McINTIRE BEQUEST

A proposal to sell items of jewelry in the McIntire bequest appearing in the docket,
President Darden noted that this matter had been settled by a vote of the Board on 10 April 1953
authorizing the appraisal and sale of the jewelry, the matter to be referred back to the Board
if the appraised value could not be realized

The Rector informed the Board that he had been consulted during President Darden's absence
by Mr. C. Venable Minor, the University's Attorney, regarding pending litigation as to the disposal
of surplus income from trusts created by the late Paul Goodloe McIntire. Because he agreed with
Mr. Minor that the matter could not be delayed, he had approved the employment of Col. Joseph
Hartfield, of New York, to act on behalf of the University. It was thereupon resolved that
the Rector's action had the full approval of the Board.
