MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

CONTRACT WITH VETERANS ADMINISTRATION

The President called the attention of the Board to a resolution adopted by this Board at
its meeting of February 14, 1947, by which Morgan L. Combs, President of Mary Washington College
of the University of Virginia, was authorized to execute, in the name and on behalf of The Rector
and Visitors of the University of Virginia, a contract between said Mary Washington College of the
University of Virginia and Veterans Administration, providing for instruction during the period
from September 1, 1946, to June 30, 1947, inclusive, of Veterans who are approved by the Veterans
Administration as entitled to Vocational Rehabilitation Training under Public Law 16, 78th Congress,
and to furnish books, tools, equipment, etc., necessary for the satisfactory pursuit of the
courses being given, and, by said resolution, E. I. Carruthers, Secretary of said The Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia, was instructed to affix the corporate seal of The Rector
and Visitors of the University of Virginia to said contract and to attest the same. And that said
contract be and is adopted as a contract of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
It will be observed that this resolution provides for the execution of a specific contract for the
session 1946 and 1947. This Board is advised that other contracts of a similar nature between the
University and the Veterans Administration will be necessary for sessions subsequent to the session
of 1946 and 1947, and that it is desirable to have one resolution which will authorize the execution
of these contracts in such subsequent years without specific action of this Board as to each
contract.

It was, thereupon,

RESOLVED that Morgan L. Combs, President of Mary Washington College of the University of
Virginia, said College being a department of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
a Virginia corporation which owns and operates the University of Virginia, and said Mary Washington
College, be and is hereby authorized and directed in the name and on behalf of said Mary Washington
College of the University of Virginia, to execute any contract or contracts between said College and
Veterans Administration that may be approved by him and which will provide for instruction of
Veterans who are approved by the Veterans Administration as entitled to training under Public
Law 346 or to Vocational Rehabilitation Training under Public Law 16, 78th Congress, and any amendments
thereof, and to furnish books, tools, equipment, etc., necessary for the satisfactory pursuit
of the courses to be given; the terms under which said Veterans are to be accepted by the College
to be fully set out in each such contract.

And Vincent Shea, Secretary of this Board, is hereby instructed to affix the corporate
seal of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to said contract, and to attest the
same. And said Morgan L. Combs, President as aforesaid, and Vincent Shea, Secretary, shall report
their actions under this resolution to the next meeting of this Board succeeding the execution and
delivery by them of any such contract.

And a copy of each such contract shall be filed with the minutes of the meeting of this
Board to which such report is made.

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.
