Prof. Fiske Kimball, Supervising Architect, submitted
a memorandum on the cost and income of the Faculty Apartment
House; also a memorandum regarding two extra items of
cost on the New Gymnasium amounting to $2,017.75. The memorandum
of cost of construction of the Apartment House
shows the total estimate of $82,999.18, with some further
necessary expenses of grading, putting in walks and approaches,
which would bring the total sum up to about $84,000.00,
income from rentals $11,580.00; interest on investment, insurance
and other operating charges $6,464.50; net income
$5,115.50.

With respect to the foregoing the following resolution
was adopted:

RESOLVED, That the President be and he is hereby
directed to apply to the Alumni Board of Trustees to increase
the appropriation for the erection of the Faculty
Apartment House to a sum not to exceed $84,000 to complete
and improve the said building.

With respect to the New Gymnasium Prof. Kimball reported
and expenditure of $1,677.10 for increased depth and spread
of footings where water was encountered, and $340.65 net
increase in plumbing and heating matters, primarily for the
installation necessary at this time, of drains needed for
the future swimming pool equipment. These amounts being in
addition to the original appropriation and the same were
approved.

The Architect's fee of $2,800.00 for plans, specifications
and supervision of construction of the Faculty
Apartment House, estimated as 4% on the contract price of
$70,000.00 was approved, which amount was included in the
estimated cost of the structure.

Messrs. McIntire and Duke, a special Committee appointed
in connection with the study of the general development of
the Hospital and Medical School group, reported that at a
meeting on July 24th., 1922 it was understood and agreed
that Dr. Fiske Kimball is to have for the design for the
general development of the Hospital and Medical School
group a compensation of from $350.00 to $500.00 as he may name,
and for the designs, working drawings and specifications
of the proposed wing, called the McIntire Wing, his compensation
is to be 4% on contract price. The foregoing report
was approved.

Prof. Fiske Kimball presented preliminary sketch of
his study of the development of the Hospital and Medical
School group, which was examined by the members present, but
no action was taken in connection with the same.

With regard to the construction of the new McIntire
Wing to the Hospital, bids for which were opened this day,
Prof. Kimball reported the lowest bid to be $84,831.00, and
as this sum was so in excess of the fund donated for its
erection, the matter was re-committed for further study
and report to a later meeting.

Prof. Charles Hancock submitted the following report
on the cost of heating with a view to making recommendations
as to a fair distribution of charges for heat.

The Board approved the general principle of basing the
charges for heat to the residences and other buildings
on the grounds to $7.50 per 100 square feet of radiation
to cover actual cost of operations plus actual cost of coal.

Prof. Charles Hancock brought to the attention of the
Board a claim of W. E. Beaton, night watchman during the
Summer Quarter, who fell into an open ditch in which construction
of pipe line for the heating system was in progress,
covering damage to clothing, medical attention and loss of
time in the total sum of $60.00. The matter was considered
and laid on the table.

The plans for the proposed Chi Phi Chapter House to be
erected on Rugby Road, upon the ground of the University,
were presented, examined and the following resolution
adopted:

RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors approve of the
architecture and plans of the Chi Phi House and authorize
the Chi Phi to go forward with its erection, in accordance
with the resolution of the attorney of the University, Mr. W.
Allen Perkins, et out in the following: A tentative draft
of the lease from the University to Alpha Chapter of Chi

Phi Fraternity was presented to the meeting by W. Allen
Perkins, Attorney for the University, and after being read before
the meeting, was fully explained by him. Mr. Perkins
further stated that he had been advised by one of the
members of the Alpha Home Association, which is a corporation
organized by the Alumni of the Alpha Chapter of Chi
Phi, that it was more than probable that both the active
Chapter and the Alumni organization would desire to have
the present lease made with the Alpha Home Association instead
of with Alpha Chapter of Chi Phi. The following resolution
prepared by the attorney of the University, referred to above,
was thereupon adopted:

RESOLVED, That the lease in its present form is acceptable
to the Board, and Mr. Perkins is requested to find out
from the Alpha Chapter of Chi Phi and from the Alpha Home
Association just how these organizations desire the lease to
run. Upon obtaining this information, Mr. Perkins is further
instructed to forward the present lease to the Rector, who is
hereby requested to execute the same on behalf of the University,
either in its present form, or so amended as to make the
lease with the Alpha Home Association instead of with Alpha
Chapter of Chi Phi.

