The Annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held
on this date at 9:30 a.m. with the Rector, C. Harding Walker,
Visitors Hall, Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott and
Williams, and President Alderman Present.

The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved.

The Rector announced to the Board that it had come
to his attention the presidency of the University of Georgia
had been tendered to Dr. Alderman and that he had declined,
whereupon the following motion was unanimously adopted:

The Rector presented the following letter from Miss
Emilie W. McVea with respect to her resignation as a member
of the Board.

Following the reading of the foregoing communication
from the Rector appointed Messrs. McIntire, Williams, and
Hall a Special Committee to prepare and send to Miss McVea
a resolution setting forth the Board's appreciation of her
service to the University, the same to be spread upon the
minutes.

The President announced the attendence and gifts, as
follows:

Total enrollment for the year 1946.

From the estate of Katherine B. Blackwood, of New York,
the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), to the University

of Virginia, Alma Mater of her brother, E. S. Blackwood,
to be known as the "E. S. Blackwood Memorial Fund".

From Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean, of Washington,
D. C., to the Law Library of the University, Chancellor
George Wythe's own copy of Wythe's reports, the first
folio edition published in 1795.

From former students and other friends, a portrait
of Dean W. M. Thornton, of the Engineering School, painted
by Mr. Charles Hopkinson, a distinguished artist of Boston,
Mass.

Through the generous gift of Mr. William Andrews
Clark, Jr., alumnus, of Los Angeles, Calif., the University
has been made a sustaining member of the American Academy
in Rome. $250.00 annually is the gift. This provides
our art graduates opportunity in advanced work without
cost of tuition:- (use of libraries and studios and instruction
in fine arts. — music, painting, sculpture, architecture,
archaeology, and classical studies).

From the Seven Society the sum of Seventy-seven
dollars and seventy-seven cents, to be used for the
University as the President thinks best.

From Mr. Iredall Jenkins, of Norfolk, Va., about
one hundred Operas (Piano and Vocal scores) old and
valuable editions; seventy-five Oratorios and Cantatas;
several Light Operas; seventy volumes of miscellaneous works
for the piano and Song Collections, to the Department of
Music.

When the appointments were being made to sundry
scholarships, list of which will be found spread in these
minutes, there were certain worthy applicants who could not
receive appointments and, in order that further aid be
afforded the following gifts were announced by the respective
donors:

Mr. Rinehart announced it his intention to endow a
scholarship by a gift of $5,000 in either cash or bonds
to provide an annual income of $300; the said scholarship
to be known as the RINEHART SCHOLARSHIP, to be awarded
to a needy boy of Albemarle County or the City of Charlottesville.

Mr. McIntire stated that if the Board would establish
two additional Rector and Visitors Scholarships for the
session of 1925-26 with remission of University fee and
tuition in any department of the University, he would donate

the sum of $200 to be divided equally between the two
holders. Such action was taken by the Board and will be
found spread in these minutes.

Mr. Scott announced that in view of the uncertainty
of the income for the Woodrow Wilson Scholarship to be
established by the Virginia Division of the Daughters of
the Confederacy with an annual income of $500, being
received during the session of 1925-26, he would guarantee
said sum for the session.

The President was authorized to express the thanks of
the Board to the foregoing donors.

The resignation of Prof. L. Tucker Jones was presented
and accepted in the following motion, adopted:

The promotion of Asso. Prof. Albert W. Giles and Instructor
Charles Newton Hulvey, being recommended by the
President, were made in the following motions adopted:

Upon the recommendation of the President, the following
were elected to the teaching staff of the University, in the motions, adopted:

The President stated in connection with filling the
position of Dean of the Department of Medicine that he
was in correspondence with Dr. Waller S. Leathers with a
view to offering him the chair of Professor of Public
Health and the Deanship of the Department, at a salary of
$5,000. The President was empowered by the Board to make
the appointment in case Dr. Leathers could be secured.

On motion, duly made and seconded, the following

The Committee from the Medical Department appointed
by the President to formulate rules and regulations for
awarding the Dr. J. Shelton Horsley Memorial Prize in
Medicine presented its recommendations which, on motion,
duly made and seconded, were adopted as follows:

THE JOHN HORSLEY MEMORIAL PRIZE.

University of Virginia.

This prize was established in February, 1925, by
Dr. J. Shelton Horsley of Richmond, Virginia, a
distinguished alumnus, as a memorial to his father,
Mr. John Horsley of Nelson County, Virginia.

