University of Virginia Library

Instructors and Assistants

The application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow for permission to
build on University grounds was considered and declined as it
was deemed inexpedient to grant further leases at this time
of University land, to be used as sites for residences.

The question of providing suitable housing accomodations
for the faculty of the University was discussed and referred to
the Committee on Buildings and Grounds to study and report thereon
at a later meeting; and the Finance committee was requested to report
to the Buildings and Grounds Committee the amount of endowment
fund which may be available for use in the construction of residences
for professors, and the President was requested to communicate
with the Buildings and Grounds Committee the extent of the
need for such houses.

The Bursar brought to the attention of the Board that in
accordance with its action at a former meeting, he had provided
funds to meet the expenses of the Centennial Endowment Fund and
the Centennial celebration and asked for action on the part of
the Board to reimburse his current funds for the amounts so
expended, whereupon the following resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED, That the Trustees of the Alumni Endowment Fund
will pay to the Bursar of the University such sums of money as
may have been spent by him in accordance with the resolutions
of this Board.

Dr. Hugh Young presented, on behalf of the Medical Alumni,

RESOLVED, That all the documents submitted to the Rector
and Visitors in relation to the consolidation of the medical
schools in Virginia be speedily copied and copies forwarded to
