Harding Walker, Visitors Duke, McIntire, McVea, Oliver, Scott and Williams, and President Alderman. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WHITEHEAD SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE I have thought for sometime that I wanted to do something for my Alma Mater - the University of Virginia - to which I owe so much; but when the drive was on for the University I had been in the Army for more than two years with my personal and family expenses more than three times what my income was and I was not certain about the future.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date, at 8 o'clock p.m., with the following present: The Rector C. Harding Walker, Visitors Dillard, Duke, McVea, Oliver and Scott, and President Alderman. The Committee on Saturday, October 13th had interviews with Dr. Hancock and Dr. Lambeth and saw both heating plants. The Committee is of the opinion that it would be well for them to be under one head and as Dr. Hancock has resigned, advise that Dr. Lambeth be placed in charge of all heating plants. I have the honor herewith to report on the work of the expedition sent to California by the Leander of McCormick Observatory to make observations on the total eclipse of the sun on September 10, 1923. Your letter of the eleventh was duly received. I went over this morning to see Mr. Bradford about the transfer of the portrait of Jefferson in the Colonnade Club to Jefferson Hall. With the assistance of the janitor there, I hung the picture where Sully's Jefferson formerly hung. The Jefferson Society has now in its possession a portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Thomas Sully purchased some seventy years ago by the Society for the sum of approximately five hundred dollars.

 Description: The Annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 9:30 a.m. with the Rector, C. Harding Walker, Visitors Hall, Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott and Williams, and President Alderman Present. I am today sending to Governor Trinkle my formal resignation as a member of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia. I cannot refrain from writing at the same time to express to you and the other members of the Board my heartfelt appreciation of the delightful way in which you welcomed me and made me so completely one of yourselves. I value more than I can tell you the association in so high a duty with men like those on our Board. The meetings have been a pleasure and a privilege. RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors having learned with regret, of Dr. Emilie W.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 9 a.m., with the following members present: the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because of a resolve to devote your future to the service of the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a message of high courage and imperishable faith. The twenty-one years during which you have directed the policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority, in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent and in large measure your personal work. They have won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration, the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came to this University in a momentous hour. You were our first president and the great mass of our then graduates knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious of the ineradicable infirmities which lay hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity of intramural life. It has been your high mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy in the spirit and tradition of the University of Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension of your sympathy to beget for her a future which shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness of her academic life.

 Description: The regular annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10 a.m., with the following members present: Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott, Williams, Walker and President Alderman. It is my sad duty to announce to the faculty and students of the University the death of Professor Charles Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated to the University of Virginia toward its program of research in the Social Sciences. I shall present this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall at that time convey their expression, as the Governing Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally assure you of my own profound sense of obligation to you for the patient thought you have given to the matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry out the work which this money is intended to promote, with the very highest desire to have the exact thing that the Board intends to get done in our American life. At a meeting of the committee representing the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously voted to offer to the University the support of a Research Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise $4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair. We decided to specify history because we feel that it will make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary to establishing this Chair with the authorities of the University.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 p.m., lasting until 11:30 p.m., when adjournment was had to the morning of April 23rd at 9 o'clock. After due deliveration and careful study, supplemented by a personal interview with several agricultural experts at V. P. I., the committee on "Blandy Experimental Farm" is of the opinion that the tentative educational program submitted below is practical, and furthermore, that it will (1) comply with the will of the donor, (2) be a service to the people of the State, and (3) will not conflict with the work which is now being done at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. In light of these facts then, the following recommendations are made: I beg to advise that, pursuant to instructions given me at the March 1st meeting of the Board, I called on Bentley W. Warren and Irvin McD. Garfield, trustees of the Estate of Arthur W. Austin, on April 11th and received from them the corpus of the estate consisting of the following:

For a number of years it has been the policy of the University to pay the salaries of its administrative officers and members of the teaching staff, above the grade of instructor, on a yearly basis in monthly installments on the first of each month. This practice arose from the payment of salaries to its professors in large part from the fees from their respective students, being made in quarterly payments. Later this was changed to five payments per session and, finally, to monthly payments in advance when students' fees were no longer allocated to professors' stipends. This policy of payments in advance was also justified by reason of the fact that the State's appropriation to the University was received in monthly allotments on the first of each month for the current month.

 Description: The annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M., with intermission for lunch, followed by a session on the morning of the 12th which convened at 9:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry, physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of $103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety.
