LIZZIE B. MILLER PROPERTY AT ELKTON

The Rector reported that Mr. Perkins, Attorney for the University, had investigated the
possible sale of this property as directed by the Board. He received a private bid for the property
of $40,000, which he considered too low. His recommendation was that the property be sold by
public auction as soon as possible, as this is the season when farm land in that area of the State
customarily brings the highest price. Before an auction could take place a survey of the property
was necessary, which Mr. Black authorized. Whereupon the following resolution was adopted.

BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia hereby approves and endorses the action of the Rector, Barron F. Black, in authorizing a
survey of the Lizzie B. Miller property, and the action of the Executive Committee in authorizing
the sale of this property at public auction, at a starting figure of $40,000.
