University of Virginia Library

SCHOOL OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE

President Darden stated that he had invited Mr. William M. Simpson, distinguished
sculptor of Norfolk, to visit the University to discuss the possibility of accepting a position
on the faculty of the School of Painting and Sculpture. Mr. Simpson stated to Mr. Darden that we
could not begin to do the work in sculpture by simply appointing a professor, he pointed out that
the costs would be considerable, since live models of professional grade would be necessary.

Mr. Darden has asked President Combs of Mary Washington College if a joint program could
be worked out to use some members of the Mary Washington faculty on a part-time basis here at the
University.

Mrs. Wailes moved the adoption of the following resolution which was passed:

RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that the University
collaborate with Mary Washington College in the establishment of a class in sculpture and that
President Darden continue to attempt to arrange with Mr. William M. Simpson to accept a position on
the faculty.
