University of Virginia Library

The Committee on the Consolidation of Mary Washington College with the University of Virginia is
not yet ready to present a full report. However, in order that the conversion of Mary Washington into a
liberal arts college may proceed without delay during the coming biennium, we submit the following recommendations
for action at this time:

• (1) That the salary scale for faculty members of Mary Washington for the next biennium be:

         

  Instructors from	$ 1800 to $ 2300
  Assistant Professors from	$ 2400 to $ 2900
  Associate Professors from	$ 3000 to $ 3400
  Professors from	$ 3500 to $ 4800

• (1a) That contracts with faculty members be made from year to year until the consolication is complete.

• (2) That President Combs in consultation with the Chancellor decide on the new positions which are to be
  created for the first and second years of the next biennium, subject, of course, to the approval of
  the Rector and Visitors.

  We recognize the fact that an educational institution is seriously handicapred without an adequate
  library with good library service. As a college of liberal arts the library facilities of Mary
  Washington must be improved, and we recommend, therefore:

• (3) That provision be made in the budget of Mary Washington College for an annual library appropriation
  of $50,000. These sums are to be used for increases in library personnel, and for increases in
  books, magazines, binding, supplies, equipment, et cetera, under the direction of the librarian.
