ENGINEERING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The President presented a request from the recently organized Engineering Alumni Association
for financial assistance. The following resolution was adopted.

WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia
that interested alumni of the Department of Engineering of the University of Virginia met in
June, 1949, elected officers and initiated a program designed to establish and develop a permanent
association of the alumni of the Engineering School of the University, and

WHEREAS, the Board of Visitors believes that the establishment of a permanent association
of the engineering alumni of the University of Virginia will afford enlarged opportunity for its members
to render constructive and valuable service to the University and particularly to the Engineering
School;

Now, therefore, upon the request of the officers of said association, elected as above
mentioned, and in order to encourage this endeavor and to foster its success,

Be it resolved that, in the event the dues and other contributions coming into the hands
of those who have taken the responsibility of developing and establishing said association of engineering
alumni shall not be sufficient to meet the expenses incident thereto, the Board of Visitors
doth agree to make available from proper funds under its control, the sum of not exceeding Three
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($350.00) for any deficiency of expenses incurred by the officers of said
association as aforesaid for the year January 1, 1950 through December 31, 1950.
