THE RECTOR AND VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY

By C. Harding Walker
Rector
Attest:

[Description: (SEAL)]
The following communication was received from the
Charlottesville & Albemarle Railway Company with respect to
the erection of a waiting room on Rugby Road and of rescinding
the rental charge of $20.00 per month for the land
on which its loop is located:
of the University of Virginia,
University, Virginia.
Please find attached hereto a petition signed by
sixteen of your professors living north of the University
who request that we build a small waiting room at the end
of our car line on Rugby Road, near the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway.
The only place we can find to build a waiting
room is in the center of the loop track, which will be on
University property, and we wish to ask you kind permission
to do so, same to be approved by Prof. Fiske Kimball and Dr.
W. A. Lambeth, or any one you may designate.
The proposed waiting room will cost us about $1,000.00
and in view of the fact that our car line is of great service
rate of fare from five cents, in spite of the great increase
in operating expenses, we will greatly appreciate it if
you will relieve us of the rental charge of $20.00 a month
for the use of the loop at the end of the line, in accordance
with agreement with you and this Company dated December
14th, 1918, copy of which is hereto attached.
If granted the above permission we will use our best
efforts to erect a very attractive waiting room and with the
planting of shrubbery around it we feel sure it will meet
the approval of everyone.
Thanking you in advance for your kind consideration
of the above, we remain
CHARLOTTESVILLE & ALBEMARLE RAILWAY COMPANY,
President.
The foregoing matter was disposed of in the following
resolution unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That permission is hereby granted to the
Charlottesville & Aloemarle Railway Company to erect a
waiting-room for the accomodation of its passengers in the
center of the loop track located on the grounds of the
University near the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway on Rugby
Road, said building to be erected according to plans approved
by Prof. W. A. Lambeth, Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings
of the University and Prof. Fiske Kimball, Professor
of Art & Architecture, and shall be removed by the said Charlottesville
& Albemarle Railway Company upon 60 days notice
in writing from the Rector and Visitors. Said permit is granted
without cost to said C. & A. Ry Co.
RESOLVED, further, That that portion of the petition
of said Railway Company of April 26th., requesting release
from paying the monthly rental for the privilege of maintaining
its loop track in the grounds of the University
be not granted.
Petition of citizens residing on the south side of
the grounds of the University in reference to the nuisance
created by the dumping and burning of trash at power house
was referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
The Board adjourned at 1 o'clock P. M., April 27th
sine die.

The annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held
on the above date with the following Visitors present:
Dillard, Duke, Greever, McIntire, Miss. McVea, Oliver,

The minutes of the previous meeting having been copied
and distributed to the members of the Board for examiniation,
were approved.
The President announced the following gifts received
since the last meeting:
From Mr. A. W. Erickson to President and from President
Alderman to the Art Department of the University a set
of dry point etchings of the Washington Conference Celebrities,
by Mr. Walter Tittle, value $750.00.
From Professor A. H. Tuttle to the Heck Memorial Library
a new set of Encyclopedia Britannica.
From Hon. John Bassett Moore certain books to the
Law Library.
In connection with the gift of the members of the family
of the late William H. White, the President presented the
following correspondence:
Dr. E. A. Alderman,
President, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville, Va.
My mother, sisters, brother and myself
Endowment Fund, which we wish to take the shape of a
memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White.
It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection
with the Law School. As we do not know how it could be
best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion
from you. The fund will be available early in May and will
be about $10,000.00.
I should like to discuss the details
with you in person. At the present time I am not able to
travel with any comfort, as I am still suffering from the
effects of an automobile accident. Therefore, if you should
be coming to Washington at any time in the near future, I
wish that you would let me know so that I could meet you.
Otherwise, I will endeavor to get to Charlottesville early
in May.
Meanwhile, please be good enough to
treat this as confidential.
Munsey Building,
Washington, D. C.
I have your letter of the 7th inst.,
and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure
and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University
to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father.
It so happened that we served together on the Board of
Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know
something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally
pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection
with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I
am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st
of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming.
Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential.
Assuring you of my deep interest and
appreciation in this matter, I am
President"
University of Virginia,
Charlottesville, Va.
Please find enclosed the following
checks:
| Mrs. Emma Gray White | $ 3,000.00 |
| Emma Gray Trigg | 2,000.00 |
| W. H. Landon White | 2,500.00 |
| W. H. White, Jr. | 2,500.00 |
| $ 10,000.00 |
There are also enclosed the following
State of Virginia bonds:
| No. 28 | $ 500.00 |
| 848 | 100.00 |
| 411 | 100.00 |
| 758 (with coupons attached) | 100.00 |
| 1266 | 100.00 |
| 924 | 100.00 |
| $ 1,000.00 |
These bonds are, I believe, a part
of the so-called Riddleberger issue, which the State of
Virginia declined to pay in full, but I believe offers some
form of compromise. My brother, Dr. W. H. L. White,
asked me to transmit them to you as his additional contribution
to the fund, and in the hope that it might be
possible to get the Legislature of Virginia to pay them in
full. He writes me that there is a precedent for this in
that sometime ago Mr. Maury gave a number of these bonds to
St. Paul's Church in Richmond and that an Act of the Legislature
authorized their payment in full, together with
the coupons attached. It is his hope that you might be
able to secure a similar legislation regarding these bonds.
A letter from your secretary informs me
that you will be in Charlottesville on the 13th instant,
and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you during the
forenoon of that day.
At the request of the President the following statement
outlining the purposes of the William H. White Foundation
was approved.
