June 15, 1920.
An adjourned meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held
on this date with the following members present: Rector Bryan,
and Visitors Walker, Dillard, Duke, Hatton, Robertson, Scott
and Oliver.
The following reports of the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds in the matter of the Beta Theta Pi application for
permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds of the
University, and the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow to make
certain changes in the Monroe Hill rooms now occupied by him,
as set forth in his letter of June 7, 1920 to the President,
were approved:
University of Virginia.
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to which
was referred the application of the Beta Theta Pi for
permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds
of the University, recommends that the fraternity be
given an option until January 1, 1921 on the lot in the
rear of the Kappa Sigma House and fronting on Rugby Road,
for the erection of such house. The exact bounds of said
lot to be hereafter determined by the Rector and Visitors,
and the terms and conditions upon which said lot is to
be held and the building erected to be in accordance
with those heretofore determined by the Rector and Visitors
in other like cases. In case the lot be desired
by the fraternity, then the details shall be arranged and
embodied in proper documents to be duly executed by the
parties.
University of Virginia.
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds unanimously
recommends that the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow,
as set forth in his letter of June 7, 1920 to the President,
be rejected, and the Committee is unable to make
any recommendation which will provide for the remodeling
or repairing of the property at this time.
The Committee is of the opinion that it is unwise and
inexpedient to permit any professor to remodel or repair
any building belonging to the University at the expense
of such professor with a stipulation that such professor
be reimbursed by the University at any future time.
The Committee further reports that the present
system of valuation at which the various pavilions or
residences are let to the professors should be revised
and the buildings be valued before any general system of
housing can be put into effect.
The Committee on Buildings and Grounds was requested to
investigate the matter of rent of University residences occupied
by professors and report to the Board.
In the matter of furnishing bond by the University for
the withdrawal of tax-free alchol for use of the University
Hospital, the following resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Rector, John Stewart Bryan, be and is hereby
authorized on behalf of the Rector and Visitors to sign a bond
for the withdrawal of alchol, free of tax, for use of the
University Hospital, and also to sign application for the withdrawal
of alchol, free of tax, for use of said Hospital.
The meeting then adjourned.
Rector.
Secretary.
