Extract from minutes of a meeting of the Board of Visitors,
held on April 25, 1928.

The Rector stated to the Board that a compilation of all the
Statute Law of Virginia, affecting the University, has been completed
by Mr. Berkeley Minor and Mr. James Fontaine Minor,
both of whom are Alumni of the University, and presented by them
to the University, which compilation has been heretofore ordered
printed by this Board, and is now in the hands of the printer.

It was thereupon

RESOLVED—That the labor performed by Mr. Berkeley
Minor and Mr. James Fontaine Minor for their Alma Mater, involving
the examination of all Acts of Assembly from 1802 down
to and including the Extra Session of 1927, and the transcription
of all relevant matter, is of the greatest value to the University,
to its Officers and to this Board. Through their painstaking efforts
the records of the University have been richly added to, and
the Rector and Visitors now desire to record their appreciation and
express their sincere thanks to these gentlemen for their generous
gift.

The treatment is chronological entirely, and no attempt has been
made to set forth here the Chapters of the various codes relative
to the University, and for some phases of the present law as to
the University, the Code of 1919 and Acts subsequent thereto
should be consulted.

Much of what is contained in this compilation is obsolete as
legislation, but of great historical interest.
