office of the President. There were present the Rector, R. Gray Williams, Visitors James H. Corbitt,
Christopher B. Garnett, Miss Bessie C. Randolph, Hollis Rinehart and Beverley D. Tucker, Jr., and
President Newcomb. I am writing in the name of the Rector and Board of Visitors of the University
of Virginia to request you to authorize them to create a deficit in the sum of $25,000
for the construction of the West Extension of the University of Virginia Hospital, putting
this additional $25,000 as a recommended appropriation in your Budget to the General
Assembly of 1940. This means that the Legislative Appropriation of $250,000 for the
construction of this building would be increased to $275,000. Mr. Frederic W. Scott became chairman of the Finance Committee of this Board in 1921 and
continued in that position until his death in October, 1939. During this long period of eighteen years
Mr. Scott gave his great ability and large experience to the investment and management of the funds of
the University that are under the control of this Board. You asked me last Friday to send you and each member of the Finance Committee of the
University of Virginia Board of Visitors a copy of a portion of a letter written by me last
August 18th to Mr. Fred W. Scott in which I summarized certain figures in regard to the handling
of the Endowment Funds of the University in past years. I am, therefore, quoting below all of
the letter which I read you that concerns the above matters omitting only certain personal matters
contained at the end of my letter. At the request of the Rector, I am submitting herewith a statement upon the
subject of the authority, duties, and liabilities of the Board of Visitors in connection
with investment of funds belonging to the University, primary consideration being given to
the question of whether the Board of Visitors shall be confined in making investments of
University funds to so-called "lawful investments" or whether, in the exercise of a sound
discretion, the Board may, without liability to its members, place the funds of the
University in securities not included within the list of such "lawful investments" as
defined by Section 5431 of the Code of Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Christopher B. Garnett, C. O'Conor Goolrick, and Dabney S. Lancaster, and President Newcomb. Pursuant to your resolution of October 3, 1942, your Hearing Board, appointed in
accordance with your resolution, met on October 23, 1942, at the Colonnade Club at
the University, elected a Chairman, and had a general discussion of the subject under
consideration. Upon the call of the Chairman, your Board met at Madison Hall at the
University, at 10.30 A. M., November 30, 1942, after public notice had been given
that all interested persons were invited to attend and make statements. No interested
persons appeared, so, at the suggestion of some of the members, the heads of all the
student departments and the Student Senate were invited to appear and make statements.
During the afternoon session, most of those invited did appear and make statements,
as did several others. The Committee then adjourned to meet in Madison Hall at 10:30
A. M., December 12th. Similar public notice of this meeting was given, with an invitation
to all interested persons to appear and make statements. Notice of this
meeting was also given by the Chairman to the Governor of Virginia, with an invitation
to him to be present or to furnish the Board with any statement or information which
he thought it should consider. The Governor expressed his appreciation of this invitation,
which he declined, stating that he had recently met with your Committee,
composed of Messrs. Stettinius, Corbitt and Williams, and expressed generally his views
in reference to the matters under consideration. At this meeting of the Board, a
number of interested persons appeared and made statements. Before its adjournment,
the Board heard all person who appeared and expressed a desire to be heard. All
statements made at Board meetings were stenographically transcribed, and a transcript
of all statements made is filled herewith. As will appear from the transcript,
no person appeared and advocated the abolition of the practice of students living in
fraternity houses. As it appeared that full notice had been given to the public,
and that all persons who wished to appear and make statements had been heard, your
Board did not deem it necessary to hold further public hearings. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
