at its September 10th meeting and at your request, I have consulted the Faculties of the
University that would be directly involved concerning the establishment under University administration
of a two-year college program at Wise, Virginia. I am glad to report that the Faculties
of the College and of the Schools of Education and Engineering, without a dissenting vote,
adopted resolutions approving in principle the establishment under University administration of
one or more University branches in which the first two years of college work would be offered under
regulations approved by the Faculties. I am glad to report, also that following this favorable
action by the Faculties, the question was referred to the University Senate for its consideration
and that at its January 4th meeting the Senate likewise adopted a resolution approving in
principle the establishment of one or more branches under the provision specified by the
faculties concerned. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

fund or endowment established at the University of Virginia in recognition of his
conspicuous service to our country, especially in the field of public finance. We now have one hundred (100) Regional Scholarships for Virginians, which the
Scholarship Committee feels is quite adequate. However, funds for out-of-state
regionals have been very limited and the Scholarship Committee has been most anxious
to find ways of increasing the number of these awards, for the following reasons Mr. Runk and I have discussed various ways of operating the Cavalier Daily.
It is our opinion that it would be unwise to discontinue the current support of
the Daily by an assessment against the student body. The reason the fee was
initially instituted was because student subscriptions were limited largely to
entering students and one or two subscriptions per fraternity house. The older
boys just would not subscribe sufficiently to cover the operating cost. Confirming our conversation of this morning, we welcome the opportunity to
advise that the layout and design of the proposed Children's Rehabilitation Center
has been approved without qualification by representatives of the Clinical
Departments most concerned with the project, the Departments of Nursing Service,
Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Dietary, and the Hospital Administration.
It is the impression of all concerned that the building as designed is adequate and
admirably suited for the contemplated Children's Rehabilitation Program.
Functionally, it will provide for efficient operation both from a clinical and
administrative standpoint. The plans have also received favorable review by
informed individuals not connected with the University who have had extensive
experience in Children's Rehabilitation in the various specialized areas such as
clinical care, therapy, nursing and administration. The University Sports Club would like for you to request permission of the
Board for the Club to conduct sports car trials on Observatory Mountain sometime
early next fall. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Department of Nursing thought that the tuition in the Department should be
increased to that obtaining in the College of Arts and Sciences, effective
with the 1957-58 session. Confirming my conversation with you of several days ago, I am enclosing herewith
the last will and testament of Roy C. Moyston. You will notice that on page 5, Article
V (B) one-half of the community estate of Mr. and Mrs. Moyston and all of his
separate estate is left to the Jefferson Sponsors Fund for the use and benefit
of the Law Department of the University of Virginia, and if said fund be not
then in existence, then to said University of Virginia for the use and benefit
of the Law Department. Since the Jefferson Sponsors Fund is not in existence,
it is my interpretation that the money in question goes to the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia, a corporation, and should be handled
by the University of Virginia's attorney, Venable Minor. This is to advise you that the City of Falls Church proposes to offer the sum
of $100,000.00 for that tract of land in the City know as the Joseph H. Riley
tract, located at the corner of Park Avenue and Little Falls Street, containing
8.321 acres of land. The University house on East Range at present occupied by Dr. David C. Wilson
has suddenly become vacant as a result of Professor Wilson's resignation, effective
July 1st. In accordance with your request, I have given careful consideration to Mr.
Talbott's letter to you of May 21, 1956, asking for an opinion from me on the
admissibility of a male Negro applicant to the College of Liberal Arts of the
University of Virginia. The application is accompanied by credentials which
show him to be otherwise entitled to admission. The fact that the State of
Virginia maintains a liberal arts college for Negroes at Petersburg, under the
name of Virginia State College, has also been noted. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Chancellor
Grellet C. Simpson, Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Howard,
Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Gravatt and Mr.
Smith. The University's Special Counsel, Mr. C. Venable Minor, was present during a portion of
the meeting and participated in discussions of the real estate transactions at Fredericksburg,
Falls Church, and Clinch Valley as outlined below. The present R.O.T.C. units at the University of Virginia, starting with the
Navy in 1940, have been organized at the request of the University. The enrollment
in these units is covered by public law. Enrollment is entirely voluntary. (This
is not the case at the so-called land grant colleges and universities). The first
two years (first year only for the Naval ROTC Regulars) a member may withdraw at
his own request. Approval of the resignation is accomplished at the Unit Command
level. Starting with the third year, ROTC members receive subsistence
compensation, and approval of the resignation can only be made at Departmental
(or delegated) level. At a meeting of the Nursing School Advisory Committee, with all members present
this morning, it was unanimously agreed that the plan of reorganization of the
Department of Nursing as a separate School of Nursing with the arrangements which we
have discussed previously, be recommended to you and to the Board of Visitors. To be
more specific, we should like to recommend that the Department of Nursing become The
University of Virginia School of Nursing, with a separate dean and with full academic
status as a separate school within the University. It would be understood that in
academic matters the School of Nursing would have complete autonomy, but that in
administrative matters effecting the Medical Center, the Dean of the School of
Nursing would answer to the Director of the Medical Center (the Dean of the Medical
School). Pursuant to their appointment by this Board in June, 1956, as its committee to
study the question of where the Northern Virginia branch of the University should be
located, the undersigned, as a first step in their inquiry, held a public hearing in
Alexandria on July 21, after issuing special invitations to the members of the General
Assembly in the area and the authorities of the several political subdivisions, as
well as general invitations through the press to the interested public, to attend and
assist the committee by giving it their views and such information as they thought might
be helpful. Thereafter the committee personally investigated the sites suggested,
interviewed those persons having particular knowledge of the different tracts, made
measurements of the time and distance of the several locations from the populous areas
and from the rural sections to be served, and considered the availability thereto of
public transportation, sewerage facilities, and water supplies as well as the
accessibility of the property by highway, and their situation with respect to the high
schools in Northern Virginia. I am writing you relative to the proposed plan for the construction of a new
dormitory housing approximately 176 students for which we have an appropriation
of $192,500.00. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Gravatt, Greear, Hartfield, Howard, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and
Wheeler. Absent: The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr. and Visitor Gray. Most of the members of the
public present during the morning session were delegations and individuals who appeared before the
Board on behalf of various sites for the proposed Northern Virginia College of the University.
Several representatives of the press were also present. Confirming our conversation concerning an employee of Seward Forest who is sick
with cancer, the circumstances are as follows: The present regulation for admission of women students to Engineering calls for at
least 60 semester-hours credit and a minimum age of 20. This was passed by the
Board of Visitors sometime during the 20's so I wonder if it would not be well to
reconsider the matter since opinions have changed quite a bit since that time. If
you feel that it is advisable to present this matter to the Board of Visitors for
reconsideration, I suggest that the minimum age be changed to 18 so an outstanding
student who has completed two years of college elsewhere may be considered for admission.
I agree with the requirement of 60 semester-hours as I do not believe it would be
advisable for a girl of 16 or 17 to make the transition from high school to
college in a predominantly boys' school. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Jefferson Park Avenue from its intersection with Main Street back to

