The President reported on the status of the Self-Study of the University which was endorsed by
the Board at its meeting on 29 September 1962 (Minutes, Board of Visitors, University of Virginia,
No. 12, 29 September 1962, p. 363) and which is required by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools to be made every 10 years. One of the requirements of the Self-Study is a statement
of institutional purpose bearing the approval of the Board of Visitors. The President presented
for discussion a statement of institutional purpose which had been prepared by the Steering
Committee for the Self-Study and which bore the President's approval. The President reported that
he was presenting this statement with the understanding that the University Senate would also be
called upon for its approval at a later date.
After considerable discussion, the Board deferred formal action on the proposal and asked the
President to resubmit the statement to the Steering Committee with the suggestion that (1) the
opening sentence of the statement be amended by adding the word "free" before inquiry in order that
the sentence might read as follows: "A university is a community of scholars having as its central
purpose the enrichment of the human mind by stimulating and sustaining a spirit of free inquiry
directed to an understanding of the nature of the universe and man's role in it"; and (2) the
Steering Committee consider the expansion of the activities designed to support the central purpose
of the University to include the development of honor among men and of gentlemenly conduct.
The President was authorized by the Board to seek action from the Executive Committee on the
revised statement if action were needed before the June meeting. Otherwise, the statement will
be brought back to the Board at the June meeting for further consideration.

WHEREAS the Board of Visitors has been deeply gratified, both corporately and individually,
by the recent splendid gifts of Mr. C. Waller Barrett, and,
WHEREAS the General Assembly of Virginia at its recent session unanimously reaffirmed in
golden terms the sentiments first expressed by this Board in its resolution of 10 June 1960

Library,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that a

upon our minutes, with sentiments of our own concurrence, approbation, and gratification, as
follows:
Whereas, Mr. Clifton Waller Barrett, a citizen of Virginia, has seen fit to
establish in the University of this Commonwealth, for the benefit of scholarship
and the admiration of all enlightened people, a Library of American Literature
that is unparalleled in the collecting annuals of this or any other country, and
Whereas, this library takes as its province 175 years of American literature
(the years from 1775 to 1950), and contains substantially all fiction, poetry,
drama, and essays published by an American through 1875, and for the remaining years,
contains a virtually complete collection of works of every major American writer,
with first and important later editions as well as manuscripts, to the extent of
hundreds of thousands of separate pieces of lasting significance to the American
heritage, and
Whereas, this gift stands as a beacon and symbol for all the devoted collectors
who have made and are making the libraries of this Commonwealth great, and
Whereas, so noble and generous an act deserves the commendation due it, now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring, That the
General Assembly of Virginia salutes Clifton Waller Barrett for his generous and
unique contribution to the advancement of scholarship in this Commonwealth.
Resolved, further, that the clerk of the Senate send a suitably prepared copy
of this expression of appreciation to Mr. Barrett as a token of the admiration,
affection, and respect with which he is regarded by his fellow citizens.
AND RESOLVED FURTHER that the Secretary convey a copy of this resolution to Mr. Barrett with

INQUIRY FROM DELEGATE MIDDLETON
The President reported that he had received an inquiry from Delegate Richard H. Middleton
as to the future possibility of the admission of females from Charlottesville and Albemarle
County directly from high school to the first undergraduate year at the University at Charlottesville.
The President stated that he had written Delegate Middleton informing him that, since
the School of Education, as of September 1964, would no longer admit undergraduate students to
its program who had not previously completed 60 hours of work in the liberal arts, there is no
longer any possibility of a girl entering the School of Education directly from high school. He
stated he had also informed Delegate Middleton that the Board of Visitors has been quite strict
in not allowing women to enter the College of Arts and Sciences at Charlottesville since Mary
Washington College is the women's college of arts and sciences. The President stated he had
informed Delegate Middleton that his inquiry would be called to the Board's attention to see if
the Board desired to make any change in existing policy. The Board declined to act and ordered
the report to be filed.
