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 |

10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M., with intermission for lunch, followed by a
session on the morning of the 12th which convened at 9:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees
of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers
presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of
the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's
cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical
and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums
now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required
eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry,
physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning
with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the
University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums
for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years
the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure
of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed
dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for
the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be
and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in
location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of
$103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the
State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the
Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds
were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of
course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a
lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

8 o'clock P. M., with the Rector, Hon. C. Harding Walker, Visitors D. D. Hull, Jr.,
Harris Hart, Lewis C. Williams, Paul G. McIntire, Hollis Rinehart, Fred W. Scott,
A. C. Carson, and Mrs. M. C. B. Munford, and President Alderman, present. On October 13th, I wrote you with reference to the Blandy
estate, and stated that the final settlement of this estate shows the
corpus of the trust fund set aside by the will of Graham F. Blandy,
deceased, from which his widow is to receive the income during her lifetime,
and which passes to the University at her death, amounts to $971,486.12. I beg to enclose herewith copy of final decree which has been
entered in the Circuit Court of Clarke County in the Chancery Cause of
Georgette H. Blandy v. The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia. You will observe that this decree finally determines the fact
that the University of Virginia has complied with all the conditions
specified in the will of Graham F. Blandy as conditions precedent to the
vesting of title in The Rector and Visitors of the University in the land
devised to the University by the will of Graham F. Blandy, deceased. The dormitories and academic building have been let to contract
