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., and
Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Fenwick, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Lantor, Montague, Jones, McWane,
Martin, Pollock, Smith, and Wheeler. Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson and Bursar Edgar E. Woodward
were present throughout consideration of Mary Washington College matters. Absent: Visitors
Paschall (who had an urgent conflicting engagement) and Smith (who was in Charlottesville,
though unwell, and participated in the work of three Board committees during the week-end) I wish to submit herewith my resignation as President of the University, to be
effective as soon as the Board has selected a new President and he is prepared to take
over the duties of this office On May 8 you requested me to find out from the local committee at Wise about what
suggestions they had on the location of the auditorium authorized by the Assembly last
winter. The committee at Wise has two recommendations first, that Mr. Charles B.
McElroy be employed as architect on the gymnasium-auditorium, second, that the gymnasium-auditorium
be located on the site between the Coeburn Road and the building now used for
faculty apartments (the Old Detention Home) I should like to recommend two changes in the present TIAA-CREF annuity program, which
should be presented to the Board if you approve. The Student Council wishes to submit the following traffic control recommendations for your
consideration I am enclosing a revised copy of the regulations governing use of motor vehicles by students
in the undergraduate schools of the University as approved unanimously by the Committee on
Undergraduates at its meeting on Friday, May 30, 1958. This meeting was also attended by Miss
Tyson from the School of Nursing and Mr. Nichols from the School of Architecture. I strongly
recommend adoption of these regulations by the Board of Visitors and propose that they take
effect with students entering in September, 1958. I feel that those sections dealing with
warning, probation, and conviction of drunken and/or reckless driving should become effective
for all undergraduate students in September, 1958 The Student Council at its meeting on May 19, 1958, unanimously passed the following
motion. To recommend that all students who register cars have compulsory insurance As you know, Prof. Vyssotsky is retiring this June. Approximately 25 years ago he
requested permission from the University to build a home near the observatory. President
Newcomb advised him that he would bring the matter to the Board of Visitors and secure a
lease for him. Mr. Vyssotsky said that he checked several times with Mr. Carruthers, who
was then Secretary of the Board, to see if any action had been taken. He was assured that
it would be forth coming and to proceed with the construction of his residence REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE FOR THE SESSION 1957-58 At the Annual meeting of the Trustees of McGregor Fund careful consideration was given to your
letter of April 28 and to a continuation of support of the Tracy W. McGregor Library at the
University. I am pleased to report that the Trustees appropriated $12,000 a year for each
of the five years commencing July 1, 1958, for accessions to the McGregor Library, and checks
will be forthcoming quarterly as in the past, commencing around July 1 | | | Similar Items: | Find |
