| | Description: | The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia was held on this date in the Office of the President of Mary Washington College,
Fredericksburg, Virginia, with the following present: President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., of the University
of Virginia; Dr. M. L. Combs, President of Mary Washington College; Visitors Anderson, Barksdale,
Black, Carrington, Garnett, Gay, Gravatt, Mears, Smith, Talbott, Trout, Wailes, and Willis. Absent:
Miller. Twenty-four years have elapsed since I left the University, '25. It has been 28 years (1921)
since the first boxing team was organized at Charlottesville. It is still a source of considerable
pleasure and pride, to me, that I was a member of that first team. I am also happy to have been Captain
of two of Virginia's successful teams in the early 'twenties, and the University's representative
on the American Olympic Boxing Team, to Paris, France during 1924. At the meeting of the Compliance Committee held April 7, 8, and 9 at Savannah, Georgia it
was voted to extend until July 1, 1949 the date by which it will be necessary for you to advise us
in regard to compliance with the Code. If you are intending to take steps which will result in compliance,
it is still necessary that these steps be taken prior to September 1, 1949. |
