BAYLY-TIFFANY SCHOLARSHIPS

President Darden presented a petition addressed to the Board by the University Committee
on Scholarships, requesting the Board to establish and to "state explicitly the criteria under
which Bayly-Tiffany awards are to be made, and to give adequate publicity to this statement in
the Eastern Shore area." A copy of the petition and the legal opinions enclosed with it were
distributed to members of the Board.

The Board resolved that The Rector appoint a committee of the Board to act on the
petition and report back to the Board. Mr. Black appointed to this committee Miss Wheeler,
Mr. Mears, and Mr. Gravatt, Chairman.
