LOMAX GWATHMEY BEQUEST:

The Rector presented a letter he had received from the National Bank of Norfolk, Trustee
under the will of Lomax Gwathmey, submitting a copy of an agreement entered into in 1928 between
the said parties, in which the University of Virginia is the remainderman, and a copy of a supplemental
agreement giving the Trustee the power to sell, convey, rent, lease, assign, transfer, or exchange
any asset of the trust estate, real or personal, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, etc.
The communication called attention to the absence in the original agreement of any authority to
handle real estate and, that as several pieces have since been given the trustee, it should be
amended to take care of the situation, and incidentally of some other difficulties. The amended
agreement was referred to the attorney for the University for examination and, if approved by him,
the President and Secretary were authorized to execute same on behalf of the University.
