The President informed the Visitors that, in accordance with the authority delegated to him
by the Board on September 15th, he had appointed Mr. John Cook Wyllie to be University Librarian
as of October 1st. There now being a question as to Mr. Wyllie's status in the faculty, President
Darden requested authority to act on this matter after he should have an opportunity for
consultation with the Library Committee, with the Provost (who had raised the question), and with
the appropriate dean or deans.

The Board adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that Mr. John Cook Wyllie be and he is hereby elected Librarian of the University, effective as
from 1 October 1956, his faculty status to be determined by the President after consultation with
the Faculty Committee on the Library, with the Provost, and with the appropriate dean or deans.
