ALUMNI ASSOCIATION RECORDS GRANT

President Darden presented the following Memorandum from the Provost of the
University

In recommending approval of the proposed grant, the President observed that
the compilation, correction, and adequate maintenance of alumni records are both
costly and vital to the success of the Alumni Fund and other University purposes.
He added that he had agreed to recommend the grant to the Board only after
receiving assurances that there would be no requests for University funds for
athletic grants-in-aid, and that the Alumni Association would make no demand upon
the Alumni Fund to designate athletic scholarships or grants as an objective in the
annual campaign

The Board resolved that the additional grant to the University of Virginia
Alumni Association of twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500.) annually for
the next three years be approved, in accordance with the recommendation and
statement by the President and the conditions set forth in the Provost's Memorandum
of 13 February 1957.

CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE LOAN

The President laid before the Board resolutions prepared by Mr. C. Venable
Minor, Special Counsel to the University, for use in the procurement of a loan for
the erection of faculty housing units at Clinch Valley College. It was the
consensus of opinion on the Board that the resolutions should be adopted and the
Governor's approval sought, and that the President should then use at his own
discretion the authority thus obtained

The Board accordingly adopted, on motion of Mr. Hartfield, duly seconded, the
following resolution

WHEREAS, the application of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia to the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency of the United States for
loan assistance under Title IV of the Housing Act of 1950, in the amount of
$150,000.00 has been approved by that Agency, said loan to be used for the erection
at Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia, of ten faculty housing
units, consisting of one apartment house of four units and six single family homes
at Wise, Virginia, designated as Project Va. 44-CH-9(D), and,

WHEREAS, it will be necessary for The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia to issue its bond or bonds evidencing said indebtedness of $150,000.00,
and,

WHEREAS, under the provisions of Section 23-19 of the Code of Virginia, 1950,
this institution has power and is authorized and empowered, by resolution of this
Board, approved by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, to issue its bonds
evidencing said indebtedness of $150,000.00 for the purposes hereinabove set forth,
said bonds bearing such date or dates, maturing at such time or times, bearing
interest at such rate or rates not exceeding three per centum per annum, payable at
such time or times, being in such denominations, being in such form, either coupon
or registered, carrying such registration privileges, executed in such manner,
payable in such medium of payment, at such place or places, subject to such terms of
redemption, with or without premium, and containing such additional provisions, as
such resolution or resolutions may provide, and are authorized under the provisions
of said Section 23-19 of said Code of Virginia, and,

terms and conditions set forth in said Loan Agreement should be approved and

BUDGET FOR 1957-1958 ADOPTED

Copies of the proposed Budget for 1957-58 having been laid before the Board by
the Finance Committee, the Comptroller appeared before the Board and presented a
Budget Summary, which was ordered to be filed with these minutes. Mr. Shea pointed
out that increased enrollments, rental and tuition fees, and gifts and grants
would more than offset a reduced State appropriation, making the estimated
revenues for 1957-58 higher by $462,000 than the revenues for the current year.
Increased expenditures are proposed chiefly for filling vacant and new positions,
to take care of increased enrollment of students, and for increased faculty
salaries. Total revenues are estimated at $8,647,000, and expenditures at
$8,544,000, with an anticipated surplus of at least $103,000

After discussion the Board resolved to adopt the Budget for 1957-58 as

MR. KOWNACKI'S ELECTION TO FACULTY CONFIRMED

President Darden, citing a letter of May 29th from Dean Quarles, reported that
he had been unable to get further information on Mr. Stanislaw Kownacki beyond what
was known at the time of the M. I. T. clearance. He reminded that Board that the
election of Mr. Kownacki to the faculty on April 27th had been a provisional one,
and stated that he intended now to confirm the election unless he should hear any
objection from the Visitors. No objections were voiced.

NORTHERN VIRGINIA COLLEGE TO BE OPENED

After commenting on the lack of progress at a recent conference that he and
Judge Bryan and Judge Smith had held with representatives of the Board of Control
for Alexandria-Arlington-Fairfax-Falls Church, President Darden reported that there
now exists a favorable opportunity to lease the old school building, erected about
1922 and recently vacated, at Bailey's Cross Roads. The President requested
authority to proceed with the organization of the new college in leased quarters
next fall, pending a decision regarding the permanent location.

On motion of Mr. Berkeley, seconded by Mr. Coxe, the Board resolved: (1) that
a decision regarding a site for the Northern Virginia College be deferred, and (2)
that the President be authorized to negotiate with the authorities of Fairfax
County for the lease of temporary quarters and to proceed with planning toward the
opening of the college in September, 1957.

