On the 20th of February, 1932, Miss Mary Glover, a trained nurse
attached to the staff of the University Hospital, in the discharge of some
of her duties about the Hospital, came out of the building and started across
the parking space at the rear of the Hospital. Tanner Slaughter, a colored man,
employed as janitor at the Biological Laboratory, had been sent to the Hospital
to get some distilled water for use at the Laboratory. He had driven his own
car, an old T-Model Ford, to the Hospital, had parked it in the parking space,
had gotten the water, and just as Miss Glover approached the spot where the
automobile was parked, Slaughter undertook to crank his machine, preparatory to
returning to the Biological Laboratory.

Just as Miss Glover reached a point at the rear of Slaughter's car,
the engine of the car started, and in some way the mechanism of the reverse
gear of the car became engaged and the car was driven violently backward, running
over Miss Glover and killing her almost instantly.

Miss Glover is survived by a brother and a sister, neither of whom
was in any way dependent upon her. She is survived also by her mother, Mrs.
Isabel Glover. At the time of Miss Glover's death and for six months prior
thereto, her mother had been living with her in a room which Miss Glover rented
in Charlottesville, and had been entirely dependent for her support upon the
earnings of her daughter, which, at the time of her death, amounted to $37.50
per week.

The facts with reference to the total dependency, and all other facts
connected with the accident, have been thoroughly investigated both by Mr.
Carruthers and by myself. Tanner Slaughter had no public liability insurance
upon his car, and, in our opinion, the case is one of liability upon the University
under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Law of Virginia.

Under Section 39 of that law burial expenses not exceeding $150.00
should be paid, and compensation should be paid to the dependent mother at the
rate of $14.00 per week for a period of three hundred weeks.

I beg to present for your consideration copy of contract prepared
on Form #35 of the Industrial Commission of Virginia, under which we agree to
pay Mrs. Glover the amounts referred to above. It is my recommendation that the
Board adopt the following resolution -

"Upon consideration of the facts attending the fatal injury to
Miss Mary Glover, which occurred at the University Hospital on the 20th of
February, 1932, taking into consideration the fact that Mrs. Isabel Glover,
mother of said Miss Mary Glover, was entirely dependent upon her said daughter
at the time of the accident, it is,

RESOLVED, that Mr. John L. Newcomb, Acting President, be and is
hereby requested to execute the contract presented to this Board by the Attorney
for the University, under which the University agrees to pay the said Mrs.
Glover the sum of $150.00, burial expenses, and compensation at the rate of
$14.00 per week, payable each week for three hundred weeks from the date of
said injury, February 20th, 1932, or until her death if death occurs before
expiration of said three hundred weeks, and E. I. Carruthers, Bursar of the
University, is hereby authorized and requested to make the payments to said
Mrs. Glover, provided for under said contract."

Upon motion of Mr. Tunstall, duly seconded, Mr. R. Gray Williams,
Secretary of the Alumni Board of Trustees of the University of Virginia
Endowment Fund, was requested to present to the Rector and Visitors of the
