this date at 10 a.m. with Rector Bryan, and Visitors, Duke,
Hart, Hatton, Dillard, Scott, Oliver, Walker and Robertson
present. The supreme Council of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
most gratefully accept the privilege of petitioning your
Honorable Board for the privilege of offering the use of
Room 31, West Range, the birth-place of our beloved Fraternity,
as a scholarship to deserving members of its organization. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to which
was referred the application of the Beta Theta Pi for
permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds
of the University, recommends that the fraternity be
given an option until January 1, 1921 on the lot in the
rear of the Kappa Sigma House and fronting on Rugby Road,
for the erection of such house. The exact bounds of said
lot to be hereafter determined by the Rector and Visitors,
and the terms and conditions upon which said lot is to
be held and the building erected to be in accordance
with those heretofore determined by the Rector and Visitors
in other like cases. In case the lot be desired
by the fraternity, then the details shall be arranged and
embodied in proper documents to be duly executed by the
parties. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds unanimously
recommends that the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow,
as set forth in his letter of June 7, 1920 to the President,
be rejected, and the Committee is unable to make
any recommendation which will provide for the remodeling
or repairing of the property at this time. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Visitors at their fall meeting on November 10, your
handsome additional gift of $24,000 for a pipe organ
for the amphitheatre and for such changes in the
amphitheatre as the installation of the organ made
necessary. I am instructed by the Rector and Visitors
to communicate to you the expression of their profound
appreciation of your renewed and far-seeing generosity
and good will to the University. They cherish profoundly
your good service to the institution, and beg
me to assure you that they will do all in their power
to see that your wise gifts are thoughtfully and rightly
used for the education of our youth. May I be permitted
to add the expression of my own deep gratitude and personal
affection and esteem. I am authorized by the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia to communicate to you the expression
of their profound gratitude for your generosity and wisdom
in the establishment of the Louis Bennett Scholarship
in Law. The Visitors begged me to assure you that they
will take care that the scholarship is duly founded and
rightly administered in the interest of securing for
worthy young men proper instruction in the great subject.
in which your husband achieved distinction. The scholarship
will appear in our catalogue as the Louis Bennett
Scholarship in Law, and we will take pains to acquaint
you from year to year of the incumbent of the scholarship. I am instructed by the Rector and
Visitors to communicate to you an expression of their
appreciation and gratitude for the gift of the library
of your husband, the late Professor William Harry Heck.
They begged me to assure you that this library will be
duly preserved in honor of a devoted teacher and scholar

date a 8 o'clock P. M., at which were present the Rector, John
Stewart Bryan, and Visitors E. L. Greever, Harris Hart, Goodrich
Hatton, Walter T. Oliver, Alex. F. Robertson and C. Harding
Walker, and President Alderman. On the approach of the Centennial Celebration,
and on the Founder's birthday, I desire to enter upon
the execution of a long-cherished design to present
to my Alma Mater a library of international law.
I would begin the collection this year, and would from
time to time add to it, making a final contribution,
including probably a part of my own library, under my
will or such indications as my family would carry out. It was my honnor and pleasure to make
known to the Rector and Visitors of the University, at
their meeting on April 20, 1921, your letter setting
forth your gift - the John Bassett Moore Library of
International Law - to the University of Virginia. I
was directed by the Board to express to you their
gratitude and appreciation of this splendid service to
the University. The Board is largely composed of
members of the legal profession, and you may imagine their
pleasure and satisfaction at the thought of such new
strength will be added to that side of our University
life. I was also instructed to say that your letter
will be spread upon the minutes and that all of the
conditions will be faithfully adhered to. The General Education Board is holding its
mid-winter meeting on February 24th, in New York City. I
have just had a visit from the fiscal agent of that Board.
I am convinced that the sum of $50,000 may be obtained
through that Board from the sum given by Mr. Rockefeller
some years ago for salary increases in American colleges.
Certain sums have already been granted to the University
of North Carolina, William and Mary, and the University of
Alabama, under just the same circumstances. I could not
bring the matter before the Board at the other meeting because
I had not then had the visit of the representative of the
Board here. It is necessary for the General Board to know
that I am speaking by authority of the governing body, or
they would not feel inclined to make any gifts to a State
institution without fore-knowledge that it would be acceptable.
Mr. Carruthers will explain any details connected with
the situation. I am hoping to have a wire from you by
Wednesday night, Hotel Wolcott, 31st Street, New York, authorizing
me to present the inclosed application. It was
specifically stated that action indicating the purpose to make
this application by the Executive Committee would be sufficient. On behalf of the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, I am submitting, through you,
to the General Education Board, an application for an
appropriation of $50,000, to be applied to salary increases
of the instructional staff in the University during the
academic years 1921-22, 1922-23, 1923-24. It is desired
to use the sum asked for both to relieve the present salary
situation as regards increases already made and to make such
further increases as would tend to stabilize justly the
present salary schedule and to afford relief to those manifestly
underpaid. The University expects to obtain the necessary
funds within the time mentioned to take the place
of this grant in order that they may guarantee the permanence
of the increased scale and to increase it in so far as that
may appear resonable and helpful to the institution. Pursuant to our conversation in Mr. Scott's
office last Wednesday, the following is the estimate of the
epxenses of the Endowment Fund campaign which I was to
supply you. You will understand of course, that it is very
difficult to make a close estimate, because we much be
ready to meet conditions as they arise, which may call for
additional and unforeseen expense: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