The Prize consists of two years' interest on
$10,000 in 5% bonds and will therefore be presumptively
$1,000. It is to be awarded every two years
by a committee of the Medical Faculty of the University
of Virginia for a thesis upon some subject in
general surgery. The term "general surgery" is used
in a broad way and includes the specialties commonly
associated with general surgery such as orthopedic
surgery, urology and gynecology but not the specialties
of the surgery of the eye, ear, nose and throat which
have developed along lines which differentiate them
markedly from general surgery.

The object of the prize is to stimulate an
interest in the scientific aspects of surgery. In
the past there has been some tendency to glorify
the mechanical technic of surgery, and perhaps some
neglect of its underlying scientific features. The
donor wishes particularly to stimulate an interest
in the underlying biologic principles with the hope
that surgeons may not become mere operators but be
imbued with a scientific spirit which will contribute
to the advancement of surgical knowledge.

With this view the essay should be on surgical
problem, the solution of which depends solely or in
large part upon research work, (preferably original
research) in some branch of pathology, bacteriology,
physiology, biochemistry or embryology.

All graduates of the Medical Department of the
University of Virginia of not more than fifteen
years standing are eligible for this prize and are

invited to submit theses. In the discretion of the
committee the prize may be awarded for work done by
a medical graduate of the University of Virginia
in collaboration with a non-alumnus of this institution
but in such case the award will be given to the Virginia
graduate alone.

The prize is to be awarded bi-ennially at the
final exercises of the University of Virginia, by a
committee consisting of the Dean of the Medical
School of the University of Virginia, the professor
of surgery, the professor of pathology, the professor
of physiology, the professor of biochemistry and the
professor of histology and embryology. The decision
will be made by a majority vote. In no instance shall
a thesis be awarded a prize unless it contains work
that is deemed worthy. If no essay is considered
worthy the prize shall not be awarded and the accumulated
interest will be added to the principal. After two
years theses will again be examined for an award but
it is not at present intended that the prize shall exceed
one thousand dollars.

The theses must be submitted to the committee
in typewritten form and work that has not been previously
published will be preferred. If the work
has been previously published it must be presented
in a new form. The committee will make suitable
arrangements for the publication of the theses.

All theses entered in this competition must be
in the hands of the committee on February 1st, of the
year in which the prize is to be awarded. They should
be addressed to the Dean of the Medical School of
the University of Virginia

The prize is to be awarded for the first time in
June 1927, therefore the theses should be presented
not later then February 1st, of that year.

Upon the recommendation of Dr. W. A. Lambeth, Director
of Physical Education the following was adopted:

Applications for sites for fraternity houses by the
Omicron Chapter of Beta Theta Pi; the Beta Chapter of Sigma
Nu, and the Delta Sigma Phi were referred to the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds.

Petition of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity for an extension
of one year from June 15th, 1925 in which to raise the
required $25,000 to fulfill the requirement of the University
for site for its chapter house, was granted.

The report of the Bursar on his investigation of the
two tracts of land and the deed of trust belonging to the
Coffinberry Estate bequeathed to the University of Virginia,
having been presented and considered it is

The Committee appointed by the President to formulate
plans of co-operation between the University of Virginia
and the Charlottesville Public Schools with reference to
professional matters in the field of Education, submitted
its report which, on motion, duly made and seconded
was adopted in the following form:

I. Practice Teaching and Observation.

1. An officer to be in charge of directed
teaching and observation from the Department of
Education of the University of Virginia in the
Charlottesville City Schools and to act as supervisor

of instruction in the Charlottesville High
School.

2. Said officer to be selected through the
joint action of the Board of Visitors of the University
of Virginia and the Charlottesville School Board,
the chosen officer to be elected by the Board
of Visitors as an Assistant Professor of Education
with a salary of $1,500 and to be elected by the
Charlottesville School Board as a Supervisor of Instruction
in the Charlottesville High School at a
salary of $1,000.00.

3. The duties of said officer to be a matter
of agreement between the University of Virginia
and the Charlottesville City School Board. The
committee would suggest that said officer be held
responsible for the following duties;

(a). To teach Education Bill (Directed Teaching)
to all candidates for baccalaureate degrees who expect
to apply for state certificates to teach in Virginia
secondary schools. This of course will involve
arranging schedules for observation and teaching
for these students.

(b). To co-operate with the instructors of the
various sections of Education B10 (Methods of teaching
High School Subjects). This will involve the arrangement
of schedules for observation in the secondary
schools in order that the students may observe instruction
in their major academic subject.

(c). To co-operate with the high school principal
in general supervision of high school work, plans for
this phase of the work to be agreed upon in conference
and approved by the City School Board.

II. Co-operation suggested for the Charlottesville Public Schools and the Schools of Educational Psychology, Secondary Education and School Administration.

