ROBERT C. TAYLOR ESTATE - CONVEYANCE OF NEW YORK CITY REAL ESTATE
In connection with the settlement of the Robert C. Taylor estate the President reported that a
parcel of real estate situated in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, known as No. 16
East 93rd Street, a part of the corpus of the Taylor estate, had been sold by Manufacturers Hanover
Trust Company, as sole surviving Executor and Trustee under Mr. Taylor's will, for the sum of
$100,000.00 cash to Disque Deane, Esq. The attorneys for the purchaser are of the opinion, in which
the attorneys for the Trustee concur, that it is questionable whether the power of sale granted the
Trustee under Mr. Taylor's will survived the death of Mr. Taylor's wife whose life was the measuring
life of the trust created under the will. In consequence title to the real estate in question passed
automatically to the University on Mrs. Taylor's death and a deed from the University to the purchaser
is necessary to convey title. The President further stated that the purchaser's attorneys
desired the conveyance of the real estate approved by the Governor as in their opinion the provisions
of Section 23-77.1 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, applied to this transaction. The
President then presented for consideration a draft of a deed of conveyance of the property in question,
prepared by Messrs. Kelley, Drye, Newhall, Maginnis & Warren, counsel for Mr. Taylor's Trustee,
and approved by the University's special counsel. He requested authority from the Board to
execute the deed.
After consideration of the draft of the deed and full discussion of the matter, upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was,
RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
sale to Disque Deane of the premises situated in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York,
known as No. 16 East 93rd Street, being a portion of the property devised and bequeathed to the University
of Virginia by the will of the late Robert C. Taylor, in consideration of $100,000.00 cash,
be and the same is hereby ratified and approved, and that Edgar F. Shannon, Jr., President, and
Weldon Cooper, Secretary, be, and they hereby are authorized and empowered, the approval of the
Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, as required by Section 23-77.1 of the Code of Virginia,
1950, as amended, first having been obtained thereto, to execute in the name and on behalf of The
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, a deed of conveyance of said real estate to said
Disque Deane, and to affix its corporate seal thereto and attest the same, such deed to be substantially
in the form submitted to this Board
AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS
The President reported that certain difficulties had arisen with respect to the collection of
tuition charges from students at the beginning of registration for the second semester of the academic
year. A proposal had been prepared which would prevent these difficulties in the future
Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the resolution adopted by the Board at its meeting on 14 October 1961 (Minute Book, University of
Virginia, No. 12, 14 October 1961, pp. 291-293) setting forth the University Regulations applying to
1962, as follows: (1) Under "Registration" strike out the second paragraph entitled "Delayed
Registration" and insert in lieu thereof the following: "Delayed Registration - Any student who
fails to present himself at the times specified, for his first registration in any academic session,
will not be permitted to matriculate unless he can explain his delay to the satisfaction of the Dean
of his School. If admitted after explanation, the student will be charged a delayed registration
fee of fifteen dollars, ten dollars of which may be waived by the Dean of the School for proper
cause", and (2) Under "Registration" insert a new paragraph following the paragraph entitled
"Delayed Registration" to read as follows: "Second Semester Registration - Immediately following
the final date for payment of second semester tuition, the Registrar will send a letter to the
appropriate Dean, listing the names of the students in his School who were registered in the first
semester but who have not completed their registration by payment of fees, and, therefore, will not
be permitted to attend classes. A copy of this letter will be sent to each student and to his
parents. If after ten days from the date of this letter, a student has not completed his second
semester registration, he will not be permitted to do so.
"The only appeal from failure to complete second semester registration by the above deadline
will be by the submission of a written petition for re-admission to the Registrar. This petition
will be considered by a committee made up of the Registrar, Bursar, and one other member of the
administrative staff of the University designated by the President. In addition, the student will
be required to appear in person before this committee. If re-admitted, a charge of twenty-five
dollars will be assessed each student re-admitted."
NEW STUDENT DORMITORIES PROJECT
In connection with the new student dormitories to be erected on the west side of Alderman Road,
the President stated he had been informed the construction of these buildings would necessitate the
relocation of water, sewer and other utility lines running through the site of the project, which in
turn would necessitate the grant of new and, in some cases perhaps additional, easements of rights
of way to the City of Charlottesville and possibly to utility companies for such relocated or additional
utility lines. As the exact routes of such easements have not as yet been finally determined
the instruments by which the University would grant such easements could not be prepared in time for
presentation to the meeting. However, the President pointed out, the exact routes would be determined
shortly and as soon as determined the execution of the instruments granting the new rights of
way should be executed in order to avoid delay in construction on the project. He felt that action
should not wait until the next meeting of the Board in June. The President therefore requested
general authority from the Board to execute on behalf of The Rector and Visitors such easement
grants as might be necessary
After due consideration, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was,
RESOLVED, that the President be, and he is hereby authorized and empowered to execute in the
name and on behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia such grants of easements
of right of way as he deems necessary for the purpose of relocating present utility lines and
running additional utility lines, in, over and under the site of the proposed new student dormitories
project, and that the Secretary be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to affix the
corporate seal of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, to such grants and to
attest the same
PROPERTY EASEMENTS ON EMMET STREET
The President reminded the members of the Board of the request he had presented at the
December, 1961 meeting (Minute Book, University of Virginia, No. 12, p. 303) from the City Manager
of the City of Charlottesville for some easements on certain University property for use in expanding
the present two-lanes of Emmet Street from the C. & O. underpass north, to a four-lane divided
street. In December certain problems relating to the traffic flow into Emmet Street from University
Gardens had not been worked out in detail. At that time he thought his recommendations on the matter
would have to be submitted to the Executive Committee.