THIS DEED OF LEASE made this 2nd day of October, 1922
by and between the Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia, a corporation, hereinafter called the Lessor, party
of the first part; and Alpha Home Association, a corporation,
the members of which are Alumni of the University of Virginia,
who are also Alumni members of the Alpha Chapter of Chi Phi,
and which is hereinafter called the Lessee, party of the
second part - both of said corporations having been created
and existing under the laws of the State of Virginia -

WITNESSETH:-

promptly as possible with the erection of a fraternity house.

And said Lessor reserves as rent for the said land so long
as the same is occupied by said Lessee the sum of one dollar
($1.00) per annum, payable at the end of each year; that is

to say, on the 1st day of October of each year during the
term of this lease; but this lease is made and shall continue

and faithfully perform on its part each and all of the
covenants, stipulations and undertakings hereinafter set
forth.

And said Lessee agrees and covenants to and with the

University, said building to cost not less than $      
to be constructed of hollow tile, faced with brick, roofed
with metalor slate, and of the dimensions and style and according
to the plans and specifications of Eugene Bradbury,
Architect, copies of which are hereto attached as a part of
this contract; it being further understood that said
fraternity house shall be placed on the lot in question upon
the exact location which has heretofore been approved by
said Lessor and accepted by said Lessee.

THIRD. That the said building so erected shall be used
exclusively for the purposes of a students' chapter or
fraternity house and for lodging rooms by the individual
members of said Lessee and the members of Alpha Chapter
of Chi Phi, which is the active chapter of Chi Phi Fraternity
at the University of Virginia; that unless the consent
of said Lessor over the signature of its Rector is first
obtained, said Lessee will not sublet or assign said premises,
or any part thereof, during the term, or permit the use
thereof otherwise than by said Alpha Chapter of Chi Phi and
its members, and the members of said Lessee.

That during the use and occupation of said building as
aforesaid, and so long as said lease shall remain in
force and effect, said building shall be cared for and kept
in order and in such reasonable repair as the Superintendent
of Grounds and Buildings, or other duly designated officer
of said Lessor, shall require, at the expense of the said
Lessee and without charge to said Lessor; and such repairs shall
include restoration in case of damage or destruction by fire.

FOURTH. That the said building shall be at all times as
fully subject to the inspection and visitation of the
authorities of said Lessor for police purposes and the ends
of discipline, and for sanitary and other purposes of a similar
nature, as are any of the buildings owned by said University.

the future change its views as to fraternities, and desire to
recall any and all rights that may have been granted herein,

then and in that event the said Lessor shall have the right
at any time to revoke any and all of the rights and privileges
granted, conveyed or given hereunder, and take possession
of said building and upon payment to the said Lessee for such
building of such price as may be agreed upon by said Lessor
and said Lessee, and upon failure to agree upon a price, the
same shall be fixed by arbitration - one arbitrator to be
selected by each party, and the two selected to choose an
umpire - the award of said arbitrators and their umpire,
or of any two of them, shall be final and binding upon both
parties.

SIXTH. That in case of the breach of said Lessee or its
failure to observe any of the covenants, agreements or conditions
hereof, or if said building shall be used in a manner
not satisfactory to the said Lessor, or if said Alpha
Chapter of Chi Phi shall be dissolved or discontinued, then
and in any of said events, after sixty (60) days notice given
in writing by said Lessor through its Secretary, or through
any other authorized agent or officer of said Lessor, at
any time after such breach, to any member or officer of the Lessee
found at the University, or if no such member or officer be
there found, then without notice, the Lessor shall have the
right to enter upon its records the fact of such default or
breach of such covenant, condition or agreement, or of the
unsatisfactory use of said house by the Lessee as aforesaid,

possession of the said building, land and improvements thereon,
and the same shall become and continue the absolute property
of the said Lessor, free and forever discharged from any and
all rights and claims of said Lessee hereunder.

