of the University of Virginia to issue new bonds, secured
by deed of trust, for the purpose of retiring certain bonds
now outstanding and secured in like manner." Approved, March

thousand dollars, bearing interest at the rate of four per
centum per annum, and secured by deed of trust as hereinafter
set forth.
2. That the bonds of this corporation, to the amount aforesaid,
be accordingly so issued, of the denomination of Five Hundred
Dollars each, bearing date on the first day of November, 1906,
and carrying interest from date at the rate of four per centum
after date, but with the option to this corporation to redeem
and pay the same, or any of them, at any time after ten years
from this date; the interest aforesaid to be payable on the
first day of May, and the first day of November each year, but
the same to cease from and after such time as the principal of
the bonds respectively, upon which it accrues, shall be called
in for payment; and that the proceeds of said bonds coming into
the hands of this corporation shall be devoted exclusively to
the purposes specified in said Act.
3. That the said bonds, principal and interest, shall be secured
by a deed of trust duly executed with general warranty
by this corporation to the "Virginia Trust Company," as Trustee,
conveying and assigning in trust to secure the principal
and interest of said bonds, all the real estate of this corporation
together with all buildings, betterments and improvements
erected and to be erected thereon; and also certain of
its personal property, to wit: its libraries, statuary, and
paintings, and all its equipments, appliances, furniture, apparatus,
and other similar tangible chattel property, used in
the conduct of the business of the University, or in connection
with the courses of instruction given at said institution,
including all tangible personal property of this character and
description, which may hereafter be acquired by this corporation;
and also all the interest of this corporation in, and all
its claims to the estate or any part thereof of the late Arthur
W. Austin of Milton in the State of Massachusetts, a certain
legacy (which) was bequeathed to this corporation.
4. Said deed of trust shall be executed, acknowledged and
delivered in the name of and for, and on behalf of this corporation
by its chief officer, the Rector, and attested by
its Secretary, with its corporate seal affixed, and shall
contain a provision giving to this corporation, the right
from time to time to sell or exchange said articles of tangible
chattel property and replace them with others of equal
or greater value, which shall be subject to the said deed of
trust, and also reserving to this corporation, the right in
its own name to demand, sue for, receive, receipt for and collect;
and also to commute, compromise and adjust all the said
interest of this corporation in and all its claims to the said
estate of the said Austin, without the intervention of said
trustee company; provided that all amounts realized thereon
shall remain in the hands of and be held by this corporation,
subject to said deed of trust, except that this corporation
may, until the right to forclose shall have accrued under
said trust deed, use the current income therefrom for and
about its current expenses. And said deed of trust shall further
contain such other provisions as the said Rector may be
advised are usual, apt and proper.
5. And for the purpose of further securing said bonds, the
said trust deed shall contain a covenant that the said buildings
shall be kept insured in some one or more reputable fire
insurance companies for the sum of One Hundred and Fifth Thousand
Dollars, until such time as the aggregate amount of such
bonds outstanding shall be reduced below said sum of $150,000.00
after which time an amount of insurance at least equal to all
of insurance shall be drawn or assigned so that loss, if any,
shall be payable to said Trust Company, for the protection of
the holders of said bonds. And said deed of trust shall also
further contain a covenant on the part of this corporation
for the establishment, setting apart, and maintenance of a
Sinking Fund of Two Thousand Dollars per annum, out of appropriations
made by the General Assembly of Virginia for that
purpose, or out of the current revenues of the University, to

accruing to the lessor, remain in arrears and unpaid for 90