under date of May 31st, 1921, - Please pardon my delay in making formal answer to your
telegram of May 31st, but I have been in the midst of Centennial,
and this is the morning after. In pursuance of our conference, I beg you
will convey to the Rector and Visitors my purpose, if it be
in accord with their wishes, to give the sum of $200,000
for the establishment and maintenance within the University
of Virginia of a School or Department of Commerce and Finance,
utilizing as far as possible the basis of such School or
Department now in existence. The purpose of this school
or department shall be to give such training for the career
of business as will give our youth knowledge and skill in
that field, and will inculcate in them those habits of economy
and integrity upon which our whole economic life depends.
The conditions I deem it wise to put upon this gift are the
following:- I had the honor to transmit your communication
of May 30th, to the Rector and Visitors at their annual
meeting on May 31st, 1921. The farseeing gift which it
announces was accepted by them unanimously and with deep
appreciation of the wisdom of the purpose for which the
endowment is intended. I was directed by them to express to
you their apprediation and gratitude for this new manifestation
of your wisdon and beneficence. They begged me to
assure you that they were accepting this gift mindful of all
the conditions named by you which they consider wise and helpful
conditions. It will be their purpose to carry out your
wishes rigidly and to seek by all just means to develop the
great new department which this endowment makes possible in
the life of the University. I need not assure you of my
own personal appreciation of the greatness and wisdom of your
services to this institution in its effort to serve the youth
of this and other generations. The Committee appointed by the Board of Visitors of
the University of Virginia to investigate and report upon
a site and plans for the proposed new gymnasium met at the

of the Architectural Commission met at the University to
consider sites and recommend a site for the Gymnasium. The Architectural Commission has considered and studied
at length all phases of the gymnasium problem and now submits
these plans which, in our unanimous professional judgment,
are the most economical solution which meets all the
obligatory requirements. We submit an approximate estimate of
cost prepared by Mr. W. P. Thurston, the Richmond contractor,
in the sum of $259,000.00. On this basis we recommend
that the Board authorize the preparation of working
drawings and specifications on which bids for the work
may be secured. According to general plans and specifications of
the central heating system, prepared by myself and adopted
by the engineering faculty, construction will go
forward, as funds become available, in three sections.
The first section, to be installed for $60,000 now
available, comprises: ATTENTION Mr. Chas. Hancock On October 10th, 1921 the Common Council of the

President of the University of Virginia. It is the work of
Eugene Speicher, of New York, a noted artist and portrait painter.
The portrait is the joint gift of many alumni, members of the

of your kind letter, in which you announce the presentation
to the Rector and Visitors, by a joint group of alumni,
members of the faculty, and friends of the University and of

of Virginia. Please find attached hereto a petition signed by
sixteen of your professors living north of the University
who request that we build a small waiting room at the end
of our car line on Rugby Road, near the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway. My mother, sisters, brother and myself
are planning to make a contribution to the Centennial
Endowment Fund, which we wish to take the shape of a
memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White.
It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection
with the Law School. As we do not know how it could be
best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion
from you. The fund will be available early in May and will
be about $10,000.00. I have your letter of the 7th inst.,
and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure
and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University
to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father.
It so happened that we served together on the Board of
Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know
something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally
pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection
with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I
am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st
of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming.
Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential. Please find enclosed the following
checks: The Trustees of the Austin Estate held for a number
of years a mortgage from the heirs of Elizabeth C. Blackbird.
A year ago last December the mortgage was paid off and we
executed a discharge of the same. The Carnegie Corporation has upon its books an
appropriation of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($1000,000)
to the University of Virginia on which it is at present paying
interest, all conditions in connection therewith having
been fulfilled by the University of Virginia. If satisfactory
to you, the Corporation will find it convenient to pay
this amount in cash on June thirtieth, together with the
regular quarterly payment of interest. I am sending you this
advance notice in order that you may make what arrangements
are necessary for the disposition of the funds. I have your communication of the 6th inst., informing
me that on June 30, the Corporation will find it
convenient to pay the amount of $100,000 to the University
of Virginia together with the regular quarterly payment of
interest. Confirming our conversation of this morning:The
Chi Phi Fraternity would like to lease for the purposes
of building a fraternity house, a plot of land on
Rugby Road between The Gymnasium and the Kappa Sigma house. Please refer to our letter of May 31st in which
we ask for a lease to a certain piece of land for the use of

on this date with the following members present: I have made very careful study
of the cost of heating to the University from the new central
station with a view to making recommendation as to a fair
distribution of charges for heat. In reference to E. W. James Estate Income I wish to express however haltingly - my deep appreciation
of the generous kindness you have shown me during
my illness, - a kindness which has made my sickness much
more tolerable and my recovery more certain and complete. When our Board of School Trustees decided recently
to erect a school for the colored population of this place the
most suitable site was found to be on the land now owned by
Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner. We asked Mr. Chaloner to donate
ten acres of land for this purpose. Mr. Chaloner considered
the matter carefully and decided he wanted to doit because of
his love for the people of Roanoke Rapids and his desire to do
something for the colored people of this section. He explained,
however, that he had made a deed of this land to
the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia but that he
thought since he was to have the use of this land during his
lifetime that there would be no difficulty in conveying in fee
simple to our School Board. He suggested that we have our
lawyer investigate the case which has been done. Our attorney
advises that the most suitable way to convey this land is to
have a deed signed jointly by Mr. Chaloner and the proper
authorities from the two universities. I have just written
Dr. Chase to determine whether the University of North
Carolina would be willing to join with the University
of Virginia in making the deed. We asked for ten acres because
we thought that was the smallest part we could get
along with. Knowing your spirit and interest in the cause of
education I feel that you will understand our position and
that there will be little difficulty in getting the proper
acceptance of this arrangement. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
