CONCLUSION

a - Cause of Comparative Failure

Many untoward causes militated against the complete success
of the Campaign, The most obvious of these was the universal
economic depression all over the Country. Even men of large

means, suffering from acute comparative psychological poverty,
either refused to give or gave nominal sums.

The most discouraging feature of the Campaign was alumni
apathy. The younger men, whose contact with the University is
recent, were in the main energetic and generous. As a class,
the older alumni did rather poorly.

There were also many other contributing causes to weaken
the loyalty of the alumni, of whom we seem to have a great
many, whose loyalty to the University seems to depend upon
affairs being regulated at the University, absolutely according
to their opinions. Dissatisfaction with athletic policies,
co-education at the University, and the prospect of removing
the medical school to Richmond, all had a bad effect on the
Campaign.

b - Executive Associates

It is a pleasure for me to bear cheerful testimony of
the loyal support tendered by my executive associates. The
Joint and Alternate Chairmen were always courteous and more
than willing to undertake any task imposed upon them. Their
advice and counsel was invaluable. Mr. McKeand showed untiring
zeal and fine loyalty during the progress of the work,
and Mrs. Noland proved herself a tower of strength. During
a considerable period of time, while Mr. McKeand and I were
absent from Richmond, she ran the headquarters single handed.

c - Joy of Service

While the task of raising money is essentially unpleasant,
and while it is very trying on the nervous system
to run a great enterprise, with volunteer aids, in distant
cities, who work without pay and who cannot be severely criticized,
yet, in the language of President Alderman, "I count it
a joy and a gladness" to have been of any service to the
University of Virginia, which it is my pride and privilege to
serve.

RESOLVED, that the Rector and Visitors have received with
approval the report of Prof. J. L. Newcomb, Chairman of the
Committee on the Centennial Celebration and have ordered that
it be spread upon the minutes.

I have the honor to transmit herewith a financial
statement covering the cost of the Centennial Celebration of

The President presented a communication from Prof.
W. H. Faulkner requesting an appropriation of $179.75 to reimburse
him in that sum for repairs made to Pavillion 1 West
Lawn in excess of the $1000.00 appropriation made by the Board
of Visitors for that purpose. After due consideration of the
request the Board declined to grant the appropriation.

The President reported to the Board receipt of a check
for $15,000 from the General Education Board, same being payment
for the six months period ending December 31st 1921 on
account of the grant to the University for increasing teachers'
salaries.

The President presented the following concerning the duties
of the Dean of Women, which was adopted:

"Definite duties of a Dean of Women at the University of
Virginia.

Acting as adviser to entering women, former and new students.
This would include advising on their courses if they
wanted it, but the best type, capable of doing independent
work, would certainly prefer advising with the dean of the
faculty in which work is to be done, or someone like that.

Helping the women organize and enrich their academic and
social life.

Holding office hours for consultation and advice

Visiting and establishing relations with other colleges for
women especially in Virginia. In connexion with this, I should
think that attendance at the conference of the National Association
of Deans of Women might be desirable.

Seeking names of especially desirable prospective women
students, and corresponding with them. This would involve
also some plan of attracting desirable women students by
scholarships and fellowships, not primarily for the pecuniary
value of the scholarships and fellowships, but for the honour
they confer.

Organizing some sort of "bureau of vocational guidance",
perhaps on the lines of the Southern Women's Educational Alliance
in Richmond, perhaps simply as a clearing house for inquiries,
or perhaps for real placement work.

Studying the problems arising out of the admission of
women to the University, and advising as to the development
of future policies."

The following resolution was received from the State
Council of Administrative Women in Education adopted at
their annual meeting in Richmond on November 24th 1921 with request
that it receive favorable action; but the Board did not
take action thereon.