Since the December meeting of the Board the problems of traffic flow from University Gardens
into Emmet Street had been satisfactorily solved. The President detailed to the Board the solution
of these problems and then went on to say that the City had renewed its request. However, the City
was now uncertain whether the Bureau of Public Roads will accept an easement in lieu of a fee simple
conveyance of title for the portion of the University's property on which the actual roadbed is
to be constructed. The City hopes to begin construction in May and must certify prior to beginning
construction that titles to all lands necessary for the road have been secured. It appeared therefore
that the matter probably could not wait for action by the full Board at its meeting in June.
The President requested that he be granted authority to execute, preferably, a grant of easement of
the lands needed by the City, but if necessary, a deed to such lands conveying the fee simple title
thereto, subject to the approval of the Governor, of such conveyance.
After full discussion of the matter, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was,
RESOLVED, that the President be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to execute, in the
name and on behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, such grants of easement
of right of way over lands of the University of Virginia necessary to enable the City of Charlottesville
to construct a four-lane street along the present route of Emmet Street from the C. & O.
underpass north,
RESOLVED, further, that if necessary in the discretion of the President, and subject to the
approval of the Governor of such conveyance, the President be, and he is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute a deed to the City of Charlottesville conveying the fee simple title to such
lands of the University of Virginia as may be required to enable the City of Charlottesville to
construct such four-lane street,
RESOLVED, further, that the Secretary be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to affix
the corporate seal of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to any such grant of
easement or deed, and to attest the same
INCREASES IN CHARGES FOR HOSPITAL CARE
The President reminded the Board of the policy of the University which called for setting the
rates for care at the University Hospital on the basis of cost. He regretfully announced that the
existing schedule of charges, which had not been changed for several years, was not sufficiently
high to support the cost of care now being given at the hospital. He stated that some increases
were therefore needed and that they should go into effect immediately since the policy is not to
charge a person, when the rates are raised, if he enters the hospital prior to the effective date of
the increase
Accordingly, the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the University Hospital be and it is hereby authorized, effective 16 April 1962, to make the following
increases in the charges for hospital care (1) an increase of $2.00 per day for hospital room
accommodations and nursery care, and (2) an increase of $3.00 per day in charges for the four large
Barringer private rooms on Davis II and III nursing units.
ALLOTMENT OF INCOME FROM THE ROBERT C. TAYLOR BEQUEST
The President announced that the University would receive in the very near future a substantial
gift from the estate of the late Robert C. Taylor. He presented a plan by which the income from the
Taylor Bequest, the principal of which was approximately three and one-half million dollars, would be
allocated as follows: (1) the income from two and one-half million dollars to be assigned to the
supplementation of the salaries of distinguished professorships, (2) the income from one million
dollars, or as much thereof as would be needed, to support a very desirable disability insurance
plan for the University faculty, and (3) the remaining income, if any, to be used for scholarships
The President stated further that he had been approached by an anonymous donor who had indicated
an interest in making a gift to the University of approximately one and one-quarter million dollars
for the supplementation of faculty salaries for distinguished professorships, provided the Board of
Visitors would earmark the income from two and one-half million dollars of the Taylor Bequest for the
same purpose. The anonymous donor had also informed the President that he expected in the future to
make additional gifts to the University for this same purpose if the Board saw fit to act in accordance
with his proposal
Accordingly, the President proposed and, after discussion, the Board adopted the following
resolution
RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the income from the Robert C. Taylor Bequest, the corpus of which is approximately three and one-half
million dollars ($3,500,000), shall be assigned as follows: (1) the income from two and one-half
million dollars ($2,500,000) shall be devoted to the supplementation of faculty salaries by the
establishment of additional special professorships for distinguished members of the faculty upon the
understanding that an anonymous donor intends to designate for the same purpose the income from an
initial gift of approximately one and one-fourth million dollars ($1,250,000) and the income from
such additional gifts as he may make to this fund, (2) the income from the remaining one million
dollars ($1,000,000) of the Taylor Bequest, or as much thereof as may be needed, shall be used to
finance a TIAA disability insurance program for the faculty, and (3) any income remaining shall be
devoted to regional scholarships

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that,
effective 1 September 1963, the following regulations shall apply to all students at Mary Washington
College and shall be published each year in the catalogue of the College
Mary Washington College Regulations
Nature of Regulations
The information contained in these student regulations constitutes an abbreviated statement of
