| Description: | The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia met on this date at 9:00
A.M. in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with the
following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden,
Jr., Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson, and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Gravatt,
Gray, Greear, Hartfield, McWane, Martin, Paschall, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith,
and Miss Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Emmett and Jones. With the last wage increase, the maintenance costs of our
dormitories will be greater than the revenue. I believe that we should
raise our charges $25 per student for all accomodations. This would make
the charge in the new dormitories $200 instead of the present $175. Basis for the request for an increase in the Student Health Service
medical fee from $20 to $25 beginning in the Session 1958-1959. At a called meeting of the University Senate on October 3, 1957 the
following programs were presented for final review and were approved. I
should like now to recommend them to your office for submission to the
Board of Visitors for its approval. |
