 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this 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.

I must again express my appreciation of the peculiarly handsome way in which you have done this good deed. The will of Elizabeth B. White, who died in Baltimore on November 13th, 1917, provides in paragraph three of item number one that the sum of Five Thousand Dollars be given to the University of Virginia for the establishment of scholarships to be known as the ELIZABETH B.

Alderman, President, University of Virginia: From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia; Major Frederick Waugh Smith notified his brother, Col. Thomas Smith, and the University of Virginia that he intended to contest the will on the grounds of the uncertainty of its provisions, but at the same time he made a proposition of compromise.

This is to advise you that my recent examination of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 1918, disclosed no irregularities of any kind, but on the other hand, your records were found to be correct.

As the parents of the late Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., who graduated from the Law School of the University of Virginia in June, 1911, and who died in France on August 29, 1918 from wounds received in battle, it is our desire to erect some usefull and enduring memorial which will permanently associate his name with the University of Virginia, - his, as well as his father's, Alma Mater. This motive springs not alone from the promptings of parental affection for the memory of an only son, - and an only child, - but from the wish to give some outward expression to the love and loyalty that he cherished for the University. I have this day received your letter of the 28th inst., with the enclosure, giving so moving and interesting an account of the life and service of your son, Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. I have read with the greatest interest and approval the communication in which you give to the University of Virginia the sum of $10,000 to be known as the Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., donation, and to be used for the general purpose of the enrichment of the Law Library through the purchase of books and other accessories. I note, of course, the conditions of the use of the fund set forth so clearly by you, the wisdom of which I sincerely subscribe to. I can, in advance, accept for the Rector and Visitors this noble gift, and can, in advance, assure you of their profound gratification and appreciation of the great service you have done to the University and of their pride that so brave and noble a youth shall be here commemorated. My wife and I appreciate your kind letter of the 31st ult. I have written my kinsman, Prof. R. C. Minor, consenting to the publication of the sketch. Responding to your request for the expression of a further opinion in connection with the matter of the Oliver H. Payne bequest to the University, in view of supposed new evidence, I beg to submit as follows: Whereas Oliver H. Payne, late of the City of New York, died on the 27th day of June, 1917, leaving a Last Will and Testament dated the 7th day of September, 1915, and the same was thereafter duly admitted to probate by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York, and letters testamentary thereon were issued out of said court to the Executors named in said Will; and It was my intention and understanding in making the gift of $155,000. for the establishment of a School of Fine Arts, that $5,000. or as much thereof as might be necessary, should be used outright for the purchase of equipping the School of Art and Architecture.

 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.

Personally, I want to assure you of the great pride and happiness I have in this action of your find boy whom we all remember here with pleasure and approval.

I shall want to call the scholarship the Homes Scholarship, and it will be permanent in our academic life. At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the General Athletic Association concerning the employment of a permanent athletic coach, the following motion was unanimously passed:

The supreme Council of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity most gratefully accept the privilege of petitioning your Honorable Board for the privilege of offering the use of Room 31, West Range, the birth-place of our beloved Fraternity, as a scholarship to deserving members of its organization. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to which was referred the application of the Beta Theta Pi for permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds of the University, recommends that the fraternity be given an option until January 1, 1921 on the lot in the rear of the Kappa Sigma House and fronting on Rugby Road, for the erection of such house. The exact bounds of said lot to be hereafter determined by the Rector and Visitors, and the terms and conditions upon which said lot is to be held and the building erected to be in accordance with those heretofore determined by the Rector and Visitors in other like cases. In case the lot be desired by the fraternity, then the details shall be arranged and embodied in proper documents to be duly executed by the parties. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds unanimously recommends that the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow, as set forth in his letter of June 7, 1920 to the President, be rejected, and the Committee is unable to make any recommendation which will provide for the remodeling or repairing of the property at this time.

 Description: A called meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date a 8 o'clock P. M., at which were present the Rector, John Stewart Bryan, and Visitors E. L. Greever, Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, Walter T. Oliver, Alex. F. Robertson and C. Harding Walker, and President Alderman. On the approach of the Centennial Celebration, and on the Founder's birthday, I desire to enter upon the execution of a long-cherished design to present to my Alma Mater a library of international law. I would begin the collection this year, and would from time to time add to it, making a final contribution, including probably a part of my own library, under my will or such indications as my family would carry out. It was my honnor and pleasure to make known to the Rector and Visitors of the University, at their meeting on April 20, 1921, your letter setting forth your gift - the John Bassett Moore Library of International Law - to the University of Virginia. I was directed by the Board to express to you their gratitude and appreciation of this splendid service to the University. The Board is largely composed of members of the legal profession, and you may imagine their pleasure and satisfaction at the thought of such new strength will be added to that side of our University life. I was also instructed to say that your letter will be spread upon the minutes and that all of the conditions will be faithfully adhered to. The General Education Board is holding its mid-winter meeting on February 24th, in New York City. I have just had a visit from the fiscal agent of that Board. I am convinced that the sum of $50,000 may be obtained through that Board from the sum given by Mr. Rockefeller some years ago for salary increases in American colleges. Certain sums have already been granted to the University of North Carolina, William and Mary, and the University of Alabama, under just the same circumstances. I could not bring the matter before the Board at the other meeting because I had not then had the visit of the representative of the Board here. It is necessary for the General Board to know that I am speaking by authority of the governing body, or they would not feel inclined to make any gifts to a State institution without fore-knowledge that it would be acceptable. Mr. Carruthers will explain any details connected with the situation. I am hoping to have a wire from you by Wednesday night, Hotel Wolcott, 31st Street, New York, authorizing me to present the inclosed application. It was specifically stated that action indicating the purpose to make this application by the Executive Committee would be sufficient. On behalf of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, I am submitting, through you, to the General Education Board, an application for an appropriation of $50,000, to be applied to salary increases of the instructional staff in the University during the academic years 1921-22, 1922-23, 1923-24. It is desired to use the sum asked for both to relieve the present salary situation as regards increases already made and to make such further increases as would tend to stabilize justly the present salary schedule and to afford relief to those manifestly underpaid. The University expects to obtain the necessary funds within the time mentioned to take the place of this grant in order that they may guarantee the permanence of the increased scale and to increase it in so far as that may appear resonable and helpful to the institution. Pursuant to our conversation in Mr. Scott's office last Wednesday, the following is the estimate of the epxenses of the Endowment Fund campaign which I was to supply you. You will understand of course, that it is very difficult to make a close estimate, because we much be ready to meet conditions as they arise, which may call for additional and unforeseen expense:

Confirming the following telegram which I sent to you under date of May 31st, 1921, - Please pardon my delay in making formal answer to your telegram of May 31st, but I have been in the midst of Centennial, and this is the morning after. In pursuance of our conference, I beg you will convey to the Rector and Visitors my purpose, if it be in accord with their wishes, to give the sum of $200,000 for the establishment and maintenance within the University of Virginia of a School or Department of Commerce and Finance, utilizing as far as possible the basis of such School or Department now in existence.

It will be their purpose to carry out your wishes rigidly and to seek by all just means to develop the great new department which this endowment makes possible in the life of the University. I need not assure you of my own personal appreciation of the greatness and wisdom of your services to this institution in its effort to serve the youth of this and other generations.
