 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.