1. Educational Psychology:

The Professor of Educational Psychology, (1)
upon request of the school authorities, to study and
report upon problems of the school system which present
psychological aspects, and (2) to examine children referred
to him by the school authorities, with a view
to diagnosing their abilities or disabilities.

(To carry out No. 2, an examining room should be
provided in one of the school buildings, and the work
would probably be facilitated if the Professor of
Educational Psychology were officially designated
Special Examiner of the Schools.)

The work of the Professor of Educational
Psychology in the schools to be attended and participated
in by advanced students of spychology, at his direction,
with a view to training such students in psychological
methods.

2. Secondary Education:

Permission for and plans of co-operation with school
authorities with reference to the program of studies
in the Charlottesville High School. Professional
students in Secondary Education should have the opportunity
of carrying on research studies in the city
schools that meet with the approval of the Superintendent
of Schools and the Professor of Secondary
Education.

3. School Administration:

It should be of advantage to the School of
Educational Administration to co-operate with the
public schools of Charlottesville in acquainting
the students in Education with the technical
aspects of the administration and management of the
city school system. Likewise, it should be of advantage
to the city school system to confer and
advise with the School of Educational Administration
concerning these matters. Professional students in
school administration should be afforded an opportunity
of carrying on research studies in the city schools
on such problems of administration and supervision as
the city superintendent from time to time wishes studied

4. Summer Quarter:

It is agreed that the foregoing general plan of
co-operation applies also to the Summer Quarter.

The Committee to which was referred the proposed changes
in the registrations concerning registration as a Virginia
student, submitted its recommendation in the following, which,
on motion, duly seconded, was adopted:

The President submitted statements for Dr. Lambeth and
Prof. Hudnut concerning reconstruction of Medical Building.
Following a general discussion of the matter, the following
motion, duly made and seconded, was adopted:

The question of providing fire escapes at Cabell
Hall was referred to the above special committee for report.

The suggestions by Dean Maphis of the Summer Quarter
for Convocation or Graduating Exercises at the close of the
Summer Quarter, as embodied in the following motion, duly
made and seconded, was adopted:

The following communication received from Dr. W. E.
Brown, was considered and on motion, duly made and seconded,
the suggested division of the appropriation heretofore made
to the Blue Ridge Sanatorium was approved:

On motion, duly made and seconded, the following was
adopted:

Petition of Mr. Russell Bradford, Secretary of the
Collonnade Club, to be allowed to buy a lot in the University
Cemetery was granted.

The Rector read a letter which he had received from
Mrs. Josie W. Rhodes in which she again asserted her claim
to some further payment on account of her services as Manager
of the University Cafeteria. The letter was tabled and
ordered filed.

The Rector stated that a friend of Mrs. Theodore Hough
had approached him in the matter of further payments to her
on account of Prof. Theodore Hough's salary. The President
advised the Board that the salary of Prof. Hough had been
continued to his widow for four months from November 30,
1924, the date of Prof. Hough's death, which it was thought
would be fair and just. Following some discussion of the
matter the following motion, duly made and seconded, was
adopted:

W. Allen Perkins, Attorney for the University, reported
that leases had been prepared with Mrs. Elizabeth Glinn
for the two houses for use as nurses Home, in accordance with
the resolution of the Board at the meeting April 19th, 1925,

Said leases expire April 30, 1928, with the right to renew
them for two years.

Mr. Perkins called attention to the fact that the
statute laws effecting the University of Virginia, prepared
by Mr. Berkeley Minor and his son, Jas. F. Minor,
were now ready for printing, whereupon the following
motion, duly made and seconded, was adopted:

The President was requested to prepare a resolution
of appreciation of the services of the State Nurses Association
in raising a fund to endow a chair of Nursing at
the University of Virginia.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, and after discussion
it was

Upon the recommendation of the Chairman of the Finance
Committee that a further loan be granted the Chi Phi Fraternity
to complete the financing of its chapter house located on
the grounds of the University, the following, being duly
seconded, was adopted:

The Chairman of the Finance Committee stated to the
Board that in the B. W. Green Estate and the R. L. Parrish
Estate there were five lots of bank stock aggregating
602 shares with book value of $116,580, the present market
value of which is $135,415 with a profit to the said funds
of $18,835, and that in his judgment the said stock
should be disposes of and the proceeds reinvested in bonds,
whereupon it was

The Attorney for the University was authorized to
prepare a new lease covering a site granted to Zeta
Psi Fraternity on Fugby Road made necessary by certain
changes in its plans for construction of the chapter house.

On motion, duly made and seconded, the following was
adopted:
