Report of the Faculty Committee on educational program
for the Blandy Experimental Farm was presented, read and
approved, as follows:

President Edwin A. Alderman,
University of Virginia.
My dear President Alderman:

After due deliveration and careful study, supplemented
by a personal interview with several agricultural
experts at V. P. I., the committee on "Blandy Experimental
Farm" is of the opinion that the tentative educational program
submitted below is practical, and furthermore, that it
will (1) comply with the will of the donor, (2) be a service
to the people of the State, and (3) will not conflict with
the work which is now being done at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. In light of these facts then, the following
recommendations are made:

1. The appointment of a professor of Agricultural
Biology who will also be director of the Blandy Experimental
Farm. During the fall and winter terms this man should give
courses at the University of Virginia. During the spring
and summer months he should reside at the farm and direct
the educational work given under the auspices of the school,


209

supervise the investigations conducted by the students
and undertake such research work as time and opportunity
permit.

II. The establishment of five research fellowships, two
carrying an annual stipend of $1,000.00 each, and three
with stipends of $500.00 each, all of them including the
remission of University fees. These fellowships should be
open only to the holders of baccalaureate degrees in agriculture
or biology and conferred on the basis of merit.
All fellows are to be appointed annually and are eligible
for reappointment. The holder of one of these fellowships
would be expected to give approximately one hundred hours
of his time per year to assisting with imparting information
pertaining to agriculture or horticulture to the people of
the state, particularly to the people in the immediate vicinity
of the farm. Such work would comprise talks, demonstrations,
exhibits, compilation of data to be used for
the farmer's benefit and other similar things. It should
be emphasized, however, that these are primarily research
fellowships.

III. Appointment of an advisory council consisting of
from five to seven local people, the director and manager of
the Blandy Experimental Farm being members ex officio.
These people could gather at regular or called meetings and
discuss affairs relating to the local usefulness of this
unit.

As to the instructional work, it is believed that efforts
along this line should be in two directions:

1. The director and fellows, working in conjunction
with state and federal agriculturalists, and in so far as
practical, cooperating with the agricultural units at the
Boyce and Berryville High School, at Boyce, and the Handley
High School at Winchester, shall organize such courses of instruction
as are practical and will be beneficial to the
people of that vicinity. It appears that the most feasible
plan for the present will be to organize several intensive
short-courses of about five days duration. From five to
six such courses could be given each year. The subjects
to be discussed and the time the courses are to be given
could be determined by the advisory council. In this
way the staff would, for part of their time, actually
"teach boys farming in its various branches, ocluding fruit
raising".

2. Fellows, or others desiring to take work in this
field, should register in the department of graduate studies,


210

at the University of Virginia, and take courses leading
to graduate degrees in agriculture and biology. Courses
of particular value in this connection would be: Genetics,
Plant Physiology, Forestry, Entomology, Chemistry of Soils,
Bacteriology, Economic Geology, Plant Pathology and Morophology,
and Biometry. Some of these courses are already
provided and most of the others could be arranged for without
additional expenditures. The fellows would be expected
to confine their class work to the fall and winter terms,
moving to the farm in the spring with the director to
begin, or to continue, their research, and also to assume
their duties in helping to carry out the local education al
program. Their work on the frm would continue through
the spring and summer months. While there, they could be
adequately housed in the ten-room brick building (Exhibit
A). The second floor rooms of this building could be used
as dormitories, while the rooms on the first floor could be
converted into laboratories. No rent is to be charged for
the rooms, but but the students will have to pay for their
meals. This may be a difficult proposition, but it is believed
that satisfactory arrangements can be made.

Aside from the real need of a school in the state where
advanced training in agriculture may be obtained, the importance
of research and its relation to farming problems
cannot be over emphasized. Agriculture is the backbone
of stable government and its efficiency has been increased
by the application of scientific methods. In this manner
insect pests have been combatted, increased yields have been
produced and the peoples of the world have been fed with
less and less effort. To train men to do efficient research
is the best method of dignifying and making profitable
agriculture as a basic industry, and would, in this case,
supplement and give point to the actual instruction
provided for in the previous paragraph.

