and valuable gift to the University of Virginia.
The following letter was received from Mr. John
Bassett Moore in reference to his gift:
April 13, 1921.
President, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville, Va.
On the approach of the Centennial Celebration,
and on the Founder's birthday, I desire to enter upon
the execution of a long-cherished design to present
to my Alma Mater a library of international law.
I would begin the collection this year, and would from
time to time add to it, making a final contribution,
including probably a part of my own library, under my
will or such indications as my family would carry out.
To this gift the principal condition I attach
is that the collection shall form a part of the Law
Library and shall be kept intact. Although the
volumes included in it would not all be what are
commonly called law-books, yet they would all have some
special relation to what I have found the needs of the
student, the teacher, and the practitioner of international
law actually to be. Moreover, having always
been accustomed to look upon the body of rules governing
the intercourse of nations as a branch of law, I wish
in every way to emphasize the legal nature of the
subject, and particularly to empress on those who would
understand the system, and above all on those who would
essay to expound it, the fundamental requisite of a thorough
and comprehensive education in law, private as well
as public.
I should also be glad if the collection might be
distinctively preserved as the John Bassett Moore Library
of International Law. This request is mainly prompted
by the hope that the example, with which the collection
thus named would be associated, of a life largely spent
in the study, the exposition and the administration of
international law, might quicken in others an interest
in the subject and in the public service.
Believe me to be, as always,
On behalf of the Board, Dr. Alderman wrote Mr. Moore
as follows:
267 W. 73rd Street,
New York City.
It was my honnor and pleasure to make
known to the Rector and Visitors of the University, at
their meeting on April 20, 1921, your letter setting
forth your gift - the John Bassett Moore Library of
International Law - to the University of Virginia. I
was directed by the Board to express to you their
gratitude and appreciation of this splendid service to
the University. The Board is largely composed of
members of the legal profession, and you may imagine their
pleasure and satisfaction at the thought of such new
strength will be added to that side of our University
life. I was also instructed to say that your letter
will be spread upon the minutes and that all of the
conditions will be faithfully adhered to.
Assuring you of the appreciation
of the whole University, I have the honor to remail,

The following resolution relative to automatic increases
in the salaries of full professors was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the regulation adopted by the Board May 8, 1914,
concerning automatic increases in professors' salaries after six
and twelve years respectively of satisfactory service, be and is
hereby rescinded.
At the request of the President, the following resolution
was adopted, changing the title of adjunct professor to assistant

WHEREAS it is desired to standardize the professorial title in

RESOLVED, That the title of adjunct professor in the University

The matters in the death of L. L. Newman were discussed.
Mr. W. Allan Perkins, attorney for the University, was present
and went over with the Board certain questions in connection therewith.
RESOLVED, That the L. L. Newman matter be referred to the Executive
Committee with power to act, and that the said committee
will meet at the call of the Rector.
In the matter of the McKim insurance question, the following
action was had:
In the matter of the letter of the American Security and
Trust Company, Trustee under the Will of the late Dr. Randolph
H. McKim, under date of December 16th, 1920, requesting the release
by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
of its right to certain funds which will ultimately pass to it
under Dr. McKim's will, Dr. Alderman recalled to the Board its
action taken at the meeting held on February 14th, 1921, at which
time the following resolution was adopted:
"RESOLVED, That in the opinion of the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, they have no right to make such
release, however much they may desire so to do."
Dr. Alderman further stated that since this action of the
Boardhad been communicated to the Trustee under Dr. McKim's Will,
he had received a letter from Mrs. McKim, and that in view of
the explanation of the situation contained in the letter and
certain facts with reference to Dr. McKim's wishes therein set
out by Mrs. McKim, and which were not mentioned by the Trust
Co. in its communication, he felt that the whole question should
be reconsidered.
Mrs. McKim's letter was thereupon read to the Board by
Mr. Perkins, attorney for the University, and the opinion given
by him that the action desired of this Board in relinquishing
the rights of the University in the fund in question was within
its powers, and that such release would not be an ultra vires act.
It was thereupon
RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia, earnestly desiring to respect the wishes of the
late Dr. Randolph H. McKim, and being advised by Mrs. McKim that
it was his desire that the whole of the proceeds of the Six Thousand
Dollar policy of insurance held by him in the Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York should pass to his two daughters,
hereby relinquishes and assigns to the said two daughters of Dr.
McKim, all right and interest in and to the proceeds of said policy
of insurance which may have already vested, or which may hereafter
vest, in the University of Virginia, by reason of the terms of said
policy, the provision of Dr. McKim's will, or by operation of law.
And the Rector is hereby appointed a Committee of one, and
is requested to convey to Mrs. McKim the knowledge of this action,
and the assurance of the Board's sincere regret that in its previous
consideration of the matter the full facts, so clearly
set out in her letter to Dr. Alderman, were not before it.
Mr. H. S. King made application for a fifty year lease
of a certain building lot between the Entrance Building and the
C. & O. Railway at a rentall of $1200 per year. After a full
discussion of the matter, the Board reached the unanimous opinion
that it would not be to the best interest of the University
to grant a lease for so long a term.
With respect to the petition of the Chamber of Commerce
of Charlottesville for the transfer of a tract of University
land as a site for a school for the blind, the Board decided that
it had no authority to dispose of any of its land.

