During the consideration of the Budget, Mr. Hart called
the attention of the Board to the probability of the appropriation
made by the Legislature to meet the requirements of the
Smith-Hughes Act not being available for the ensuing fiscal
year, owing to certain conditions which had arisen in the arrangements
for carrying out the provisions of the said Act; and,
after a general discussion, the matter was referred with power
to act to a committee consisting of the President, Dean Page
and Professor Maphis, with the request that they report at the
June meeting.

The question of the advisiability of entering into a contract

with the C. & A. Ry. Co. for theelectric current for
the University, with a view to the conservation of fuel, was
discussed and referred to a committee consisting of the
Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, and Professors Rodman
and Hancock to report their findings to the June meeting.

Mr. Michie reported that the Attorney for the University,
who had been requested by a former resolution of the Board to
compile the Acts of the Legislature in reference to the University,
stated that he had found that there were numerous Acts
in reference to the University since the last compilation
of the Laws of the University, and desired some instruction
as to the shape the Board desired them put in. The matter
was referred to the Dean of the Law School, with the request
that he confer with the Attorney for the University as to compiling
the Acts referred to, and also a compilation of a new
set of by-laws for the University.

The question of requiring students to room in the
University dormitories, so long as there may be any vacant, was
referred to a committee consisting of the President, Mr. Michie
and Mr. Bryan to report.

On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

University, Va.

June 10, 1918.

The annual June meeting of the Rector and Visitors was
held on this date with the following members present: Rector
Irvine and Visitors Hatton, Bryan, Norton and Robertson.

The minutes of the meeting of May 15th were approved.

Prof. J. L. Newcomb, representing the University in the
Training School for Motor Truck Drivers, appeared before the
Board in the matter of amending the existing contract with the
War Department as to the per-diem charge for said training,
housing and subsistence to cover the cost of erecting an additional
building to be used as a dining hall and kitchen, as the
combination buildings now being used for said purposes have
proven inadequate. After a full discussion of the matter it
was disposed of in the following, offered by Judge Norton
and adopted:

RESOLVED: First, That the Board is unwilling to change the
contract with the United States Government, entered into April
5th, 1918, except that the Board is willing to so modify said
contract as to remit to the Government, upon final settlement,
all profit; and Further, is willing to agree to pay for a
desired additional building in consideration of an advance
in the rate per man of five cents per day, and return to the
Government any profit made.

RESOLVED: Secondly, That G. R. B. Michie, John Stewart Bryan,
Prof. J. L. Newcomb and Allan Perkins be and they are hereby
appointed a Special Committee to consider changes, modifications,
or additions to said contract, within the scope of resolution
1 above, and that the Rector is authorized to execute and deliver

a contract or contracts in the name and on behalf of
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia carrying
any such changes, modifications or additions, and that the
the same be entered on the minutes.

The following report of the Special Committee on
lighting contract with the C. & A. Ry. Co. was submitted,
read and adopted, and referred to the Attorney for the University
with instructions to prepare the necessary contract to
carry same into effect:

The recommendation of the Medical Faculty, as set out in
the following communication from Dean Hough, that the fourth

year work in said department begin June 24th and run until
March 1, 1919, was approved:

Prof. Maphis, of the Special Committee in the Smith-Hughes
appropriation for Agricultural Education in the University, made
a report of the matter to the Board, after which the following
resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED: That after having hear Prof. Maphis in the matter of
the Smith-Hughes professorship, the matter of going forward with
the University's part of the Statework and the employment of
Prof. Scott be left with the President with power to act.

The following committee was appointed by the Rector to look

into the matter of administering the Ryan Scholarships
and report to the Board: Judge Norton, Mr. Hatton, and
Mr. Bryan.

The following motions were adopted:

RESOLVED: That the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds
be authorized to lay in at least 1,000 tons of coal during
the summer for use next winter.

RESOLVED: That the heating arrangement with the Colonnade
Club be revised by a committee consisting of Mr. Michie, the
President, Superintendent of Buildings and grounds.

RESOLVED: That when the Pavilion now occupied by Professor
Francis H. Smith becomes vacant, the courtyard between this
house and the house occupied by Professor Minor be restored
to its original state as designed by Mr. Jefferson; that
the whitewashed board fence, wood shed and coal houses be
removed. This alley is the most prominent cross axis of the
University, and in its present encumbered state is very unsightly.

The President reported that it had been with very great
difficulty the services at the Chapel were kept up during the
session just closed, and that the Committee on Religious Exercises
had recommended, after very careful consideration, that
the chapel services be discontinued for the coming session owing
to the expected small attendance and the difficulty experienced
in securing preachers. The matter was left with the President
with power to act.

The Special Committee, consisting of Judge Norton, Mr.

Hatton and the President, appointed to draft appropriate
resolutions with regard to Mr. Armistead C. Gordon's services
as a member of the Board of Visitors and Rector of the University
submitted the following, which were adopted:

of Paris, which has been acknowledged by him on behalf of

Manahan was granted a leave of absence to enter the service
of the War Department.

to a request of the Board at a former meeting, submitted a

of Trustees, that the income from the Miller Fund for the session