Estimates for cost of operation according to the plan
herein set forth are:

Annual Expenditures

           

211

   
Professor's salary  11 mos. basis  $4,000.00

The Bursar asked for instructions from the Board with
respect to depositing the funds received for erection of
the new medical buildings and stated that the local banks
were willing to accept the same with interest thereon at
the rate of 4% per annum on certificates of deposit if
they are not required to make deposit of either marketable
securities or directors' bond as surety for same; or, with
interest at 3% per annum and make deposit of either securities
or directors' bond as surety. The matter was disposed
of in the following motion unanimously adopted:

RESOLVED, That the Bursar is hereby authorized
with reference to the funds received for erection of
the medical buildings and now on deposit in the Peoples
National Bank and the National Bank of Charlottesville
to arrange with said banks for the payment of 3%
interest on said deposits with the payment of the
same secured by deposit with said Bursar of either
marketable securities or bonds of the directors to
cover the sums so deposited.

The President read a letter from Mr. Fred W. Scott,
Chairman of the Finance Committee, in which he stated that
he had directed the Administrator of the estate of the
late John Alexander Muir, Mr. Gardner L. Boothe, to deliver
the cash and securities bequeathed to the University of
Virginia, to the State-Planters Bank and Trust Company,
of Richmond, to hold same as custodian for the University,
but, as the said bank had not been formally designated
as a custodian for the University, it was desirable that
such action be now taken by the Board, whereupon, the following
motion, duly made and seconded, was adopted:

RESOLVED, That at the request of the Chairman
of the Finance Committee the Bursar is directed to
deposit the funds and securities arising from the
estate of John Alexander Muir in the State-Planters
Bank and Trust Company, of Richmond, on the usual
terms as to security and interest.

The President stated to the Board that he had made
arrangements for an Institute of Public Affairs to be held
annually at the University sometime during the session
of the Summer Quarter and presented the following tentative
plan:


214

After consultation with many leaders in public affairs
and friends of the University, it has been decided with
their help and the cooperation of others who may become
interested in the enterprise, to establish at the University
of Virginia, an Institute of Public Affairs to be convened
annually for two or more weeks as may hereafter be determined,
sometime during the session of the Summer Quarter, probably
in August.

The Institute will be organized and conducted in a
manner somewhat similar to the one at Williamstown, Massachusetts,
but instead of dealing with international relations,
will limit its program to a study and discussion
of national, state and local governmental problems and to
questions of economics and social relations underlying
them.

It will be the aim of the institute to secure on its
program for study and discussion, the best scholars and research
workers available in the fields of Political Science,
Economics and Social Relations as well as outstanding men
and women in practical politics and public service.

It will, therefore, be conducted on broad and liberal
lines and will be national in scope and it is hoped will
atract here, in addition to those who are formally on the
program, a large number of men and women now interested
in public affairs, who will participate in the round table
discussions, which will be made a prominent feature of the
program.

The first session will be held in August, 1927. In
addition to the administration officers of the University,
who will have immediate charge, there will be an advisory
board of twenty-five or more leaders in public affiars, selected
from all sections of the country and from both
political parties who will assist in selecting the topics
for discussion and the personnel of the program.

Mr. Perkins, Attorney for the University, presented
to the Board the situation with reference to the progress
being made in the settlement of the estate of Graham
F. Blandy, deceased, and explained to the Board that
in his opinion it is essential that a chancery suit be instituted
in order that certain phases of the will of said
Blandy may be judicially construed. In the opinion of
Mr. Perkins the most important reason for the institution of
such a proceeding is the definite and final determination
of the sufficiency of the notice given by the University
to said Trustee to conduct the property in Clarke County,
devised to the University by said Blandy, as specified under
said will.

Unless this question is definitely settled by a Court
of competent jurisdiction prior to the final distribution


215

of the residuum of the Estate it will arise before the
New York Surrogate of such final distribution.

Furthermore, it is important that the respective
rights of Mr. Blandy's widow and of the University be
fixed in the roadways which pass over her property
and that of the University.

After a discussion of Mr. Perkins' report, it was

RESOLVED, That the Attorney for the University
be, and is hereby instructed to file such answer on behalf
of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
to the bill which is to filed on behalf of Mrs. Blandy
as he may think proper, and that said Attorney is further
instructed to protect the interests of the University
so far as possible with reference to the determination
of rights of way or other easements over or upon the land
devised by Graham F. Blandy to the University.

Furthermore, since it is the view of this Board
that the work done upon said farm by Mrs. Blandy and by
the Estate of Graham F. Blandy, deceased, and materials
furnished by them in the operation and maintenance
of the farm from March 25th, 1926, the date of Mr. Blandy's
death, until August 1st, 1926, the date when the University
took possession of the property enures to the benefit
of the property devised that it is proper that all amounts
expended on this account be Mrs. Blandy and by the Estate
should be refunded to them, and a proper allowance made to
said Mrs. Blandy for the use of the farm machinery, teams,
etc.