Room was adopted:

Upon recommendation of the President, the following resolution
concerning a U. D. C. Scholarship was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Virginia Division of the U. D. C. be and is
hereby empowered to fill one scholarship in Law, or one scholarship
in Medicine, each year, in this University. The emolument
of this scholarship is free tuition.
The following rules governing the collecting and refunding
of students' fees were adopted:
Commencing with the session of 1921-22 the Bursar shall
observe the following rules and regulations concerning the
collecting and refunding of fees:

Laboratory Fees and Room Rent does not exceed $50 for the session,

$100, one-half thereof shall be paid upon registration and the
remainder at the begining of the second term.
When the fees aggregate more than $100, payment shall be
made one-third upon registration; one-third at the opening of the
second term and the remainder at the opening of the third term.
If any payment remain unpaid for fifteen days after the date
on which it is due, the Bursar shall immediately notify the Dean
of the department in which such student is entered of the delinquency
and such student shall by him be required to at once cease
attending lectures, using laboratories, library, gymnasium, athletic
grounds or buildings, boarding at the dining hall, and making
use of any other privileges as a student until his financial relations
the Bursar.
Refunding of Fees

shall have his fees refunded in full, except the sum of $5 to cover
cost of registration, and his name shall be stricken from the
rolls.
If he withdraw or is dropped from the rolls for any cause
after the fifth day of the term and before the middle thereof,
his fees shall be returned pro-rate.

In any case a minimum charge of $5 shall be made to cover
cost of registration.

The following committee was appointed to select a site for
the proposed gymnasium: Dr. Alderman, Dr. Lambeth, Dr. Warren,
Thos. J. Michie, Jr., together with Visitors Bryan, Robertson
and Duke.
The Rector, Chairman of the Executive Committee, submitted
the following report:
February 23, 1921.
The Executive Committee of the Rector and Visitors met on
this date, pursuant to call of the Chairman, in the office of
Mr. Frederic W. Scott in Richmond.
There were present Chairman Bryan, and Messrs. Scott,
Hatton and Hart, and Secretary E. I. Carruthers.
The following letters from Dr. Alderman to the Rector,
and from Dr. Alderman to Dr. Buttrick, with reference to an
application to the General Education Board for a contribution of
$50,000 to be applied to salary increases, were presented:
News Leader,
Richmond, Va.
The General Education Board is holding its
mid-winter meeting on February 24th, in New York City. I
have just had a visit from the fiscal agent of that Board.
I am convinced that the sum of $50,000 may be obtained
through that Board from the sum given by Mr. Rockefeller
some years ago for salary increases in American colleges.
Certain sums have already been granted to the University
of North Carolina, William and Mary, and the University of
Alabama, under just the same circumstances. I could not
bring the matter before the Board at the other meeting because
I had not then had the visit of the representative of the
Board here. It is necessary for the General Board to know
that I am speaking by authority of the governing body, or
they would not feel inclined to make any gifts to a State
institution without fore-knowledge that it would be acceptable.
Mr. Carruthers will explain any details connected with
the situation. I am hoping to have a wire from you by
Wednesday night, Hotel Wolcott, 31st Street, New York, authorizing
me to present the inclosed application. It was
specifically stated that action indicating the purpose to make
this application by the Executive Committee would be sufficient.
President, General Education Board,
61 Broadway,
New York City.
On behalf of the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, I am submitting, through you,
to the General Education Board, an application for an
appropriation of $50,000, to be applied to salary increases
of the instructional staff in the University during the
academic years 1921-22, 1922-23, 1923-24. It is desired
to use the sum asked for both to relieve the present salary
situation as regards increases already made and to make such
further increases as would tend to stabilize justly the
present salary schedule and to afford relief to those manifestly
underpaid. The University expects to obtain the necessary
funds within the time mentioned to take the place
of this grant in order that they may guarantee the permanence
of the increased scale and to increase it in so far as that
may appear resonable and helpful to the institution.
The fundamental reasons for this request
is the inability of the University to meet the need
for salary increases without serious deficit and the constantly
increasing demands of the unusual influx of new
students due to the same causes which are operating in all
American colleges and universities.
Mr. Carruthers stated that Mr. Arnett, the fiscal expert
of the General Education Board, had visited the University
and had gone carefully into its financial condition with respect
to its ability to make adequate increases in the salaries of its
teaching staff, and finding it could not do so without crippling
other departments and from the further fact that certain increases
had already been made which has imposed a financial burden out of
proportion to its resources, he would recommend a gift of $50,000
to cover a period of three years, from July 1, 1921 to be used
to help carry the burden already imposed.
On motion of Mr. Hatton, the letter of application by Dr.
Alderman to Dr. Buttrick, above set out, was approved and the
Rector requested to wire Dr. Alderman of the action taken.