INTERVIEWING OF PROSPECTIVE FACULTY MEMBERS

President Darden again discussed the procedures now followed in the several
departments and schools in recruiting and interviewing candidates for faculty
positions. He noted that present practice mades demands on the President's time,
with attendant complications to the faculties in scheduling visits, that appear
unnecessary. He thought it desirable to relieve the President of some of the
interviewing, and said that he would bring specific proposals to the Board,
probably at the October meeting.

STEVENS' GALLERY COURT SEWAGE LINE APPROVED

A letter from Mr. Donald G. Stevens, requesting permission to cross University
property with a short sewer line, supplementary to the one authorized several years
ago, was presented to the Board. President Darden noted that the supplementary
line was required to take care of a new addition to the Gallery Court Motor Hotel
on Route 29 North, that the crossing of University property was the only
practicable solution for Mr. Stevens, that the request had been approved by Mr.
O'Grince and Mr. Shea, and that it was proposed to retain the right to revoke the
arrangement.

The Board resolved that Mr. Stevens' request, as presented by the President,
be approved.

MOYSTON ESTATE TAX PAYMENT APPROVED

The following letter was read to the Board:

President Darden said that he concurred in the recommendation by Mr. Venable
Minor that the University pay the Maryland tax of approximately $26,000.00 now
(instead of facing an inheritance tax of approximately $71,000.00 later), and he
suggested that the funds for payment be arranged as a loan from University
endowment against the future inheritance of the Moyston property by the School of
Law.

There was general agreement with this proposal, and the Board resolved that
the President and the Comptroller proceed, in consultation with Mr. Minor, to
arrange to make now the tax payment of approximately $26,000.00

BURSAR TO ACT IN COMPTROLLER'S ABSENCE

Referring to Mr. Vincent Shea's forthcoming voyage to Chile as a civilian
guest of the Secretary of the Navy to observe the NROTC Midshipmen's summer
training, President Darden requested authority for the Bursar, Mr. David B. Moyer,
to sign checks and perform other functions of the Comptroller during Mr. Shea's
absence.

The Board adopted the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that between June 15, 1957 and August 15, 1957 the Bursar as well as
the Comptroller be authorized to sign checks disbursing the funds of the University,
and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Bursar shall perform such other duties as may
be assigned him by the President or the Comptroller.

PROFESSORSHIPS WITH SPECIAL REMUNERATION

Referring to the proposals of Professor Emeritus Albert Balz for named
professorships (a subject considered by the Board on 9 September 1955, 4 February
1956, and subsequently), President Darden said that he wished to obligate for
special professorships the funds that have been raised by gifts for this purpose.
He requested authority to name several such professors in the University at large
and several in the School of Law, and to give them special compensation during the
summer months.

The Board resolved that the President be authorized to proceed in this matter.

CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE RENOVATION WORK

President Darden requested authority to devote $3,000. to converting the old
detention home, presented to the Clinch Valley College by Wise County, into faculty
apartments.

The Board resolved that the President be authorized to devote $4,000 to this
purpose.

ROTUNDA RESTORATION

Mrs. Smith and Mr. Hartfield inaugurated a further discussion of plans for the
restoration of the interior of the Rotunda, presenting on behalf of the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds the following report:

Members of the Board examined the model constructed by Mr. Whitehurst, under
Professor Nichols' supervision, to show the Rotunda as it was designed and built by
Thomas Jefferson in the closing years of his life, but destroyed by fire on 28
October 1895.

Mrs. Smith requested that the Rector write a letter of thanks to Mr.
Whitehurst for his good work on the model, and a letter to Mr. Monroe Bush to
express the Board's appreciation for Mr. Bush's expression of interest in the
proposed restoration.

The Rector thanked the Committee for the good work that had been accomplished,
and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia that the
Report of the Buildings and Grounds Committee be approved and accepted, and that
the Report and accompanying documents be placed in the Board's files,

RESOLVED FURTHER that the Board approves the replacement of the rooms that
were removed from the Rotunda by Stanford White, so that the interior structure and
proportions will be as they were designed and built by Thomas Jefferson (according
to the scale of the Pantheon) and as they existed from his death until the fire of
1895,

RESOLVED further that the Board's approval is conditioned only upon the
necessity of procuring funds for the work from private sources, and that the Board
encourages the Committee to continue its search for such funds.

MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

RESOLUTION URGING RETENTION OF PRESIDENT DARDEN

The Rector read to the Board the following letter and enclosed resolution from
the Secretary of the College Faculty

The Rector having informed the Board that he had written to Mr. Quenzel,
assuring him of the hearty concurrence of the Visitors in the sentiments expressed
by the Faculty, it was ordered that the foregoing resolution be recorded in the
permanent minutes of the Board, and that the Secretary inform Mr. Quenzel of the
action taken

On motion the meeting was then adjourned.
