Trinkle my formal resignation as a member of the
Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia.
I cannot refrain from writing at the same time to
express to you and the other members of the Board
my heartfelt appreciation of the delightful way in
which you welcomed me and made me so completely one
of yourselves. I value more than I can tell you
the association in so high a duty with men like those
on our Board. The meetings have been a pleasure and
a privilege. RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors having
learned with regret, of Dr. Emilie W. McVea's ill
health and resignation, deeply sensible of the loss
to the Board, and appreciating her many kindnesses
and courtesies, have appointed the undersigned committee

recover her health. At the forty-ninth meeting of the

was held on this date at 10 a.m., with the following members
present: Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott, Williams,
Walker and President Alderman. It is my sad duty to announce to the faculty and students
of the University the death of Professor Charles
Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend
sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing
the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial
held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed
on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of
June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial,
wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated
to the University of Virginia toward its program of
research in the Social Sciences. I shall present
this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the
University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall
at that time convey their expression, as the Governing
Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of
this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally
assure you of my own profound sense of obligation
to you for the patient thought you have given to the
matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry
out the work which this money is intended to promote,
with the very highest desire to have the exact thing
that the Board intends to get done in our American
life. At a meeting of the committee representing
the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously
voted to offer to the University the support of a Research
Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise
$4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair.
We decided to specify history because we feel that it will
make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a
position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary
to establishing this Chair with the authorities of
the University. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8 p.m., with Messrs. Walker, Hull, Williams,
Mrs. Munford and President Alderman present. Your committee on the New Medical Buildings
recommends to the President that the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia authorize
their Buildings Committee to enter into an agreement
to carry forward the construction of the Central
Heating Plant for the New Medical Building in accordance
with the proposals submitted by Mr. J. A. Almirall,
hereto attached. The proposals include one boiler
for the University and a building for the whole former
plant to inclose another boiler and electrical
equipment for lighting the University, therefor the
University is to pay $35,000 and the Medical Building
Fund is to pay $50,000. The Medical Building Fund
will loan $35,000 to the University to be repaid later. At the meeting which the writer had with you
yesterday morning, relative to the installation of
new boiler at Central Power Plant, he left with you
the two letters dated February 9th and February 11th
which had previously been written concerning this
subject. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

held on this date at 8 p.m., lasting until 11:30 p.m.,
when adjournment was had to the morning of April 23rd
at 9 o'clock. After due deliveration and careful study, supplemented
by a personal interview with several agricultural
experts at V. P. I., the committee on "Blandy Experimental
Farm" is of the opinion that the tentative educational program
submitted below is practical, and furthermore, that it
will (1) comply with the will of the donor, (2) be a service
to the people of the State, and (3) will not conflict with
the work which is now being done at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. In light of these facts then, the following
recommendations are made: I beg to advise that, pursuant to instructions
given me at the March 1st meeting of the Board, I
called on Bentley W. Warren and Irvin McD. Garfield,
trustees of the Estate of Arthur W. Austin, on April
11th and received from them the corpus of the estate
consisting of the following: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Muir bequest has been received and delivered to
the State-Planters Bank & Trust Company, of
Richmond, Va., in accordance with resolution adopted
at the meeting of the Board April 22, and that
formal contract for the care of same, similar to

and monies to be held by the University under will

on this date at 8:00 P. M., being continued on the
morning of the 26th at 10 o'clock, with the following
members present: Visitors A. C. Carson, Hart, Hull, McIntire,
Rinehart, Scott and Williams, and the Rector C.
Harding Walker, and President Alderman. All members present
at the morning session except Mr. Hull. For a number of years it has been the policy of the
University to pay the salaries of its administrative
officers and members of the teaching staff, above the grade
of instructor, on a yearly basis in monthly installments
on the first of each month. This practice arose from
the payment of salaries to its professors in large part
from the fees from their respective students, being made
in quarterly payments. Later this was changed to five
payments per session and, finally, to monthly payments
in advance when students' fees were no longer allocated
to professors' stipends. This policy of payments in
advance was also justified by reason of the fact that the
State's appropriation to the University was received in
monthly allotments on the first of each month for the
current month. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
