SELECTION OF ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS FOR BUILDING PROGRAM:

Mr. Corbitt, who represents the University of Virginia on the State Committee charged with the
selection of architects and engineers for the building program of the several educational and other State institutions,
gave a very full report of the progress being made by the committee and of the difficulties experienced
with the appointments for the University.

Mr. Lewis Williams, in a general discussion of the matter, brought forward the possibility of having
submission of competative sketches by several architects and spoke of the correspondence he had conducted
with the possibility of having such plan adopted for our projected buildings. From the general discussion
it developed that the meeting was not prepared to take definite action at this time. On motion, adopted, the
matter was referred to the New Buildings Committee acting with Mr. Corbitt.
