Virginia, has assented to the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth,
sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth accounts
of Bentley W. Warren and William Endicott, 3rd, as Trustees
under the will of Arthur W. Austin; and

WHEREAS, E. I. Carruthers, Bursar of the University of Virginia,
has assented to the twentieth, twenty-first, twenty-second
and twenty-third and final account of Bentley W. Warren and

Austin, on motion duly made and seconded, it is

RESOLVED: That the aforesaid acts of the Rector and Bursar
assenting to the aforesaid account of Bentley W. Warren and
William Endicott, 3rd, be and they are hereby ratified and confirmed.

During the consideration of the Budget, Mr. Hart called
the attention of the Board to the probability of the appropriation
made by the Legislature to meet the requirements of the
Smith-Hughes Act not being available for the ensuing fiscal
year, owing to certain conditions which had arisen in the arrangements
for carrying out the provisions of the said Act; and,
after a general discussion, the matter was referred with power
to act to a committee consisting of the President, Dean Page
and Professor Maphis, with the request that they report at the
June meeting.

The question of the advisiability of entering into a contract


237

with the C. & A. Ry. Co. for theelectric current for
the University, with a view to the conservation of fuel, was
discussed and referred to a committee consisting of the
Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, and Professors Rodman
and Hancock to report their findings to the June meeting.

Mr. Michie reported that the Attorney for the University,
who had been requested by a former resolution of the Board to
compile the Acts of the Legislature in reference to the University,
stated that he had found that there were numerous Acts
in reference to the University since the last compilation
of the Laws of the University, and desired some instruction
as to the shape the Board desired them put in. The matter
was referred to the Dean of the Law School, with the request
that he confer with the Attorney for the University as to compiling
the Acts referred to, and also a compilation of a new
set of by-laws for the University.

The question of requiring students to room in the
University dormitories, so long as there may be any vacant, was
referred to a committee consisting of the President, Mr. Michie
and Mr. Bryan to report.

On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

The annual June meeting of the Rector and Visitors was
held on this date with the following members present: Rector
Irvine and Visitors Hatton, Bryan, Norton and Robertson.

The minutes of the meeting of May 15th were approved.

Prof. J. L. Newcomb, representing the University in the
Training School for Motor Truck Drivers, appeared before the
Board in the matter of amending the existing contract with the
War Department as to the per-diem charge for said training,
housing and subsistence to cover the cost of erecting an additional
building to be used as a dining hall and kitchen, as the
combination buildings now being used for said purposes have
proven inadequate. After a full discussion of the matter it
was disposed of in the following, offered by Judge Norton
and adopted:

RESOLVED: First, That the Board is unwilling to change the
contract with the United States Government, entered into April
5th, 1918, except that the Board is willing to so modify said
contract as to remit to the Government, upon final settlement,
all profit; and Further, is willing to agree to pay for a
desired additional building in consideration of an advance
in the rate per man of five cents per day, and return to the
Government any profit made.

RESOLVED: Secondly, That G. R. B. Michie, John Stewart Bryan,
Prof. J. L. Newcomb and Allan Perkins be and they are hereby
appointed a Special Committee to consider changes, modifications,
or additions to said contract, within the scope of resolution
1 above, and that the Rector is authorized to execute and deliver


239

a contract or contracts in the name and on behalf of
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia carrying
any such changes, modifications or additions, and that the
the same be entered on the minutes.

The following report of the Special Committee on
lighting contract with the C. & A. Ry. Co. was submitted,
read and adopted, and referred to the Attorney for the University
with instructions to prepare the necessary contract to
carry same into effect:

E. A. Alderman, Press.,
University, Va.
Dear Sir:

Concerning the proposition of the C. & A. Ry.
Co. for connecting with the University plant, we recommend
the following:

1st. That all expenses for labor, materials
and equipment growing out of this change be borne by
the C. & A. Ry. Co. (i.e. Meters, Motors, Lines, etc.).

2nd. That meters at points of distribution be
furnished and installed free of charge to the University.
That they be replaced by the University meters at the
beginning of neating season (on or before October 10th)
also free of charge.

3rd. That on May 10th, 1919 the C. & A. Ry. Co.
must again put in their same equipment under the same
conditions as above and on October 10th remove and replace
the University material, meters, etc., as in this
season, 1918.

Respectively submitted,
W. A. Lambeth
W. S. Rodman

The recommendation of the Medical Faculty, as set out in
the following communication from Dean Hough, that the fourth


240

year work in said department begin June 24th and run until
March 1, 1919, was approved:

Dr. E. A. Alderman,
University of Virginia.
My dear Mr. President:

Under date of May 28, a communication
was received from the Office of the Surgeon General of
the Army requesting all medical schools which can possibly
do so to begin the session 1918-1919 for fourth year medical
students not later than July 1, so that the Class of
1919 may be graduated by the end of February or early
in March 1919. This measure is to help meet the extraordinary
demand for medical officers for the Army which
is sure to come within the next year or so.

In accord with this request the Medical
Faculty has voted to begin the fourth year work for
the coming session on Monday, June 24, and to run continuously
until March 1, 1919 at which time the class will
receive their diplomas. The other three classes of the
medical school will have the usual schedule for the
coming session.

Very truly yours,
Theodore Hough,
Dean.

Prof. Maphis, of the Special Committee in the Smith-Hughes
appropriation for Agricultural Education in the University, made
a report of the matter to the Board, after which the following
resolution was adopted:

RESOLVED: That after having hear Prof. Maphis in the matter of
the Smith-Hughes professorship, the matter of going forward with
the University's part of the Statework and the employment of
Prof. Scott be left with the President with power to act.