policies which are explained more fully in the College catalogue and other authorized publications of
the College. These regulations and any other information conveyed to students, or to prospective
students, are subject to change at any time by the appropriate authority
Residence Requirements
All students, except those living in their own homes and attending as day students, are required
to live in the College residence halls. Enrollees, having been duly accepted for admission and
notified by the proper authority, should report, at the time and date specified in the College
announcements, directly to the Resident Counsellor in the dormitory to which she has been assigned
Registration
Registration - Applicants seeking matriculation at the College should present themselves to the
Registrar or his representative on the date specified in the College announcements
Delayed Registration - Any student who fails to present herself at the times specified for
registration will not be permitted to matriculate unless she can explain her delay to the satisfaction
of the Registrar. If admitted after explanation, the student will be charged a delayed
registration fee of fifteen dollars, ten dollars of which may be waived by the Registrar for proper
cause
Health Requirements - Each year, each student is required to present a certificate from her
family physician indicating the results of a physical examination made not more than two months prior
to the beginning of the session. If this approved health certificate is not on file at the time the
student registers for classes, a fee of five dollars will be charged for its late filing
Withholding Academic Credit - Grades, diplomas, and transcripts of credits will be withheld for
students and former students who have failed to meet their official financial obligations
Class Attendance - Students are required to attend classes regularly throughout the session,
except within the framework of excused absences as described in detail in the College catalogue
Honor Pledge - Registration at the College is considered incomplete until each student has
signed a pledge card certifying that she has familiarized herself with the Honor System code and
understands fully what is expected of her
Withdrawal
Voluntary Withdrawal - Any student desiring to withdraw from the College for any reason, must
have the approval of the Dean of Students and the consent of parent or guardian if she is a minor
Enforced Withdrawal - The College reserves the right to request the withdrawal of any student
whose academic standing, conduct, or general attitude is in its judgment unsatisfactory. Further,
the College will enforce the dismissal of a student certified by the Honor Committee to be guilty of
a breach of the Honor System
Conduct
A handbook containing the Student Government and administrative regulations is presented to
each student upon matriculation. It is expected that students will become thoroughly acquainted
with the College regulations and conduct themselves as ladies at all times, both within the College
and outside its jurisdiction. Students are expected to have their guests conform to these
regulations
For student conduct which is outside the jurisdiction of the Honor Committee but which tends to
discredit or injure the College, the Chancellor is authorized by the Board of Visitors to impose
such penalty as he may deem appropriate, including expulsion from the College. This authority has
been delegated by the Chancellor to the Student Judicial Council, or to the Joint Council, subject
to review by the Chancellor or his delegated representative. When the penalty for bad conduct is
expulsion, the student may appeal the decision to the Board of Visitors
Registration of Vehicles
Automobiles - Only Seniors are permitted to have cars on the campus. They must maintain a "C"
average and have the written permission of their parents or guardians before bringing their own or
family automobiles to College, where they must be registered immediately with the Dean of Students.
Day students, driving to the campus, must also register their cars.
Bicycles - Any student bringing a bicycle to the College is required to license it in accordance
with the regulations of the City of Fredericksburg.
Solicitors and Salesmen
Solicitors and salesmen, except those on official business with the College, are not permitted
on the campus without special permission arranged through the Office of the Dean of Students.
Students who act as representatives, distributors, salesmen or collectors for outside organizations
must also make special arrangements through this office.
Social Events
An active and varied social program is conducted by the College and its approved organizations
However, any organization or group of students wishing to present a dance or any other social event
must first obtain permission and approval of arrangements from the Dean of Students
Fees and Expenses
The amount of the fixed fees for any given session is based on the establishment of the
student's, or her parents' legal residency
Classification as a Virginia Student - Qualification for residency, as defined by the Rector
and Board of Visitors, shall be as follows
In order to be considered a Virginia student for any given semester, it is
necessary that the applicant shall have been domiciled in the State of
Virginia for at least one year immediately preceding the beginning of that
semester, and the applicant or her parents must have been bona fide taxpayers
to the State of Virginia for the calendar year immediately preceding
the calendar year of registration
Residence in the State for the purpose of securing an education does not
qualify an individual for classification as a Virginia student
Payment of Fees - All fees and expenses are payable in full in advance of the opening date of
each semester. Remittance shall be made to Mary Washington College and sent to the Office of the
Bursar. Failure to meet payments when due, or to make mutually satisfactory arrangements, may result
in automatic suspension from the College until the account is brought up to date
