on this date at 8 o'clock in the evening. There were
present the Rector, R. Tate Irvine, and Visitors Goodrich Hatton,
C. Harding Walker, John Stewart Bryan, George R. B. Michie,
and Alexander F. Robertson. The minutes of the previous
meeting, copies of which had been mailed to the several
Visitors, were approved. At a meeting of the General Faculty held February
8, 1919, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
(Resolved, That the General Faculty recommends to the
Rector and Board of Visitors that one or more units of the
R. O. T. C. be established at the University of Virginia.) If the State Board of Health will establish and maintain
a Tuberculosis Sanatorium sufficiently close to the Medical
School of the University of Virginia for effective cooperation,
and if the State Board of Health will permit the Medical
Director of the Sanatorium to teach the problems of tuberculosis
to the students and nurses of the medical department of the
University, and for this purpose use such patients in the sanatorium
as may seem suitable to the Medical Director; the Medical
School of the University will on its part affiliate with the
sanatorium, and promote the work of the sanatorium in so far
as such promotion and affiliation is compatible with the other
objects and duties of the Medical School and the University
Hospital. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Board of Visitors | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Board of Visitors minutes | | | | Published: | 1919 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-BoardOfVisitorsMinutes | | | | 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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
