  $1,500 for the present instead of the $5,000 proposed.

• 5. Mr. Woodward's salary to be advanced to $7,500, instead of the $7,298 proposed, as a mark

• 7. Policy on Faculty travel to follow the practice of the other schools of the University
  located at Charlottesville and elsewhere, which is essentially that the necessary expenses of
  travel by a professor to a conference or meeting are paid only when he reads a paper, presides
  over a session, or in some other manner actually participates in an active way on
  the program of the conference or convention.

The Board resolved that the Budget, as amended by the foregoing provisions, be approved and
adopted.
