DEED OF GIFT OF $10,000.00
FROM AN ANONYMOUS DONOR
TO THE RECTOR AND VISITORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
TO ESTABLISH
THE RICHARD HENRY WHITEHEAD SCHOLARSHIP FUND
IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
1. This Deed of Gift establishes for the Department of
Medicine of the University of Virginia a Fund to be known as
the Richard Henry Whitehead Scholarship Fund as a memorial
to Richard Henry Whitehead, Professor of Anatomy and Dean of
the Department of Medicine of the University of Virginia from
1906 to 1916. This memorial is to take the form of a scholarship
or scholarships to students in the Department of Medicine
of the University of Virginia, these scholarships to
be known as the Richard Henry Whitehead Scholarships and referred
to hereinafter as the Whitehead Scholarships.
2. To establish and maintain the aforesaid Richard Henry
Whitehead Scholarship Fund,- the sum of $10,000 is herewith
paid to the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
or their successors, hereinafter referred to as the Rector
and Visitors or the holding board. The said Rector and Visitors
or their successors shall invest the original capital fund
of $10,000.00 and those additions to the same provided for in
Section 3 in such securities as are at the time of investment
customarily used by the trustees of American universities
for the investment of their endowment funds, and shall use
the income from these investments, as hereinafter directed.
The Rector and Visitors are also empowered to receive, with
or without restrictions as to investment, additions to the
Whitehead Scholarship Fund from other sources, provided the
income from these additions is expended for the same purpose
and in the manner provided in sections 5, 6, and 7 of this
deed of gift.
3. During the first twenty years after the establishment
of the Whitehead Scholarship Fund, the Rector and Visitors
shall on each anniversary of the establishment of the
said Fund or on such other annual date as may best fit the
business program of the University of Virginia add one-fifth
of the income of the previous year to the principal of the
Fund and from time to time, as the accumulated additions and
the state of the investment market make investment desirable,
invest the same in the securities indicated in Section 2
of this deed, pending investment the investment the annual
additions shall be deposited on interest in Virginia savings
banks. At the end of each twenty year period the Rector and
Visitors may at their discretion increase or decrease the
percentage of the annual income to be added to the existing
principal of the Fund, provided that in no case shall this
addition be less than one-fifth nor more than one-third the
annual income.
4. The annual income remaining after the aforesaid addition
to the principal shall be paid to the holder or holders of the
Whitehead Scholarship or Scholarships, awarded by the committee
of the Medical Faculty of the Medical Faculty of the University
of Virginia as hereinafter provided.
5. The appointments to be Whitehead Scholarships shall
be made by a committee of the Medical Faculty of the University
of Virginia - hereinafter referred to as the Whitehead
Scholarship Committee, - consisting of the Dean of the
Department of Medicine, Chairman, ex-Officio, and the
full professors of Gross and Microscopic Anatomy, Biochemistry,
Physiology, Bacteriology, Pathology, and Pharmacology. The
Whitehead Scholarship Committee is herewith authorized to
make from time to time such changes in the personel of the
Committee as they think wise, subject to the approval of the
Rector and Visitors, as follows, the proposed change or changes
in personel shall be submitted by the Whitehead Scholarship
Committee at least three months in advance of the next meeting
of the Rector and Visitors and shall go into effect immediately
after the aforesaid meeting of the Rector and Visitors, unless
disapproved by that time by the Rector and Visitors.
The said Whitehead Scholarship Committee is herewith
charged with the duty of determining the terms upon which the
scholarships shall be awarded, the number of such scholarships,
and the stipend to be paid to each recipient, with the sole
proviso that the terms of award of the scholarship adopted
by the Whitehead Scholarship Committee are subject to the veto
of the Rector and Visitors in the same manner and under
the same conditions as provided in this section in the case of
Committee.
6. The donor would define his object in this gift as
the establishment of a memorial to Dr. Whitehead in harmony
with the ideals of service which characterized Dr. Whitehead's
life work.
The donor belives that it is unwise to attach to such
a gift perpetual and fixed restrictions since such restrictions
might at some future time hamper the best use of the
fund. Therefore the Whitehead Scholarship Committee with the
approval of the holding board is authorized after forty years
from the date of this gift to alter from time to time any of
the restrictions, provided only that the fund used either
directly or indirectly to aid deserving students to prepare
themselves for any branch of medicine-whether it be teaching,
research, or practice.
