Mr. Anderson presented for consideration of the Board copy of a resolution adopted October 6,
1948 by the Executive Committee of the Development Fund.
RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee of the University of Virginia Development Fund respectfully
suggest to the President of the University that he initiate a survey of all Publicity and
Public Relations undertakings now being carried on at, for and by the University. This would include
publications of the Department of Education, of the Medical School and of the Law School, the
Athletic Department, the Alumni Association, Cavalier Daily, Corks and Curls, and all other student
or University publications, as well as any special bulletins or publications that may be published
from time to time by specific groups, such as the Medical Alumni and Law Alumni, the "Board of
Aldermen" of the Library, Tracy W. McGregor Library.
This survey would include a study of the cost involved, the source of the funds, the personnel
and authorization of publications and the distribution involved.
The President stated that it would be impossible at this time to make such a survey.
It was suggested that the Development Fund might finance such a survey, and the President stated
that he would make available any records of the University needed for that purpose.
