ADMISSION OF WOMEN

At the June meeting of the Board the President and Secretary were asked to draft an
appropriate resolution for submission at the July meeting to provide for the admission of daughters
of faculty members to the College of Arts and Sciences.

Prior to the July meeting, the President was asked to secure the opinion of members of
the Alumni Board of Managers concerning this matter, and also have the Secretary write various
institutions who do not normally admit women, concerning their policy on the admission of daughters
of faculty members.

The vote of the Alumni Board of Managers was 7 for the admission of daughters of faculty
members and 8 against, with one member not heard from. After discussion of the matter, the Board
adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED that the daughters of faculty members who live in the homes of their families
in Charlottesville, be admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences.

Mr. Talbott and Mr. Gay asked to be recorded as voting against the above resolution.

On motion the meeting was then adjourned.
