ACADEMIC COURSES PURSUED BY MR. JOHN T. FAULS

The Chancellor called to the attention of the Board a resolution it had passed some years
ago barring males from pursuing courses for credit at Mary Washington College. He noted that
this applied to the faculty as well as to regular students and that some discrimination was
evident because female members of the faculty could take courses for credit while male members
could not. He stated further that Mr. John T. Fauls, a member of the Mary Washington College
faculty, had been permitted to enroll in courses during the past summer in order to pursue work
to assist him in becoming qualified in a certain field. He asked for the Board's approval of
this action.

The Chancellor 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, effective 1 June 1961, Mary Washington College be and it is hereby authorized to register
and record in its files the grades of Mr. John T. Fauls, Associate Professor of Psychology at
Mary Washington College, earned or to be earned in academic courses approved by the Chancellor.

PURCHASE OF PROPERTY

The Chancellor stated that there is a parcel of property at the intersection of College
Avenue and U. S. Alternate Route 1, triangular in shape, which forms the south entrance to
College Avenue from U. S. Alternate Route 1. The Chancellor noted that the property was divided
in ownership between two persons. From one of these persons, the Chancellor was unable to get
a commitment as to a price. The owners of the other parcel had indicated their willingness to
accept an offer of $7,500. The Chancellor noted further that the property is undeveloped, creates
an unsightly entrance to the College area, and presents a traffic hazard for students entering
the highway from this point. The College would plan to landscape the property in order to improve
this entrance to the College area.

The Chancellor stated that the proposal had been approved by the President, the Mary
Washington College Committee, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, and the Executive Committee.
The need for approval by the Executive Committee was in order to conclude the purchase prior to
the meeting of the Board, since the Governor had indicated his approval of the proposal.

The Chancellor 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 action of the Executive Committee on 15 September 1961 authorizing the purchase of a
parcel of property adjacent to Mary Washington College, being made up of portions of Lots 7, 8,
and 10, Block 48, on Plat of Fredericksburg Development Company, the approval of the Governor
having been first obtained, be and it is hereby ratified and approved.

BIENNIAL BUDGET REQUEST FOR 1962-1964

The Chancellor reported on the biennial budget request to the Governor and the General
Assembly for 1962-1964.

REPORT ON 1961-1962 ENROLLMENT

The Chancellor presented a detailed report on the enrollment at Mary Washington College
for 1961-1962. He noted that the first-year class at the College would consist of more than
80 per cent Virginians but he hoped to be able to redress this balance next year.