The following committee was appointed by the Rector to look


241

into the matter of administering the Ryan Scholarships
and report to the Board: Judge Norton, Mr. Hatton, and
Mr. Bryan.

The following motions were adopted:

RESOLVED: That the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds
be authorized to lay in at least 1,000 tons of coal during
the summer for use next winter.

RESOLVED: That the heating arrangement with the Colonnade
Club be revised by a committee consisting of Mr. Michie, the
President, Superintendent of Buildings and grounds.

RESOLVED: That when the Pavilion now occupied by Professor
Francis H. Smith becomes vacant, the courtyard between this
house and the house occupied by Professor Minor be restored
to its original state as designed by Mr. Jefferson; that
the whitewashed board fence, wood shed and coal houses be
removed. This alley is the most prominent cross axis of the
University, and in its present encumbered state is very unsightly.

The President reported that it had been with very great
difficulty the services at the Chapel were kept up during the
session just closed, and that the Committee on Religious Exercises
had recommended, after very careful consideration, that
the chapel services be discontinued for the coming session owing
to the expected small attendance and the difficulty experienced
in securing preachers. The matter was left with the President
with power to act.

The Special Committee, consisting of Judge Norton, Mr.


242

Hatton and the President, appointed to draft appropriate
resolutions with regard to Mr. Armistead C. Gordon's services
as a member of the Board of Visitors and Rector of the University
submitted the following, which were adopted:

The retirement of Hon. Armistead C. Gordon from
the Board of Visitors of the University, after sixteen
years of service, marks an epoch in the history of the
institution.

The disaster wrought by the fire of October 27,
1895, fell during his first term of office (1894-1898)
and in the labours of reconstruction he bore an important
and honourable part.

Out of the problems of reconstruction arose the
movement for creating an executive head for the University
and of this movement Mr. Gordon was both the spirit
and the spokesman.

Reappointed in 1906, after an interval of eight
years, he was at once chosen Rector of the Board under
which the new president was to exercise his office. He
was continued as Rector by successive elections for
twelve consecutive years until his retirement in 1918.

Himself an alumnus of the University of Virginia,
saturated with her traditions of character and conduct
and scholarship, he brought to the service of his Alma
Mater not only the wisdom of a deep affection, but also
the knowledge and sympath of a man of letters, the breadth
of view of a thoughtful publicist, and the sustained devotion
of a faithful son. With an energy that never
faltered, a patience that never tried, a love that never
grew cold, he made of public duty a private pleasure and a
patriotic privilege.

The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
desire to make official record of their esteem and respect
for this distinguished citizen and son of Virginia and do
hereby resolve

I. That this statement of the service as Visitor and
Rector of Hon. Armistead C. Gordon be spread upon the minutes
of the Board.

II. That a copy of these proceedings over the signature
of the present Rector be communicated to Mr. Gordon by the
Secretary of the Board.


243

President Alderman reported to the Board the receipt
of the memorial tablet to James McConnell from the University
of Paris, which has been acknowledged by him on behalf of
the Board, as follows:

Monsieur Lucien Poincare,
Rector de le Universite de Paris,
a la Sarbonne,
Due des Ecoles, Paris, France.
My dear Monsieur Poincare:

I am empowered and directed by
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
to convey to you the deep appreciation and gratitude
of the University for the commemorative tablet in honor
of James Rogers McConnell, an old student of this
Institution who gave his life for France. This tablet
shall be set up in a conspicuous place upon the walls
of this University, and shall serve as a tie to bind together
in everlasting affection and memory the two great
nations now struggling to protect the freedom of mankind
against a menace of tyranny and oppression.

Faithfully yours,
Edwin A. Alderman, President,
University of Virginia.

Upon the recommendation of the President, Prof. J. L.
Manahan was granted a leave of absence to enter the service
of the War Department.

The Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, in response
to a request of the Board at a former meeting, submitted a
report on the fire protection afforded the University by fire
plugs, hose, etc., which was read and ordered filed.

The proposal of the Medical Class of 1918 for the Richard
Henry Whitehead Endowment Fund, as outline in the following


244

letter, was accepted by the Board with its approval and
appreciation.

Dr. Edwin A. Alderman,
President of the University
of Virginia.
My dear Dr. Alderman:

I would like to submit for your
approval and that of the Board assembled, the enclosed
plan of an endowment fund to be raised in the future
for the Medical School of the University, and in beloved
commemoration of the late Richard Henry Whitehead.
The plan is that of the Graduating Class in

also the future classes in Medicine.

Most respectively,

OF VIRGINIA.

In recognition of our great indebtedness to the University
of Virginia for our training in Medicine, and in beloved
commemoration of Richard Henry Whitehead, we, the undersigned,

much as our financial status shall allow, toward the
establishment of an endowment fund to be called by the
above title.

Furthermore be it understood that the above shall be
payable to the Bursar of the University of Virginia, and

The Bursar reported that he had received a communication
from Judge R. T. W. Duke, Jr., Treasurer of the Miller Board
of Trustees, that the income from the Miller Fund for the session
of 1917-18 would be $5840 instead of the usual sum of $6000, which
decrease is due to changes made in the investment of the principal,
and that he expects to receive $6000, the usual annual pay-
ment, for the fiscal year 1918-19.

The Bursar reported that, acting under authority granted
in a resolution adopted at the meeting of March 27th, he had
borrowed from the local bank in anticipation of deferred income
and to provide funds necessary for current demands, the sum of
$25,000. On motion the meeting then adjourned.
