FINANCE COMMITTEE

Messrs. Wilkerson and Gunn, Vice Presidents of the State Planter's Bank, appeared before
the Board and presented the annual report of the Consolidated Endowment Funds for the period January
25, 1951 through January 25, 1952. A copy of this report is filed with the minutes.

Mr. Gunn highlighted the report by pointing out that the earnings on the fund had declined
from 4.77% in 1950 to 4.61% in 1951. This decline is due largely to elimination of year-end dividends
by various companies in which the funds are invested. At the end of the year the market value
of securities held in the fund was $765,000 greater than book value.

The distribution of the investments has changed as follows: in 1948 27% were common stocks;
the year ending January 25, 1952, 41% were in common stocks. In preferred stocks the change represents
a decrease from 1948 to this year of 6%, from 21% to 15%. In the same period, the holding of bonds
has decreased from 50% to 44%.

Mr. Wilkerson stated that there had been a general shift in money rates in the United States.
Prime money now earns 3% as compared with 2-1/2% prior to the Federal Reserve Board discontinuing its
support of government bonds. The result is that you get 3-1/4 to 3.4% on AAA industrial bonds. In
the adjustment, preferred stocks have dropped to bring their yield in line with other securities.

Mr. Wilkerson stated that he believed business was in a packing down period. He thought
that with high taxes and increasing competition, profits would be squeezed, hence, the bank is looking
for low cost producers in which to invest funds. For the present, it is recommended that investments
be made in corporate bonds and preferreds with some additions to common stocks in which we already
have an interest.

On behalf of the Board, The Rector thanked Mr. Gunn and Mr. Wilkerson and stated that he
thought the Consolidated Endowment Fund was being excellently handled.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE

In the absence of Mr. Gay, Chairman of the Finance Committee, The Rector presented the report
of the Finance Committee as set forth below.

"There is submitted herewith the annual report of State-Planters Bank and Trust Company,
fiscal agent, of its management of the Consolidated Endowment Funds of the University for the period
January 25, 1951, to January 25, 1952. I submit the following brief resume of this interesting
report.

The original book value of the General Endowment Fund was $4,566,051.82 when taken over by
the Bank in January of 1947. As of January 25, 1952, the adjusted book value is $5,775,187.36. There
was realized from sales and redemption of securities during the past fiscal year $429,643.38, resulting
in a net capital gain of $37,543.69, which is reported in the above mentioned adjusted book value of
$5,775,187.36. Purchases of and subscriptions to securities during the year amounted to $607,452.14.

The gross adjusted income turned over by the Bank to the Bursar of the University aggregated
$261,984.96, which when related to the average book value during 1951 (weighted average by months)
represented a yield of 4.61%. The latter compares with an average yield of 4,26% for the year 1949,
and 4.77% for the year 1950. The slightly lower average yield for 1951 is attributable largely to the
decrease in the year-end extra dividends paid by Du Pont on the 5,688 shares owned by the University.

It is to be noted that the cost to the University in the handling of the Consolidated Funds
(together with the three subsidiary accounts - Lalla Gresham Ball Scholarship Fund, McMurdo Loan Fund
and the Doherty Foundation Fund) was approximately 19/100ths of 1% of the average book value and included
custody of all securities, collection of all income, continuing supervision and review and
monthly statements to the Bursar and the Finance Committee."

A resolution was adopted approving the Report of the Finance Committee.

RESIGNATION OF DR. LIPPARD

President Darden reported that Yale University had offered Dr. Lippard the deanship of
its Medical School, effective January 1, 1953. The President stated that he had asked Dr. Lippard
if there was anything that the University of Virginia could do to retain him. Dr. Lippard told
the President that he was an alumnus of Yale and was most anxious to return to his Alma Mater.
Dr. Lippard's salary at Yale is to be $20,000 a year.

SELECTION OF A DEAN FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL

President Darden stated that he was appointing a committee to begin the search for a
new dean and that Dr. Lippard would help in every way possible in the six months before his departure.
Dr. Emmett stated that the salary of the dean should be increased to enable us to get
a replacement for Dr. Lippard. He proposed that a part of the earnings of the Clinical Departments
be set aside as a supplement to the salary which the State provides for the dean.

President Darden stated that he had discussed this possibility with Dr. Lippard who
thought it inadvisable for the dean to be compensated from the earnings of the clinicians.

SUHLING CANCER FUND

The President stated that he had received a letter from Mrs. Mary R. White requesting
that the fund which she established known as the Mary S. Royster Fund be changed to the Mary S.
Suhling Cancer Fund, in memory of her daughter, with the proviso that if at any time the income
was no longer needed for cancer research, it could be used for research in some other field in
the discretion of the Board. Also enclosed from Mr. and Mrs. White were securities with a market
value of approximately $11,000 to be added to the fund. A resolution was adopted by the Board
approving the change in the fund as set forth in Mrs. White's letter.

UNCOLLECTIBLE HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS

The Report of the Hospital Accounts Committee charging off $8,933.22 as uncollectible
accounts was approved.

V CLUB SCHOLARSHIP

The President presented the following proposal for the establishment of a scholarship
fund by the V Club:

"The V Club of the University of Virginia proposes to establish a tuition scholarship
to be awarded to an entering undergraduate male student residing in Virginia, who has graduated
from a Virginia public or private high school. The criteria which we wish to establish for this
award are as follows:

• 1. That the recipient of the award must rank scholastically in the upper half of his
  graduating class.

• 2. That the recipient of the award shall have demonstrated outstanding athletic ability
  during his secondary school period.

• 3. That the recipient of the award be a person of high moral character and that he
  manifest such personal qualities as to be, in the opinion of the awarding authorities,
  a credit to this institution and to the cause of collegiate athletics.

