 Description: The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held its regular meeting at 10:00 A.M. on this date at the University, convening in open session in Room 202 Rouss Hall, with the following present: President Colgate W. 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.
