FEBRUARY MEETING OF BOARD

Mr. Black said that he had received a call from President Combs of Mary Washington,
requesting that the February meeting of the Board of Visitors be held on the 21st instead of the
14th, as bids on the new dormitory were due on the 19th. Dr. Combs desires approval of these bids
as soon as possible with the hope that the new building might be ready by the start of the 1953-54
session. After discussing the matter, a resolution was adopted empowering the Executive Committee
of the Board to accept the bids and award the contract, subject to approval by the Governor.