Endowment Fund, was present and presented an estimate of expenses
of his department incident to raising the proposed endowment fund
of $3,000,000, as follows:
February, 28, 1921.
University, Virginia.
Pursuant to our conversation in Mr. Scott's
office last Wednesday, the following is the estimate of the
epxenses of the Endowment Fund campaign which I was to
supply you. You will understand of course, that it is very
difficult to make a close estimate, because we much be
ready to meet conditions as they arise, which may call for
additional and unforeseen expense:
| Alumni office to June 1, Secretary's salary, office supplies, and stenographic services |
$3,000.00 |
| Richmond office, salaries of Dobie and McKeand, secretarial hire |
9,800.00 |
| Estimate additional stenographic services | 500.00 |
| Charlottesville office, publicity director, two stenographers and office supplies |
7,000.00 |
| Total | 20,300.00 |
| Printing paid for | 3,678.24 |
| Contracted for | 965.00 |
| Estimate additional printing necessary | 1,500.00 |
| $6,143.24 | |
| Postage estimate | 1,500.00 |
| Telephone & telegraph estimate | 600.00 |

| Traveling expenses | 2,000.00 |
| 10% for incidental and unforeseen emergencies | 3,064.00 |
| $7,464.30 | |
| Grand Total | 33,907.54 |
If you deem it necessary to enlarge any on this by
itemizing the expense of salaries of Crenshaw, his stenographers,
and Trimmer and his stenographers, you may do so,
as you have the figures available.
Mr. Hatton offered the following, which was adopted:
WHEREAS the Executive Committee has this day considered
the estimate of expenses submitted by the Executive Director
of the Centennial Endowment Fund, which estimate is in writing,
signed by the Executive Secretary, Chas. A. McKeand, and hereto
attached;
And the Executive Committee being unanimously of the opinion
that the expenses shown on such estimate are necessary and reasonable,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the sum of $33,907.54 is hereby appropriated to
upon vouchers approved by the Executive Director and countersigned
by the Chairman of the Centennial Endowment Fund Committee.
The Bursar is hereby authorized to provide the funds
necessary for the expenditure from an unexpended balances available
and the amount so expended shall become a first charge against
all moneys collected for the University of Virginia Centennial
Endowment Fund.
With respect to the foregoing, the following resolution was
adopted:
RESOLVED, That the report of the Executive Committee be approved,
and the Bursar be and is hereby authorized to borrow on behalf
of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia from
the depositories of University funds such sums, not to exceed
$70,000, as may be needed to cover the expenses of the Centennial
Celebration, and of the Centennial Endowment Committee in raising
the proposed endowment. This indebtedness, including interest
thereon, is to become the first charge against any and all monies
collected for the University of Virginia Centennial Endowment
Fund.
The following matter, presented at the request of Mr. Duke, was
considered, placed upon its passage and defeated:
RESOLVED, That the President be requested, at least ten days
before the meeting of the Board of Visitors, to send to each
member of said Board a synopsis of the business to be transacted
In connection with the foregoing, the President stated
that while he would gladly comply with the terms of the motion
if it were possible to do so, it would be impossible, as the
matters to come up at the meetings could not be put in shape
frequently until the day before the date set, and, further, to
give any synopsis of value to the members would require more
copying than his present office force could handle.
The meeting then adjourned.
Rector.
Secretary.