The Attorney for the University is therefore
instructed to make settlement of this account in an amount
not to exceed the sum of $1600.00.

The petition of the Nu Charge House Corporation,
and the Chi Holding Corporation for easement on the road
leading from Rugby Road to the entrance to the athletic field
was referred to the Attorney of the University for opinion
as to whether or not the University had power to grant same.

The Rector and Secretary were authorized to unite in a
release deed to A. Matacia in the following motion, duly
made and seconded.

Whereas the Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia hold a deed of trust, of record in the
Office of the Clerk of the Corporation Court of the
City of Charlottesville, in D. B. 49 p. 474, upon
the property of A. Matacia on the South side of Main
Street in the City of Charlottesville, Va., fronting


216

50 ft. and 6 in. thereon, securing 4 bonds bearing
date of Jan. 16, 1925 and aggregating $10,000; and
whereas the said A. Matacia desires to sell a small
triangular strip of said property fronting 10 ft.
3 in. on Main Street and extending back 79 ft. and
3 in. on its west side to a point and 82 ft. 3 in.
on its east side to the same point and is desirous of
having this deed of trust released as to this small
portion; and whereas it has been shown to this
Board that the remainder of the property is worth
more than double the debt secured

THEREFORE, be it resolved by this Board that
its Rector and Secretary be, and they are hereby
authorized to unite in a proper deed authorizing
the Trustees in said deed of trust to release
the same and convey the legal title as to the small
portion above described and which the said A. Matacia
desires to sell.

The Committee on Buildings and Grounds presented the
following report, in the shape of a resolution, with respect
to parking of students' automobiles on the grounds of the
University which, on motion, duly made and seconded, was
adopted:

of the University of Virginia that motor driven
vehicles either owned or operated by students
are prohibited from parking in the roadways and
alleys of the University Campus between the hourse
of 8:30 in the morning and 4:30 in the afternoon.

This resolution shall not be construed in such
a manner as to prevent the President of the University
from issuing parking permits to students suffering
from serious physical disability, or to students
who live more than two miles outside the city limits.

A site on which to erect a chapter house and a
loan to assist in erecting same were granted the Alpha
Chi Rho fraternity in the following motion, duly
seconded and adopted:

RESOLVED, by the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, That Building lot No. 6
located on the Barracks Road, as indicated in report
of the Special Committee on sites for Fraternity
Houses, made to the Board at its meeting June 14,
1926, be and the same is hereby allocated to the
Alpha Chi Rho Fraternity for the purpose of erecting
a chapter house, under the usual form of lease
in similar cases, and the Rector be and is hereby
authorized to execute such lease on behalf of the
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.

Resolved, further, That provided the Alpha Chi
Rho fraternity erects a chapter house in conformity
with plans and specifications, approved by the Superintendent


218

of Buildings and Grounds and the Professor
of Art and Architecture, the Finance Committee
is requested to arrange for a loan to said fraternity
with such terms and conditions of payment as
may be satisfactory to the said committee, such loan
however, not to exceed one-half of the cost of said
chapter house.

The President read to the Board a letter dated April
22nd, 1927, from the Rev. George Floyd Rogers charing
Mr. William E. Knight, Associate Professor of Spanish,
with having "an ungoverned temper" and having "made false
and conflicting statements" in the recent rrial of his
son by the Honor Committee of the University, and after
discussion, and upon motion duly made and seconded it was

RESOLVED, That a committee of three members of
this Board be appointed to investigate said charges
and make a report at the next meeting of the Board.

That Mr. Rogers be advised of the appointment of
the Committee and be requested to present within ten
days to it, a more detailed statement in writing of
the specific charges preferred by him against Mr.
Knight.

The Rector appointed the following gentlemen to serve
on the Committee mentioned above; Messrs. Hall, Buchanan
and McIntire.

The Bursar stated to the Board that while the Peoples
National Bank of Charlottesville had been duly designated
by resolution of the Board as one of the depositories
of the University for its endowment funds, no formal
contract had ever been executed setting forth the duties
and compensation, and that as the said depository was
now holding some thirty funds of the University endowments
it was desirable that a contract be entered into. He presented
the proposed contract which was read and approved,
and the following motion, duly seconded, was adopted:

RESOLVED, by the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, That the Rector be and he is
hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Rector
and Visitors a contract with the Peoples National
Bank of Charlottesville, Va., in the following form
for the care of securities belonging to trust funds
of the University, collection of the income thereon
and reporting same to the Bursar, and the Secretary
is authorized to attest the same.


