University of Virginia was held on this date in the Office of the President of the University,
at Charlottesville, with the following present: The Rector, Barron F. Black; President
Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Visitors Barksdale, Coxe, Dunn, Emmett, Gray, Howard, McWane, Mears,
Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, Talbott, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitor Gravatt. In accordance with the wishes of the Board of Visitors as expressed in a resolution adopted
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 |
