Mr. John B. Moon, the attorney of the University was
present, and submitted his report, embracing a scheme looking
to the retiring of the out-standing bonds of the University,
in accordance with a recent act of the Legislature. This report,
after being read and explained, was adopted by the Board.

The report follows:-

Resolved:-

1. That this Board deems it expedient, in the exercise of the
powers conferred upon it by an act of the General Assembly of
Virginia, entitled, "An Act to authorize the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia to issue new bonds, secured
by deed of trust, for the purpose of retiring certain bonds
now outstanding and secured in like manner." Approved, March
10, 1906, to issue such new bonds to the amount of two hundred
thousand dollars, bearing interest at the rate of four per
centum per annum, and secured by deed of trust as hereinafter
set forth.

2. That the bonds of this corporation, to the amount aforesaid,
be accordingly so issued, of the denomination of Five Hundred
Dollars each, bearing date on the first day of November, 1906,
and carrying interest from date at the rate of four per centum


125

per annum, the principal thereof to be payable forty years
after date, but with the option to this corporation to redeem
and pay the same, or any of them, at any time after ten years
from this date; the interest aforesaid to be payable on the
first day of May, and the first day of November each year, but
the same to cease from and after such time as the principal of
the bonds respectively, upon which it accrues, shall be called
in for payment; and that the proceeds of said bonds coming into
the hands of this corporation shall be devoted exclusively to
the purposes specified in said Act.

3. That the said bonds, principal and interest, shall be secured
by a deed of trust duly executed with general warranty
by this corporation to the "Virginia Trust Company," as Trustee,
conveying and assigning in trust to secure the principal
and interest of said bonds, all the real estate of this corporation
together with all buildings, betterments and improvements
erected and to be erected thereon; and also certain of
its personal property, to wit: its libraries, statuary, and
paintings, and all its equipments, appliances, furniture, apparatus,
and other similar tangible chattel property, used in
the conduct of the business of the University, or in connection
with the courses of instruction given at said institution,
including all tangible personal property of this character and
description, which may hereafter be acquired by this corporation;
and also all the interest of this corporation in, and all
its claims to the estate or any part thereof of the late Arthur
W. Austin of Milton in the State of Massachusetts, a certain
legacy (which) was bequeathed to this corporation.


126

4. Said deed of trust shall be executed, acknowledged and
delivered in the name of and for, and on behalf of this corporation
by its chief officer, the Rector, and attested by
its Secretary, with its corporate seal affixed, and shall
contain a provision giving to this corporation, the right
from time to time to sell or exchange said articles of tangible
chattel property and replace them with others of equal
or greater value, which shall be subject to the said deed of
trust, and also reserving to this corporation, the right in
its own name to demand, sue for, receive, receipt for and collect;
and also to commute, compromise and adjust all the said
interest of this corporation in and all its claims to the said
estate of the said Austin, without the intervention of said
trustee company; provided that all amounts realized thereon
shall remain in the hands of and be held by this corporation,
subject to said deed of trust, except that this corporation
may, until the right to forclose shall have accrued under
said trust deed, use the current income therefrom for and
about its current expenses. And said deed of trust shall further
contain such other provisions as the said Rector may be
advised are usual, apt and proper.

5. And for the purpose of further securing said bonds, the
said trust deed shall contain a covenant that the said buildings
shall be kept insured in some one or more reputable fire
insurance companies for the sum of One Hundred and Fifth Thousand
Dollars, until such time as the aggregate amount of such
bonds outstanding shall be reduced below said sum of $150,000.00
after which time an amount of insurance at least equal to all


127

the bonds outstanding shall be sufficient. All such policies
of insurance shall be drawn or assigned so that loss, if any,
shall be payable to said Trust Company, for the protection of
the holders of said bonds. And said deed of trust shall also
further contain a covenant on the part of this corporation
for the establishment, setting apart, and maintenance of a
Sinking Fund of Two Thousand Dollars per annum, out of appropriations
made by the General Assembly of Virginia for that
purpose, or out of the current revenues of the University, to
meet and discharge the principal of said Bonds.

6. The said bonds shall be signed by the said Rector and attested
by the Secretary, with the corporate seal affixed, and
shall consist of a series of four hundred bonds for Five Hundred
Dollars each, numbered consecutively from one to four hundred.
The form of said bond shall be as follows:

thereafter maturing.

"The holder of this bond may cause the same to be registered
on the books of the University in the name of such holder,
and the same shall be thereafter transferable only on such books;
and until there be a further transfer thereof on said books, the
principal thereof shall be payable only to such registered holder,
or to the legal representatives of such holder; the coupons

such assignment registered on said books, this bond shall again
become negotiable and transferable by delivery, and will so continue
until again registered in the name of an assignee; and
each successive registration shall be endorsed thereon.

thereon shall be signed by the said Trust Company, or
some officer thereof.