Provided, however, if the said building shall revert to
said Lessor as aforesaid in consequence of the dissolution
or discontinuance of the said Alpha Chapter of Chi Phi, and
within five years after said building shall have so reverted
the Chapter shall be revived and restored, to its former
standing and position and if said Lesee as so revived and
restored shall within such five years make application to
said Lessor for restoration to its rights and privileges under
this lease, the said Lessor shall thereupon be bound to restore
the same on the same terms and conditions as are hereinbefore
set forth, provided that evidence satisfactory to
the Lessor is presented to it of the good standing of
the Lessee as revived and restored, and of its ability to

to perform thereafter the obligations of this lease; otherwise
the leasee shall not be entitled to a restoration of
its rights and privileges as aforesaid.

SEVENTH. That in the event of failure on the part of
said Lessor to exercise its rights hereunder to terminate this
lease under the provisions of the SIXTH section above, such
failure shall not be taken or considered as in any manner
constituting a waiver of any of the rights of the Lessor as
hereinbefore set forth to terminate this lease as above stated,
and take possession of the building as aforesaid, in case
of any subsequent or other failure, default, or breach on
the part of the Lessee. And the said Lessor agrres and
covenants to and with the said Lessee that on the payment
by the said Lessee of said annual installment of rent as
aforesaid, and on the full and faithful performance and
discharge by said Lessee of all convenants, stipulations and
agreements herein contained, the said Lessor will, on payment
to it by said Lessee of $25.00 renewal fee, execute and
deliver at the request of said Lessee, a new lease of the
above demised premises for another term of ninety-nine (99)
years to commence on the expiration of this lease, subject to

ALPHA HOME ASSOCIATION

By J. Markham Marshall Pres.

ATTEST:

William H. Echols Secty.

Mr. Shields M. Goodwin and Dr. R. M. Page, representing
the Kappa Sigma and Delta Tau Delta Fraternities respectively,
appeared before the Board and urged the location of the Chi
Phi House on top of the hill instead of on the grade with their
respective Fraternity Houses. After a full discussion of
the matter by the Board, the request was, in view of all the
circumstances, respectfully declined.

The petition from the Zeta Psi Fraternity for the site
behind the Kappa Sigma House, on which to erect a Chapter
House, was disposed of in the following:

RESOLVED, That the matter be referred to the Committee
on Buildings and Grounds of the Board, the Superintendent of
Buildings and Grounds of the University, the attorney for
the University and Dr. Fiske Kimball.

The President read a letter from Governor Trinkle asking,
in view of every indication, that the State's revenues for
the current year will be considerably below the estimates
made by the Auditor of Public Accounts, upon which the
Budget was prepared and upon which the appropriations for
the current year were predicated, that the most rigid
economy be observed in all State institutions during the remainder
of the current bi-ennium, and the following action
was taken thereon:

RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors authorize the
President to assure the Governor that they will use all
possible economy in the operation of the University consistent
with contractual obligations and the absolute necessities
of the institution.

In connection with the coversion of $85,000.00 of the
First Liberty Loan Converted Registered Bonds, being part
of the $100,000.00 from the gift of Col. Payne, designated
by the President to be used in the erection of the New
Gymnasium, the following action was taken:

WHEREAS, It will be necessary for the University to dispose
of $85,000 of the First Liberty Loan Converted Bonds
in order to provide funds with which to construct the new
Gymnasium, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, University, Va., hereby authorize
and direct Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, President of the University
of Virginia, to sign and endorse for transfer, either for sale
or conversion to coupon form, the following First Liberty
Loan Converted Bonds, registered in our name:

• Bonds Nos. 2009-10-11-12-13-14-15 for $5,000 each

• Bonds Nos. 1197-98-99-1200-01 for $10,000 each.

