The question of providing some agency for holding the fund
proposed to be raised for the University of Virginia Endowment
Fund was disposed of in the following resolution, unanimously
adopted:
RESOLVED, That this Board sees no objection to allowing the
present trustees of the Alumni Endowment Fund to hold such
funds as may be donated to the endowment fund proposed to be
raised.
At the request of Dean Hough, the salary of the Housekeeper
at the Hospital was increased with the understanding that said
salary shall not exceed $1,000 per annum.
Dr. Sparrow's request for permission to make certain additions
to rooms occupied by him on Monroe Hill was referred to the
Committee on Buildings and Grounds, with power to act, and with
the further request that the Committee make a report on a plan
providing houses for University professors.
Dr. Bray's request for living quarters in the University
was deferred.
The sum of $250 was appropriated to cover the University's
membership fee in the American University Union.
In the matter of granting U. D. C. Scholarships to women
students, it was the sense of the Board that the said scholarships
be open to women in accordance with the conditions prescribed
by the Board for the admission of women.
Mr. Scott, of the Committee on Heating, stated that a
meeting of the Committee was held in Richmond, at which Dr.
Lambeth, Mr. Willis and Mr. Almirall were also present, and
that it was practically the unanimous opinion of the meeting
that a tunnel should be built this summer and that the plants
be consolidated, but that it was yet a question whether or
not, in view of the excessive cost of building, the work
should be postponed.
The Rector was authorized to appoint a committee of three,
of which he should be one, to employ an engineer to draw plans
and specifications for the heating plant, and a committee of
two from the faculty to advise with them.
The scholarship offer from the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity,
as per the following communication, was accepted with the
thanks of the Board:
University of Virginia - Greeting:
The supreme Council of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
most gratefully accept the privilege of petitioning your
Honorable Board for the privilege of offering the use of
Room 31, West Range, the birth-place of our beloved Fraternity,
as a scholarship to deserving members of its organization.
If granted this privilege, the Fraternity agrees
to pay to the University the sum of EIGHTY SEVEN DOLLARS
as a yearly rental, including light, heat, and attendance
for the combined Summer and Winter Sessions.
In offering this scholarship it is the intent and
purpose of the Fraternity not only to have the occupant
of this room conduct himself as a keeper of a shrine, but
also to stimulate a greater interest in the Institution
held in such high esteem by all members of our organization.
In the event no member of the Fraternity attending
the University avails himself of this privilege, the
Fraternity will endeavor to guarantee the occupancy of
this room by a bona fide student of the University.
In witness thereof the supreme Council has signed
its name and affixed its seal the day above written.
Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity
by
Grand Secretary.
The Rector was authorized to appoint a committee from the
members of the Board on University Extension.

Jrs., of Richmond, Va.
Upon the recommendation of the President, it was
RESOLVED, That the new Chemical Laboratory be named "The John
B. Cobb Chemical Laboratory".
Upon motion the meeting then adjourned until June 15th,
at 9 o'clock.
