 Description: A called meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this 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:

Oliver, Alexander F. Robertson, Fred W. Scott, C. Harding Walker and President Alderman. In response to your invitation the undersigned members 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 City of Charlottesville appointed a committee composed of J. R. Morris, Chairman; W. M. Forrest; City Mgr., Walter Washabaugh and J. P. Greaver to make thorough investigation of the water situation in Charlottesville, and to get up plans and specifications for filter and aeration plant.