219

The Bursar reported that he had visited Boston on
April 11th for the purpose of receiving the Austin Estate
from Messrs. Warren and Garfield, Trustees, and same was
received and delivered to the Peoples National Bank,
custodian, as directed at the last meeting of the Board.
The estate consisted of cash and securities of the value
of $439,652.73, as follows:

To the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia.
Gentlemen:

I beg to advise that, pursuant to instructions
given me at the March 1st meeting of the Board, I
called on Bentley W. Warren and Irvin McD. Garfield,
trustees of the Estate of Arthur W. Austin, on April
11th and received from them the corpus of the estate
consisting of the following:

       
Cash  $20,881.48 
Sundry stocks of market
value of Jan. 11th, 1927 
366,737.50 
Sundry bonds of market
value of Jan. 11th,
1927 of 
52,133.75 
Total  $439,652.73 

(See journal of Bursar p. 288)

Also a check for $7,157.33 representing the balance
of the income in their hands as of April 12th, 1927,
the date on which the settlement was completed.

The cash and securities belonging to the corpus
of the estate have been deposited with the Peoples
National Bank as custodian, in accordance with the
directions of the Board, and a complete list of same
furnished the Chairman of the Finance Committee. The
check representing the accumulated income has been
placed to the credit of the income account of the
estate on the books of the Bursar.

While in Boston, in compliance with your instruction,
I made inquiry of Mr. Warren with respect
to the request of Mrs. Mary A. McLaughlin that the
University pay off the lien of $18,000 placed upon
store and apartment property in order to purchase a


220

residence for herself and husband, which request was
reported to you at the March 1st meeting. Mr.
Warren stated that while he had no personal or written
request from Mrs. McLaughlin regarding the matter,
yet, he was satisfied in his own mind that the message
as delivered to him by Mr. McLaughlin was the one
she has requested be conveyed; that at the time of
receipt of the message she was too ill to have
written the request - her death coming almost immediately
after the request was received by him and transmitted
to the University. He further stated that he had a
very high regard for the honor and integrity of Mr.
McLaughlin and was fully satisfied of its authenticity.

Mr. Warren then had Mr. McLaughlin come to his
office where I had a personal interview with him resulting
in the following information; he is 59 years
of age; Mrs. McLaughlin was in her 67th year; they
owned three store rooms with apartments above in
West Roxbury, valued at approximately $35,000; they
are located in a district of cheap property and are
without tenants some portion of the time. The net
income from this property is approximately $1,000
per year. A lien was placed on this property for
$18,000 to purchase the residence as their home, for
which they paid $19,000. The residence is an old
one containing 12 rooms in a district where property
is difficult to rent, and that it now was now vacant.
The property has been for sale since his wife's death
but no purchaser has been found. He received about
$900 from his wife's estate which would be taken up
in paying her bills. Mrs. McLaughlin spent $2,500 per
year for 5 years in educating a niece at Wellesley,
as well as some $3,000 in educating a nephew.

Mr. McLaughlin is in the lime and cement business
with a brother from which business he says he receives
from $1,000 to $2,000 per year.

They had been married about 25 years, and Mr. Warren
stated that Mr. McLaughlin had been a very devoted
husband and a great comfort to his wife. He further
stated that he wished it understood that he held no
brief for Mr. McLaughlin in this matter, having transmitted
the message as requested, but he felt, that if
the University could see its way to make some payment
to Mr. McLaughlin he thought it would be worthily
bestowed.


221

I discussed with Mr. Warren the question of the
propriety of the University's erecting a suitable
marker at the grave of the deceased and he was of
the opinion that it would be a gracious recognition
on the part of the University of the generosity of
Mrs. McLaughlin.

Respectfully submitted,
E. I. Carruthers,
Bursar.

The Bursar submitted his report in the matter of the
request of Mrs. Mary A. McLaughlin for contribution from
the University of $18,000.00 to pay off the mortgage
on her property. After some discussion of the matter it
was referred to the attorney for the University for his
opinion as to the power of the Board to make any such
grant.

The President presented the budget of estimated
receipts and expenses for 1927-28, which was considered
in detail and adopted as follows:
