MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

NEW BUILDINGS

A verbal report for the Committee on Mary Washington College was made by Mrs. Wailes, Chairman.
Mrs. Wailes pointed out that the need for certain new buildings at Mary Washington was becoming
crucial, particularly an addition to the cold storage plant and a new infirmary. She proposed the
following resolution, which was adopted by the Board.

RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the Governor be requested to release the appropriations approved by the General Assembly for construction
to meet emergency building requirements, i. e., a cold storage plant of $40,000 which necessitates
an addition to the dining hall building ($109,115), and an infirmary of $158,837.

CONVERSION TO LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE

The matter of the conversion of Mary Washington College to a liberal arts college was referred
to the Mary Washington Committee with the directive that the committee meet with the officials at Mary
Washington College and prepare a statement suggesting a plan to accomplish this conversion, this statement
to be mailed to the members of the Board prior to the June meeting.

There being no further business to come before the meeting, the same was adjourned after a
motion to that effect had been made, seconded, and carried.
