LUCY JAMES DUN WILL MATTER:

The President advised the Board that the Supreme Court of Maryland had reversed the decision of the
Circuit Court of Baltimore County in the Lucy James Dun will, and had directed the Safe Deposit Trust Company
of Baltimore to turn over that one-third of Mrs. Dun's estate to the Trustees of the Rucker Estate. He further
stated that the Trustees would now institute proceedings in the Corporation Court of the City of Charlottesville
for a legal construction of Mr. Rucker's will and for guidance in their administration of this fund.

The President stated that it was his intention to request the Attorney General to act as counsel
for the University in the matter, and in case his office could not appear for the University it would be
necessary to have him designate an attorney to do so.