The lease follows -

This indenture made this 1st. day of June in the year
1906 between the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
a corporation, hereinafter styled the lessor, party of
the first part, and Dr. R. H. Whitehead, hereinafter styled
the lessee, party of the second part:

Whereas the lessee is a professor at the said University
holding his appointment as such under the lessor, and it is
desirable in view of his employment that he should be enabled
to provide himself a place of residence at the said University:

Now Therefore this Indenture Witnesseth,

1. That the said lessor doth lease and demise unto the
said lessee for the term of Fifty (50) years, commencing on
the first day of June 1906, all that lot or parcel of land
owned by the said lessor in Albemarle County, Virginia, situated


141

on the Observatory Road, near the University Ice Ponds
and bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a stake
on the South side of the Observatory Road near the said Ice
Ponds, thence running along the margin of the said road West
23° North, 200 feet to a corner stake, thence South 23° West,
400 feet to a corner stake, thence East 23° South, 200 feet
to a corner stake, thence North 23° East, 400 feet to the
place of beginning, enclosing a rectangular plat containing
eighty thousand square feet. And the said lessor reserves as
rent for the said land for the first five years of said lease
the sum of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) per annum, payable at
the end of each year; and after the expiration of said five
years, and also after the expiration of each period of five
years thereafter during the continuance of this lease, the
rent, reserved and to be paid for the said lot, shall be fixed
by the agreement of the parties; or if they cannot agree, then
the same shall be ascertained and determined by three disinterested
men, to be selected, one by the lessor, and one by
the lessee or those having his estate, and they to choose a
third in case of their disagreement. The annual rental so
ascertained and fixed shall be final for the five year period
for which it is so ascertained, but in no case shall less than
the sum of Twenty-five dollars ($25.) per annum be paid as
such rental.

2. The lessee covenants that he will within one year from
the beginning of the lease erect a dwelling house and other improvements
upon the said lot of the cost and value of not less


142

than $5,000.00 to be occupied by him as a place of residence
so long as he continues as a professor or otherwise in the
employ of the said University; and in case of his death, leaving
a widow, then at her option to be occupied by her during
her life as a place of residence, but not exceeding however
the aforesaid term of 50 years.

3. In the event that the lessee, or his widow, shall
cease to occupy the leased premises as a residence as aforesaid,
either by reason of his or her death or removal from
the University, then the lessor shall have the right at any
time thereafter to lease back from the lessee or those having
his estate, the lot aforesaid with the improvements thereon
for the remainder of the term at such annual rent for the said
improvements as may be agreed upon by the lessor and lessee or
those having his estate, or in the event of their failure to
agree upon the amount of rent to be paid for such improvements
then the same shall be ascertained and determined in all respects
by arbitration as hereinbefore provided, and the decision
and award of the men selected as aforesaid for this purpose
shall be final. And whether the lessor shall or shall
not have exercised its right to lease and rent back the said
lot with improvements thereon as aforesaid, it shall nevertheless
always have the further right and privilege, after the
lessee or his widow shall have ceased to occupy the premises
as aforesaid, upon giving at least three month's notice to
the lessee or those having his estate, to cancel and terminate
this lease and take the improvements erected upon the leased
premises at an appraised valuation to be determined in all respects


143

by arbitration as hereinbefore provided, and this right
to so cancel and terminate this lease may be exercised by the
lessor at any time after the same may have accrued to it.

4. For so long a time as the leased premises may remain
under the control of the lessee, or those having his estate,
after the same shall cease to be occupied as a residence of
himself or his widow as aforesaid, and subject always to the
rights of the lessor as provided in paragraph three hereof,
the lessee, or those having his estate, shall have the right,
by and with the consent in writing of the lessor, to assign
and sublet the leased premises and improvements thereon; and
the lessee covenants to and with the lessor that no person
shall ever occupy and hold the leased premises or any part
thereof as such assignee or sublessee, without the consent in
writing of the lessor first for that purpose obtained.

5. The lessee further covenants to and with the lessor
that at no time during the term shall the buildings or improvements
upon the leased premises be allowed to become
d so as to be of less value than $5,000. as aforesaid;
and that if the same shall be destroyed by fire or the
elements, that they shall be rebuilt and restored so as to be
of not less than the value of $5,000., within twelve months
after the lessor shall give notice to the lessee or those having
his estate that such rebuilding or restoration is required.

6. The lessee further covenants to and with the lessor
that he will pay the rent reserved and provided for in paragraph
one hereof.


144

7. It is further hereby expressly agreed and stipulated
between the parties that should any installment of the rent
accruing to the lessor, remain in arrears and unpaid for 90
days after the same becomes due and payable; or should there
be a breach by the lessee or those or those having his estate,
of any of his covenants herein contained, then and in that
event, the lessor may at any time after said 90 days has expired,
or at any time after there shall have been a breach of
any of said covenants, cancel and terminate this lease upon
giving at least 30 days notice to that effect to the lessee
or those having his estate; and the lessee waives any further
or other notice to be given or act to be performed by the lessor
in order to cancel and determine this lease as above specified.

8. At the expiration of the term of this lease, in case
it shall not have been previously terminated as aforesaid, the
lessor at its option may purchase the buildings and improvements
then on the leased premises at a price agreed upon by
the parties in interest, or if they cannot so agree, then at
an appraised value to be ascertained and fixed by disinterested
parties in the manner hereinbefore provided; but if the
lessor does not exercise its right to so purchase such buildings
and improvements, then the lessee, or those having his
estate in the premises, shall have the right either to remove
the said buildings and improvements then on the premises, or
to require from and be granted by the lessor a renewal of this
lease for the further term of fifty years upon the terms, conditions
and stipulations hereinbefore set forth, except that


145

any such renewal lease shall not itself contain a further
renewal clause.

9. All taxes and public demands, if any, accruing
against the leased premises during the lease shall be paid