• 4. That the recipient of the award demonstrate financial need.

The V Club desires to reserve the right to make primary nominations of candidates for
this award. Final approval shall rest with the University and its appointed officials. Should
none of the V Club's nominees be eligible for this award in the judgment of the University or
should the V Club fail to nominate any candidate for this award, other qualified applicants may
be considered for award."

A resolution was adopted approving the proposal.

SCHOOL AND DEPARTMENT

President Darden pointed out that confusion constantly arose in this University because
of the use of the term School and Department in exactly the opposite sense followed by other institutions.
For example, we speak of the Department of Law and the School of Chemistry, and in
other institutions the names would be School of Law and Department of Chemistry. The University
Senate, at the request of the several faculties of the University, asked the President to present
to the Board a proposal to change these names in accordance with nomenclature followed elsewhere.
Thereupon, a resolution was adopted approving the change.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

The President informed the Board that insufficient funds had been appropriated by the
last Legislature to operate the hospital during the next biennium without a deficit. This deficit
is estimated for the first year of the biennium to exceed $300,000. The President pointed out
that unless additional funds were provided by the Governor, it would be necessary to close a
sizeable part of the hospital. He has requested a study of this matter so that he can advise the
Governor just what closing will be necessary.

Judge Howard Smith inquired if the hospital could not be turned over to some other
State agency for operation to provide care for the indigents of the State.

Dr. Emmett said that he feels it is essential that the hospital be operated by the University
to insure that facilities are provided to maintain the high standard of teaching in the
Medical School. The President said that he had discussed with the dean the possibility of getting
the State Welfare Department to operate the hospital but that Dr. Lippard had expressed the same
sentiments as Dr. Emmett, that the separation of the hospital and Medical School would impair the
quality of the teaching.

After discussion, a resolution was adopted requesting the Medical Committee to investigate
the relationship of Medical Schools and State Hospitals in other states, exploring in particular
the possibility of placing the University Hospital under the administration of some other

EASEMENT TO THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

The President stated that the City Manager had requested an additional easement on Lambeth
Field to install a larger pumping station which was needed to serve the Rugby Road area. This would
simply be an enlargement of an easement granted by the Board in 1942. The request was granted, subject
to the approval by the President of the particular site to be used for the pumping station and
approval of the plans for the building, by the University.

REQUEST OF DR. DAVID C. WILSON FOR AN ADDITIONAL ROOM

The President presented a letter from Dr. David C. Wilson, who had been assigned the Lentz
house on East Range, requesting that a student room on East Range be assigned to him as a study.
The Board unanimously denied the request and asked the Secretary to write Dr. Wilson, advising him
of the policy of the Board to return to student occupancy all rooms now assigned to pavilions.

RETIREMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE EMPLOYEES

With the adoption by the State Legislature of an Act making it compulsory for all State
employees to be covered by Social Security and with the establishment of a Supplemental State Retirement
System, it is now possible to require all administrative employees to retire upon reaching their
seventieth birthday.

The following resolution was adopted by the Board:

RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that all administrative
employees shall retire on the first day of July after they shall have reached their respective seventieth
birthdays, and all administrative employees who, as of this date, have passed their seventieth
birthday shall retire on July 1, 1952.

ADMISSION OF CHARLOTTESVILLE & ALBEMARLE COUNTY GIRLS TO THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

The President informed the Board that Dr. McShane of the Mathematics Department had been
offered the Chairmanship of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, at a
salary of $11,000. The Governor had authorized Mr. Darden to offer Mr. McShane $9,500 but Mr. McShane
has raised a question which the President wished the Board to consider.

Under present University regulations, local girls are admitted to the Department of Education
from high school, but they are not admitted to the College. Girls other than local girls must
complete two years of college before admission, and may not enter the College. Mr. McShane raised
the question whether or not the University would be willing to admit to the College the daughters
of members of the faculty, as the cost of sending his daughters elsewhere for a liberal arts education
would be quite sizeable and if he goes to the University of Minnesota they can live at home
while studying.

The first question to be settled is whether the Board has authority, under State law, to
admit local girls to the College. The Secretary was requested to secure an opinion from the Attorney
for the University. Action on the matter was deferred until this opinion could be obtained.

RETIREMENT OF FACULTY MEMBERS

The President stated that there was now before Congress a proposal to increase Social
Security benefits and, at the same time, open up Social Security to certain categories not now
covered, among such persons would be the faculty members of State supported institutions. He asked
the Board to be thinking about the possibility, should this bill pass, of requiring faculty members
to retire at 65 with annual extension until age 70 to be made in the discretion of the Board.

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The President pointed out that the campaign to raise funds for the Graduate School was
moving quite rapidly and unless there was objection he would like to start looking for a dean to
head up the school.

BONUS

A bonus of $500 for full professors, $400 for associate and assistant professors, and $300
for instructors will be paid for the session 1952-53 out of the $75,500 provided by the Governor,
plus an additional $20,000 from University sources.

CORRECTION IN TITLE OF MR. RAISZ

Mr. Erwin Raisz, who was elected Lecturer in Geography at the May meeting of the Board,
should have been elected Acting Professor of Geography. The following resolution was adopted.

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that Dr. Erwin Raisz be and he is hereby elected Acting Professor of Geography, part-time,
for the session of 1952-53.

BUDGET

Enrollment is estimated to decline from approximately 3,300 to 3,000 for the 1952-53
session.

Total revenues are estimated at $5,499,905 and expenditures at $5,485,456, leaving a
surplus of $14,449. We are carrying forward approximately $235,000 from this biennium representing
tuition and fees owed us by the Veterans Administration and the Department of Defense which
gives us an adequate reserve should our enrollment estimates be too high.

After discussion of various phases of the budget, a resolution was adopted approving the
budget as presented.
