 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia met at 10:00 A.M. on this date, by call of The Rector, in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with the 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.
