RESIGNATION OF DEAN LIPPARD

The following resolution concerning the resignation of Dean Vernon W. Lippard was
adopted.

RESOLVED THAT WHEREAS the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia has received
from the President of the University the resignation of Dean Vernon W. Lippard, and has regretfully
accepted it;

AND WHEREAS the Board is not willing to let this occasion pass without a proper recognition
of the great and valuable services rendered by Dean Lippard to the Medical School of the University
of Virginia, and to the University itself;

NOW THEREFORE, this Board records its gratitude and appreciation for the significant
contribution made by Dean Lippard to the effective organization of the Medical School and to the
harmony of the Medical Faculty, with the resultant improvement in the general standing of the
Medical School, made all the more remarkable because of Dean Lippard's comparatively short service
as head of the Medical School, and constituting in itself a tribute to the ability, tact, diplomacy
and wisdom of the man.

The Board further desires to evidence by this resolution the hopes of each member of the
Board for the success of Dean Lippard in his work at Yale University.

It is ordered that a copy of this resolution be spread on the minutes of the Board, thus
making it a permanent record, and that another copy, attested by the Secretary of the Board, be
sent to Dean Lippard.
