THORNTON PROPERTY ON UNIVERSITY CIRCLE

The President reported that the three daughters of the late Dean Thornton of the School of
Engineering, who lived on University Circle, had approached the University to inquire as to the
interest of the Board of Visitors in accepting a gift of their property on University Circle if it
should be offered. Following numerous expressions of appreciation by the Visitors, 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 offer of Mrs. E. Carter Thurman, Miss Rosalie Thornton, and Miss Janet Thornton of their
property known as "The Terraces" at 21 University Circle as a gift to The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, subject to a life interest in accordance with an instrument to be prepared
by the University's Special Counsel, would be gratefully accepted
