University of Virginia Library

A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date to consider
revising the request of the University to the Public Works Administration for loan and grant
for the erection and equipping of a new library building and for providing the necessary
loan therefor from sources other than from the Federal Government, and for such other matters
as may come before the meeting.

There were present the Rector, Fred W. Scott, Visitors Goolrick, Corbitt, Rinehart,
Hall, Garnett, Stuart, Williams, Lewis C. and R. Gray Williams, and President Newcomb.

The President stated, in connection with the University's application for loan
and grant from the Public Works Administration for erecting and equipping a new library,
that it was the general impression that no grant would be made by the said Administration
where a loan was also required of the Federal Government, but if the amount required in the
nature of a loan could be had from other sources it might be possible to secure the necessary
grant. He further reported that after consultation with the Rector, arrangements had
been made with the Wilmington Trust Company, of Wilmington, Delaware, for a loan of
$400,000 @ 4% interest, and with Scott and Stringfellow for a loan of $123,000 @ 4% interest,
making a total of $523,000 required by the Public Works Administration to secure a grant of
$427,909.00.

In view of the foregoing statement, the following motion by Mr. Garnett, seconded
by Mr. Stuart, was adopted:

The following motion with reference to the proposed loans was made by Mr. Goolrick
and seconded by Mr. Corbitt and adopted:

The President was authorized to make a contract with R. E. L. Taylor for plans
and specifications for the new library building as the development of the project may
justify.
