloner considered the matter carefully and decided he wanted to doit because of his love for the people of Roanoke Rapids and his desire to do something for the colored people of this section. He explained, however, that he had made a deed of this land to the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia but that he thought since he was to have the use of this land during his lifetime that there would be no difficulty in conveying in fee simple to our School Board. He suggested that we have our lawyer investigate the case which has been done. Our attorney advises that the most suitable way to convey this land is to have a deed signed jointly by Mr. Chaloner and the proper authorities from the two universities. I have just written Dr. Chase to determine whether the University of North Carolina would be willing to join with the University of Virginia in making the deed. We asked for ten acres because we thought that was the smallest part we could get along with. Knowing your spirit and interest in the cause of education I feel that you will understand our position and that there will be little difficulty in getting the proper acceptance of this arrangement.
