Resolved: That James E. Routh, Jr. be elected Adjunct

Resolved: That the office of Commissioner of Accounts be

on account of the creation by the Legislature of a Bureau of
Accountancy for State Institutions.

Resolved: That the additional sum of $50.00 be appropriated
and paid to "The Debating and Oratorical Union," to assist
in defraying the expenses of this organization for session 19091910.

Resolved: That the President and Superintendent of Grounds
& Buildings with the assistance of such other members of the
faculty as they may request to act with them are requested to
investigate the whole question relative to the sewer system of
the University, and make report to the next meeting of the Board

with recommendations as to what changes, if any, should be
made, together with an estimate of the costs thereof.

Resolved: That the petition of certain citizens of the
University community with reference to re-opening the entrance
to the University grounds from the street-car line, be referred
to the Committee on Grounds & Buildings, and the President
for consideration and future report to the Board.

Whereas, by deed dated November 13th., 1905, and recorded
in the Clerk's Office of Albemarle County, Virginia, in Deed
Book 131, p. 341, A. N. Peyton conveyed to D. Harmon and John
S. White, Trustees, a certain lot of land, known as the Anderson
property, at the University to secure equally and ratably
the University of Virginia and the Trustees of the Miller
Board in the sums of $3,400.00 and $3,300.00 respectively;

And, whereas, the said Peyton now desires a release of a
portion on the lot in the rear of the Anderson house and beginning
at a point on the western line of the said property
about 210 feet from University Avenue, thence north 60 feet
and with a depth of 113 feet, in order that he may effect
another loan thereon for the sum of $      for the purpose
of erecting a house thereon;

And, whereas, it appears that the University will have
still a first lien with the Miller Board on a lot fronting
138 feet on University Avenue, and extending back on the west
side about 210 feet and on the east side about 240 feet, and
will have still a first lien on a small triangular lot in the
rear of the lot proposed to be released, as well as a second

lien on the lot released, which will be subordinate to the
lien of $       hereinbefore mentioned;

And, whereas, by reason of improvements placed by the
said Peyton on the lot upon which the first lien is still
retained, it appears that the security for the said loans by
the said University and the said Miller Board will be amply
sufficient;

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, that John B. Moon, as Attorney
for the said University of Virginia, be and is hereby
authorized and empowered to make such release, or postponement,
of the lien of the said University, jointly with the
said Miller Board, on the said lot 60 feet by 113 feet in the
rear of the said Anderson house, as may be needful in the premises.

Whereas, the Beta Iota Chapter of the Delta Tau Delta
Fraternity request that they be assigned site "A" in the "Fraternity
Court," instead of site "B", granted them by resolution
of March 6th, 1910; and in submitting such request, they
propose to erect ultimately a building to cost about $18,000.00,
Therefore, be it

Resolved: That site "A" be substituted for site "B" and
assigned to the said Fraternity, subject to the same conditions
as required in resolution of March 6th, 1910.

Resolved: That the following petition of the Phi Beta
Kappa Fraternity for a room on East Range, be granted;-

It appearing to the Board that the sum of $22,565.00
will be needed to finish the Law Building and equip the same;
and about $4,000.00 to make essential repairs on the buildings
known as "Dawson's Row;" and it further appearing that the
stock of the Norfolk National Bank, represented by certificate
#2053 for 105 shares of the National Bank of Commerce of Norfolk,
(represented by certificate #898 for 231 shares) being a part
of the James Fund, Can be sold to advantage,

Resolved: That the Finance Committee shall sell the
said stock, and that $26,500.00 of the proceeds of such sale,
shall be used for the purposes above set out, with the understanding,
and upon condition that the said sum shall be restored
to the said James Fund, out of the first funds coming into
the University, available for the purpose; and subject to the
further condition, that one-half of the interest on $26,500.00
at the rate of 5%, shall be paid to the "Lee Camp Soldiers'
Home," as provided by the will of the late E. W. James.

Whereas, at the last meeting of this Board, the following
resolution was adopted;-

Resolved: That the Finance Committee of this Board be and
is hereby authorized and requested to turn over to the Treasurer
of the Alumni Board of Trustees of the University Endowment
Fund, the securities now in the custody of the Virginia Trust
Company, and representing what was known as the "Alumni Hall
Fund", arising from sundry payments by Alumni and Friends to
the late Col. Thos. H. Carter, as temporary treasurer, amounting

to $2,750.00 (as per statement filed herewith), and by
him invested in 3% Virginia County Bonds in the name of the
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.

It is understood that, by re-investment of the interest
from time to time, the fund is now $3,600. par value in Century
Bonds.

And, whereas, it appears that the foregoing resolution
was adopted by inadvertence, therefore be it

Resolved That the above resolution be rescinded, and
that the Bursar be authorized and instructed to hold the said
bonds as custodian for the Trustees of the "General Athletic
Association", and "Alumni Hall Fund", and to pay the interest
accrued and to accrue to W. A. Lambeth and R. T. W. Duke, Jr.,
the Trustees for said fund for re-investment.

was directed to be placed on record:-
