SUCCESSION OF VINCENT

The President reported that the Honorable Wayne G. Borah, the University's representative
with respect to the Succession, had recently united on behalf of the University, in two
agreements with the City of New Orleans, whereby the Naked Owners and the Usufructuary had
agreed to sell to the City certain strips of land along the margin of Poydras Street, for the
purpose of widening the street. The price paid by the City was $177,300.00, of which $38,308.09
would go to the University of Virginia. The real estate firm of Leo Fellman & Co. represented
the Naked Owners and the Usufructuary in the negotiations with the City of New Orleans and
the University's share of the fee charged for such services amounted to $750.00.

It was pointed out that after the widening of Poydras Street was completed, the Vincent
properties will have a large frontage on new Poydras Street. It is contemplated that the
interested parties in the Vincent properties should acquire two small adjoining parcels so as
to give the Vincent properties a full block frontage on Poydras Street, thereby materially
enhancing its value as a whole.

The Board then examined copy of a letter from Leo Fellman & Co. to Judge Borah, dated
May 8, 1964, copies of the Agreements to Sell to the City of New Orleans and a sketch
showing the Vincent properties on Poydras Street, the amount to be taken by the City for
street widening and the remaining properties including the two (marked in yellow) which should
be acquired.

After careful consideration and full discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, the
following resolution was adopted:

BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia that the action of the Honorable Wayne G. Borah, in executing on behalf of the
University of Virginia two Agreements to Sell to the City of New Orleans for the sum of
$177,300.00 two strips or parcels of land for the purpose of widening Poydras Street in said
City, be and the same is hereby ratified and approved.

RELOCATION OF EASEMENT FOR 18″ WATER LINE OF CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

The President reported that in connection with the construction of the remainder of the
by-pass from its present terminal to a point on U. S. Route #29 south of Charlottesville, it
would be necessary to relocate the easement for an 18″ water line which was granted to the
City of Charlottesville under numbered paragraph (1) of a deed from The Rector and Visitors of
the University of Virginia, dated September 10, 1948, of record in the Clerk's Office of the
Circuit Court of Albemarle County, Virginia, in D.B. 280 p. 311.

He stated that the Agreement between the City and the University for relocation of the
water line easement was not yet ready for execution although substantial agreement had been
reached, and asked for authority to execute the Agreement when it had been approved as to form
and substance by the University's special counsel.

After discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was,

RESOLVED, that, subject to prior approval of the instrument as to form and substance by
Special Counsel for the University, the proper officers of The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, be and they hereby are authorized, empowered and directed to execute
in the name and on behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia an agreement
with the City of Charlottesville relocating the easement for an 18″ water line heretofore
granted said City.

ARCHITECTS FOR GEORGE MASON COLLEGE LIBRARY

The President reported that the Architectural Advisory Committee which advises him on
the selection of architects for new buildings, had recommended the firm of Vosbeck, Vosbeck
and Associates of Alexandria, Virginia as the architects for the library building to be constructed
at George Mason College. He proposed approval of the employment of this firm by the Board.

suggestion that as the planning proceeds, efforts be made to provide additional recreation
facilities at the Medical Center, and particularly in the area south of Jefferson Park Avenue.

APPROVAL OF LOCATION OF FOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The President reported that in order to take advantage of the planning money appropriated
by the 1964 General Assembly and to provide additional dormitories for single students and
housing for married students who would be displaced by University Hall, specific approval was
required for the location of four construction projects.

The following resolution was adopted:

in part the expenses to be incurred by President Edgar F. Shannon, Jr. on his trip to West Germany
from 18 June 1964 to 3 July 1964 for the purpose of visiting and studying the programs of
certain universities in that country.

The President expressed his appreciation for the action of the Board but said he did not
think it would be necessary for him to draw extensively on this fund.
