MILLER SCHOOL LOAN FUND

The President presented a resolution from the Trustees of the Miller School, as set
forth below, together with a letter from Mr. Venable Minor, Special Counsel for the University
of Virginia. The following is quoted from Mr. Minor's letter, "It is my opinion, based upon the
statements of Mr. Perry and of Mr. Miller, that this is not a trust fund and that the Board may
instruct the Bursar to turn this money over to the Miller School to be used for such purposes as
Mr. Perry may designate."

"WHEREAS, on the 3rd day of October, 1949, the Miller School of Albemarle delivered to
the University of Virginia as custodian the sum of $1,893.60, being a fund which had been given
to the Miller School by Dominion Theatres, Incorporated, for scholarship purposes, and

WHEREAS no candidates for scholarships have recently been available, and the likelihood
that any will be available is remote,

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Visitors of the Miller School of Albemarle that
The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia be, and they are hereby requested to return
the said fund to the Miller School of Albemarle."

Whereupon, a resolution was adopted that the funds be returned to the Miller School, in
accordance with the opinion of the Special Counsel for the University, as requested by the donor
of the fund, The Dominion Theatres, Inc.