Practice of the Clinical Staff of the Medical School. This proposal has
been reviewed by the Dean and approved by him, and I went over it
yesterday with Dr. Vest. You will recall that before you left for your trip around the

Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, was present during the
discussion of the College budget. I have your letter of March 28, 1957, requesting my opinion in
regard to the above captioned matter, and I have given careful
consideration to the correspondence enclosed therewith. It is my
understanding, however, that the University is not interested in the
arguments as to whether or not the J.A.G. School will have to obtain
and pay for a license to dispense beer, but is interested in whether
or not it can legally consent to the issuance of such license for
sale of beer on University property. My opinion will therefore be
confined to that point. Board of Visitors' action on the attached indenture is in order,
and I suggest that the Board consider a motion to instruct its
Secretary to communicate to Mr. Edward S. Handy, in care of Mr. Junius
Fishburne of the Peoples National Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia,
their satisfaction over, and acceptance of, the provisions of the deed. In further reference to our telephone conversation of a few days
ago in regard to the exchange of the University and Equitable Realty
Corporation, whereby Equitable Realty Corporation undertakes to convey
in fee simple to the University, a triangular piece of land lying along
the western boundary of the soccer field in exchange for a ninety-nine
(99) year lease from the University of another triangular parcel
adjoining the first, I am enclosing herewith a plat of the properties
to be exchanged, on which the property to be conveyed to the
University is designated as Parcel A and marked in blue, while the
parcel to be leased to Equitable Realty is designated Parcel B and
marked in red. At the direction of the Assembly of Professors of the University
of Virginia I have the pleasure to transmit to you herewith a resolution
passed by this body at a recent meeting. As you doubtless know this
body is composed of all members of the University faculty of
professorial rank. I am confident that the sentiments expressed in
this resolution accurately express the feelings of the University
faculty Word has reached the faculty of the Graduate School of Business
Administration that you have expressed the intention of resigning
from the presidency of the University within the next two years. At
a meeting of the faculty of the School held on February 27 it was
unanimously voted that I be instructed to write to you on behalf of
the faculty and respectfully ask you to reconsider such a decision
and remain in office for the full term of your office. We have just had a meeting of the law faculty at which concern
was again expressed about your consideration of resignation. I am