7. The income of the fund may be used to assist any
deserving student in the Medical Department of the University
of Virginia without regard to the time such students have
previously spent in their medical studies. But, since it is
the donor's hope that the fund will in general be used to aid
students whose future work will contribute to the progress of
medical knowledge, it is not probable that it will often
be possible to judge a students' qualifications for this kind
of work before the end of the second year of his medical
studies. The donor believes that the purpose of the fund
would be admirably served if it were used to encourage promising
students of medicine to enter upon a career of medical
teaching or medical research either in the medical sciences or
in the clinical branches. To accomplish this object the
Whitehead Scholarship Committee might consider it advisable
to award the scholarship, with suitable obligations, to the
same individual for a number of years.
The above deed of gift is herewith, at the request of
the anonymous donor, transmitted through me, as Dean of the
Department of Medicine of the University of Virginia to the
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
Dean, Department of Medicine
University of Virginia September 24, 1923
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WHITEHEAD SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
These scholarships have been established in the Department
expressed in the two following paragraphs of the deed
of gift.
"The donor would define his object in this gift as the
establishment of a memorial to Dr. Whitehead in harmony with
the ideals of service which characterized Dr. Whitehead's
life work."
"Since it is the donor's hope that the fund will in
general be used to aid students whose future work will contribute
to the progress of medical knowledge, it is not
probable that it will often be possible to judge a student's
qualification for this kind of work before the end of the
second year of his medical studies. The donor believes that
the purpose of this fund would be admirably served if it were
used to encourage promising students of medicine to enter
upon a career of medical teaching or medical research either
in the medical sciences or in the clinical branches."
The determination of the conditions of appointment and
the appointments themselves are placed by the deed of gift in
the hand of the Whitehead Scholarship Committee, consisting
of the Dean of the Department of Medicine, chairman ex officio,
and the full professors of the medical sciences. Accordingly
the present committee consists of Drs. Hough, Bean, Jordan,
Marshall, and Waddell. This Committee herewith makes the
following announcement of the terms of appointment.
1. Two scholarships are established, the income of the
Whitehead Scholarship Fund being divided equally between the
two. For the session 1923-24 the emolument of each scholarship
will be $200. It is expected to be somewhat larger than
this in subsequent years, - about $240.00 for the session
"24-25 and increasing slightly each year thereafter.
2. Appointments are open to all students who have completed
the second or the third year of the medical course and
also to Graduates of the Academic Department of the University
of Virginia who have completed the first year of the medical
course. The Committee however feels that only in exceptional
cases will they be in a position to judge wisely of the
qualifications of a student before the completion of his second
year in medicine, nor is it likely that the student himself
will often be in a position to decide wisely between the
alternative of private practice or a career of medical teaching
or research before the completion of the second year in
medicine.
3. The appointment are made for a period of one year
only; but may be renewed and will always be renewed for at least
scholarship. The tenure of the scholarship may be prolonged
to three or even to a maximum of four years in the case of
those who show distinct aptitude for and attainment in research.
4. Acceptance of an appointment to a Whitehead Scholarship
implies that the student is attracted toward a career of medical
teaching or medical research either in the fundamental medical
sciences or in the clinical branches. The recipient assumes
no contractual obligation to enter upon this career after
graduation nor is it required that the money be repaid in case
of change of decision as to his life work. It is, however, a
gentleman's understanding between all recipients and the Committee
that students will not apply for appointment unless they are
really attracted toward those fields of medical work which, in
the words of the deed of gift, "contribute to the advance of
medical knowledge" and unless they have at the time of appointment
the intention of giving the career of teacher or investigator
a fair trial of at least one year after graduation. This may
be done by acceptance of a teaching or research position after
graduation, either in the University of Virginia or elsewhere.
5. The first appointment to a Whitehead Scholarship must
always be made while the recipient is a student in the Medical
Department of the University of Virginia; but reappointments may
extend over one or more years following graduation, whether the
student continues his studies in the University of Virginia
or elsewhere. Reappointments after graduation will in no case
be made for the year of an ordinary hospital internship. Reappointments
after graduation however are consistent with the
acceptance of teaching fellowships or research fellowships in
the University of Virginia or elsewhere.
6. In all cases the recipient of a Whitehead Scholarship
will be expected to prove his interest in the advance of medical
knowledge by undertaking in addition to his required medical
course some special study in the medical sciences or clinical
branches and to submit before the end of the year a thesis
giving the result of completed work or a statement of the progress
of incompleted work.
7. Hereafter applications for appointment to a Whitehead
Scholarship must be made prior to June 15 each year to the Dean
of the Department of Medicine on blank forms supplied for this
purpose. Applications for reappointment must similarly be made
on the same forms accompanied by evidence of special work of
a research character undertaken during the previous year of
tenure.
