 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: The Rector, Barron F. Black; President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., of the University of Virginia; Dr. M. L. Combs, President of Mary Washington College; Visitors Emmett, Gay, Howard, Mears and Willis. Absent: Visitors Anderson, Barksdale, Carrington, Garnett, Gravatt, Smith, Talbott and Wailes. I am writing you by direction of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of The Corcoran Gallery of Art to present a formal request that the University of Virginia be so gracious as to provide space in its art museum building for a selected group of the most valuable works of art in the collections of The Corcoran Gallery of Art in the event that the international situation seems to require the removal of these irreplaceable treasures from the city of Washington. It is my understanding, based on two discussions with you and with Mr. O'Neal, the Acting Director of the Museum, that this action would be endorsed by you provided that we release the University from all liability for loss or damage from any cause whatsoever to any of the works of art which might be housed in the University, and provided further that the University would not incur any expense in connection with the transportation or housing of the works of art in question. Both of these above points are completely satisfactory to the Gallery.
