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 Coxe, Dunn, Emmett, Gravatt, Gray, Howard, McWane, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith,
Talbott, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Barksdale and Mears. In their Annual Reports for 1952-53, the Divisions of Philosophy and Psychology of the
Corcoran Department of Philosophy and Psychology strongly recommended that they be established
as separate academic Departments. This recommendation is wholly in accord with the pronounced
trend of recent years in regard to such matters, and I heartily concur in it. Each of the
Divisions is amply large in both staff and enrollment to be a Department, they are housed in
widely separated buildings, and they function quite independently of each other You will recall that I have, in the past, had some correspondence with you in reference to the
Lynchburg Chapter of the University of Virginia Loan Fund, and as of September 30, 1953, you
forwarded to me a statement not only of the assets, but of the notes receivable. At one
of our Lynchburg Alumni Meetings of recent date, we unanimously passed a motion to the effect
that we desire that the Lynchburg Alumni Loan Fund be returned to our Chapter for deposit in one
of Lynchburg's banks in order that we may earn interest on the money when it lays idle as it has
in the majority of years since 1924, and we believe that by having it in a local bank we can use
this money to help students through University in many more cases, for as I informed you in past
correspondence, for so many years we did not realize that this fund was still in effect at your
office, therefore, would you please be so kind as to inform me as to the manner in which I
should approach you for the release of such funds to our chapter In reference to your request for an estimate on the renovation of the Wright cottage, see