The following communication was received from the
Bursar in connection with the distribution of the income
from the E. W. James Estate:

In connection with the foregoing report the following
action was taken:

At a meeting of the Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia, held on October 17th., 1922, at the University,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted:

Whereas, It has been brought to the attention of this
Board that the income from the E. W. James Estate may not have
been distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions
of his will in said matter, by which distribution the University
has received one-half of the entire income, whereas it
would appear from said will and decree that it was the intention
of Mr. James to have deducted from the University's
portion certain annuities, which annuities have been paid
and charged against the entire income before its division
between the Soldiers Home and the University of Virginia,
which will cause an apparent loss to the Soldiers Home of
$4500 when the fifteen year period shall have been completed;
Therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this matter be referred to the attorney for
the University for his review and advice and in case his
opinion is to the effect that the University has received
$4500 more than its due proportion of said income, the Virginia
Trust Company be directed, by the Secretary of this Board,
to deduct one-half of said amount from the July 1923 payment
on account of income to the University and the other one-half
from the January 1924 payment on account of income to the
University of Virginia, paying same over to the Soldiers
Home."

With respect to the appointments of new Professors,
Instructors, Assistants, Scholarship and Fellowship holders,
certain necessary increases in salaries, the following was
adopted:

RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors approve of
the action of the President of the University, taken
during the Summer Quarter, in appointing the following
new members of the faculty, instructors, assistants, scholarship
and fellowship holders, and in making the necessary
increases in salaries mentioned.

University), as Health Officer of the University of Virginia
and Assistant Professor of Public Health. This appointment
for the present is without pay and is made upon condition
that arrangements satisfactory to all parties - the University

- can be made:

RESOLVED, further, That the Rector and Visitors authorize
a Committee from the Board, consisting of Messrs. McIntire
and Duke, the President of the University, the Dean of the
Medical Department, and Mr. Allen Perkins, Counsel for the
University to confer with the State Department of Public
Health, and to enter into a contract with the authorities
of the City of Charlottesville and of the County of Albemarle
for the execution of the above purposes.

RESOLVED, further, That Messrs. Souren H. Tashjian and
C. H. Ållman, third year medical students be appointed
Student Assistants with the title of Sanitary Inspector for University Affairs, under the direction of Dr. William
S. Keister and with a remission of their regular tuition
charges, except for laboratory or other special purposes,
and the sum of $1,5000, or so much thereof as may be necessary,
be and is hereby appropriated to carry out this provision.

The President presented to the meeting the following
letter received from Prof. Raleigh C. Minor.

The suggestion of the Superintendent of Buildings and
Grounds as to paving a landing for the use of vehicles at the
Southwest wing of the Rotunda was adopted in the following
resolution:

RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors authorize the paving
of this landing with the understanding that it be done
out of the fund hitherto appropriated for general paving purposes
under the supervision of Mr. Duke and Dr. Lambeth.

The President read the following letter he had received
from E. J. Coltrane, Superintendent of the Roanoke Rapids
Public Schools, with respect to conveying a part of the
Chaloner land, which he had deeded to the Universities of North
Carolina and Virginia.

In connection with the foregoing the following action was
taken:

RESOLVED, That the petition of Mr. E. J. Coltrane, asking
for the conveyance of the University of Virginia's interest

in ten acres of land of the Chaloner tract in Roanoke Rapids,
North Carolina, be referred to Mr. Allen Perkins for investigation
and report to a subsequent meeting of the Board.

Mr. Duke spoke of a matter which had been brought to his
attention concerning the refusal of the Hospital authorities
to take care of a child of about one year old, whose mother
was a patient. The persons in question had come to the Hospital
from one of the Counties west of the Blue Ridge and were
without means to provide the necessary accomodations for the
child elsewhere. The President stated that he would take the
matter up with the Hospital authorities and endeavor to
learn the facts in the situation.

The Rector appointed the following special committee
to appraise the rentals of residences on the grounds:

Messrs. Williams, Duke and Oliver.

On motion the meeting then adjourned.
