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.

On the enclosed list we have set forth a number of gifts to the Graduate School of Business which, at the time of receipt, were added to the Consolidated Endowment Fund. Now that a separate fund has been established for the Graduate School, I believe it advisable to transfer these funds from the Consolidated Endowment Fund to the new fund. Under authority granted by the Governor on November 12, 1954, Mary Washington College has been authorized to borrow from current funds in the State Treasury $1,356,515.57 with interest at the rate of one per centum per annum, beginning January 20, 1955 until paid. $1,356,515.57

 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia convened at 10:00 A.M. on this date in executive session in the Office of the Chancellor of Mary Washington College, at Fredericksburg, with the following present. Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Gravatt, Greear, Hartfield, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mr. Smith, Talbott, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Emmett, Gray, Howard, and Mrs. Smith. As an admirer of Senator Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, I should like to see a 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.

 Description: The annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia was held on this date at 10:00 a.m. 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, Gravatt, Greear, Hartfield, Howard, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitor Gray. The committee which you recently appointed to study the program in the 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.

 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.

Darden, Jr. and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, 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.

Chancellor Simpson and Mr. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, were present from 9:00 to 9:30 to discuss matters relating to the College, and Mr. L. Burwell Gunn and Mr. Donald Willcox of the State-Planters Bank were present from 10:10 to 11:00 to discuss the current investments of the Consolidated Endowment Funds. At our regular Council meeting held on January 7, 1957 I presented the plan which I discussed with you on December 24, for the widening of Jefferson Park Avenue from its intersection with Main Street back to the Hospital entrance. Enclosed is a copy of the proposal of the Committee on Private 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 world I mentioned that the Committee on Contractual Relations was considering a new type of insurance provided by the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association.

 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held its regular meeting at 10.00 A.M. on this date in the Office of the Chancellor of Mary Washington College, at Fredericksburg, with the following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr.; President Colgate W. Darden, Jr.; Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson, and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gravatt, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler. 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 writing for myself and my colleagues, and at their direction, in saying that this would be a great misfortune to the University and to us personally. We heartily endorse the resolution of the Association of Professors
