to the attention of the Board the correspondence had with George
Latham Fletcher of Warrenton, Va., in the matter of substitution
of Mr. Walter H. Robertson as administrator and trustee of the
estate of Miss Mary Amelia Smith, deceased, in the place of
Thomas Smith, removed, and the following resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED: That the action of W. Allan Perkins, Attorney, in
agreeing to the substitution of Walter H. Robertson of Warrenton,
Va., as Administrator of the estate of Miss Mary Amelia Smith
in the place of Colonel Thomas Smith, removed, as outlined in
Mr. Perkins' letter to George Latham Fletcher of Warrenton,
Va., under date of June 9, 1916, be and is hereby approved,
ratified and confirmed.

It is further

RESOLVED: That Mr. Perkins be and is hereby instructed to take
such steps as in his opinion may be proper, looking toward
the proper substitution of a Trustee for the University of
Virginia in the place of the said Colonel Thomas Smith, in order

that any funds to which the University of Virginia may be
entitled under contract of November 20, 1912, between the
said University and said Thomas Smith and Frederick Waugh
Smith may be properly secured to it.

Mr. Perkins' letter follows:

The advisability of changing the regulations governing
the appointments to Thomas F. Ryan Scholarships was discussed,
and the following adopted:

RESOLVED: That a committee of three be appointed to consider
the Ryan Scholarships, and report recommendations to the Board.
The Rector appointed President Alderman, and Visitors Norton,

and Hatton on said committee.

President Alderman announced the following gift to the
Electrical Laboratory from The Sangamo Electric Company of
Springfield, Ill., through Associate Prof. W. S. Rodman:

       

1 Electric Railway Economy Meter, 600 volts, 100 amperes # 479729 with resistance box	$73.00
1 Ampere Hour Meter Type MS, 15 amperes # 3845,	29.00

The Miller Board of Trustees reported that in accordance
with the recommendation of the professor of the Miller School
of Biology, it had adopted the following suggestions with
reference to the appointment of the two-year Miller Scholarships
and the filling of one of them for the next session by
temporary appointment, and submitted same for ratification.

That the two-year scholarships are awarded, one at the
end of each academic year, to the candidate intending to continue
scientific work, who passes, with the highest aggregate
of grades, Chemistry B-1 and Biology B-1.

That since no qualified candidate has appeared, and since
the services of these men are very badly needed, Mr. B. D. Reynolds,
an earnest and deserving Virginia boy, who has done excellent
work this year in Zoology B-1, be appointed for the session
of 1916-17, in order to tide the school over until next year.

These recommendations were approved.

The following resolution was adopted:

The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
desire to place on record an expression of their profound and
lasting regret at the death of Richard Henry Whitehead for
eleven years Professor of Anatomy and Dean of the Department
of Medicine. These eleven years were transitional and formative
years in the history of the ancient school of medicine
in the University. They were years requiring reconstructive
ability, insight into the changing nature of modern medicine,
and intense devotion to medical science. In all these fields,
Richard Henry Whitehead gave evidence of the possession of
unusual genius and ability and the University, as a whole,
and the Medical Department, as one of its units, are under
lasting obligations to him for his career of achievement and
service.

On motion, the Board then adjourned.
