student at Hollins College whose father has died during the present session. In recommending
Miss Davenport's admission, Mr. Bice said that her application has not yet been received, but is
expected shortly, and there is a question whether to regard her as a daughter of a professor or of
a former professor.

On motion of Mr. Talbott duly seconded, the Board resolved that the established policy of the
University be adhered to in considering an application from Miss Davenport if an application is
received.

CHAMBERLAIN PROPERTY

The President presented a letter of 16 December 1955 from the Comptroller regarding the
property owned by Mr. Bernard P. Chamberlain adjacent to the University. Mr. Chamberlain wishes
to sell the property to the University or to divide it into four lots and obtain four rights-of-way
from the University.

After some dissenting opinions were expressed regarding additional rights of way, the matter
was carried over to the next meeting

PHI DELTA THETA REQUEST DENIED

President Darden laid before the Board a letter from the Comptroller conveying a request

adoption

PROPOSAL FOR AN ACCEPTANCE DEPOSIT OF

Applications Received Prior to June 20

Beginning with the entering class of 1956 all applicants who have been accepted must
deposit $50 with the Law School Admission Office on or before June 20 or within one
week of acceptance, whichever is later. The purpose of such deposit is to facilitate
the Law School in determining the number of entering students in order not to prejudice
delayed applications. All deposits will be credited on tuition. Refunds will be
granted on request if received on or before June 20.

Requests for refunds received after June 20 will be granted only for compelling cause,
such as illness or military service

Applications Received After June 20

All applications submitted after June 20 must be accompanied by a tuition deposit
of $50. Requests for refunds will be granted only if the application is rejected
or for compelling cause, such as illness or military service.

After discussion the Board resolved that the foregoing proposal be approved and adopted.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FEES REDUCED

President Darden presented a recommendation by the Dean of Medicine, concurred in by the
Dean of Mary Washington College and approved by the Comptroller of the University, that the
tuition fee for the course in Medical Technology be reduced from the present schedule of $210.00
to $100.00

Following a discussion of the matter the Board resolved accordingly that the tuition fee
for Medical Technology be reduced to $100.00 for all students

increases in rentals of dormitory rooms in the University of $25.00 and $35.00 per

schedule be approved and adopted effective for the 1956-1957 session

duPONT COMPANY SECURITIES

Mr. Mears, quoting from a long letter from the State Planters Bank, University fiscal agent,
reported that the Finance Committee had overruled one of the Bank's proposals for sales of certain
stocks and the purchase of bonds as a means of bringing total investments into better balance,
namely, the sale of a portion of the stocks held by the University in the E. I. du Pont de Nemours
Company. After consulting with Messrs. Gray and Talbott, Mr. Mears had directed the Bank to retain
all of the du Pont stocks. The Committee had been moved in part, Mr. Mears said, by a high regard
for du Pont stocks as investment property and confidence in the current favorable outlook for these
stocks, and in part out of courtesy to the du Pont family who donated these securities to the
University. Mr. Mears requested the Board's opinion on (1) the current decision of the Finance
Committee and (2) the policy to be followed in regard to du Pont stocks.

After extensive discussion the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the recent decision of the Finance Committee of the Board to retain all the University's present
holdings of securities of the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company be and it is hereby approved

RESOLVED further that the foregoing resolution of approval of a specific action shall carry for
future policy no implication of a special sentimental attachment for du Pont stocks, which now constitute
18 per cent of the total value of the University's common stocks, that, in the absence of
special stipulations by a donor, all stocks shall be considered purely on the basis of their soundness
and value to the University as investment property, with due regard for diversification in accordance
with prudent investment policy.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE

Mrs. Smith read to the Board the following report:

The Buildings and Grounds committee met last night and herewith offer the following
recommendations.

• 1. That the architectural plans designed by Frederick Nichols for six houses and the
  apartment house to be erected in the Piedmont area be approved. The plans have been
  carefully examined and are exhibited for your observation.

• 2. That in anticipation of the interior restoration of the Rotunda, a model be made
  according to the Jeffersonian design. Mr. Nichols stated that the complete set of plans
  for the Rotunda[1] and the National Capitol are the only public buildings in this country
  having documentary plans. He further added that the restoration of the interior of the
  Rotunda would produce one of the handsomest buildings in America

PIEDMONT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Mrs. Smith laid before the Board for inspection and discussion Professor Nichols' plans referred
to in the foregoing Report of her Committee.

On Mrs. Smith's motion, duly seconded, the Board resolved that the plans as exhibited for six
faculty houses and an apartment house at Piedmont be approved

On motion of Colonel Hartfield, duly seconded, the Board resolved that the President be authorized
to proceed with the Piedmont Housing Project as outlined and to expand it over the entire 14-acre
tract on the basis of the plans exhibited, the financing to be arranged at the discretion of the
President.

ROTUNDA RESTORATION

Mrs. Smith discussed the projected restoration of the Rotunda to its original Jeffersonian plan
of three large oval rooms on the main floor with an upper dome room built to the scale of the
interior of the Pantheon at Rome. Mrs. Smith spoke of the long hope of finding funds for the
restoration, and reported a suggestion by President Darden that a model of the original interior be
constructed to show the original proportions.

The Board resolved that the President by authorized to have a model constructed showing the
original arrangement of the Rotunda rooms

TENNIS COURT CONSTRUCTION

At the Rector's request Mr. Talbott, Chairman of the Athletic Committee, laid before the
Board copies of a letter and enclosure of 3 October 1955 from Professor Mortimer M. Caplin, Chairman of the
Athletic Council, to President Darden reporting certain inquiries regarding tennis court construction
made by Mrs. Henry B. Mulholland and recommending the construction of six new tennis courts (at a
roughly estimated cost of $24,000), the improvement and better maintenance of the present courts, and
the designation of Mrs. Mulholland as a solicitor of funds for these purposes.

After considerable discussion the matter was referred back to the Athletic Committee, on
motion by Mr. Gravatt duly seconded, with the request that a formal motion be drafted for
consideration by the full Board, this draft to be favorable to construction and improved maintenance
of tennis courts, but to take cognizance of the following objections raised during the
discussion. 1) The Board cannot commit itself to new construction expenditures for which funds
are not available, 2) the University cannot be committed to special maintenance of tennis courts
beyond the share available in the budget for all maintenance, 3) Solicitation of funds for this
purpose must be under the President's direction so as to avoid conflict with the Alumni Fund and
University solicitation for other urgent needs, 4) Private donations for this purpose will be
welcomed, but neither Mrs. Mulholland nor any other private individual should be specifically
designated by the Board of Visitors to raise funds for this project.

FOOTBALL AND ATHLETIC CONTROL

Mr. Talbott laid before the Board an original and copies of a Report dated 10 December 1955
on recent discussions with the faculty and on recent developments and attitudes regarding athletic
policy and control. The Report was ordered to be filed.

At the Rector's request President Darden discussed a proposed meeting of college and
university presidents at Natural Bridge on December 19th in response to a suggestion by Senator
Willis Robertson. Mr. Talbott suggested that the President could not do better at the meeting
than to report just what our present policies actually are, and invite suggestions for improvement.

MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

BOARD TO MEET ON FEBRUARY 4th

The Board resolved that its next meeting, which would normally fall on the second Saturday
in February, be held on Saturday, February 4th at the President's Office

INVITATION TO MR. SIMPSON

Dr. Howard having reported to the Board, during a discussion of current developments at the
College, that Dr. Grellet C. Simpson would be in Charlottesville on the evening of Friday,
February 3rd to attend a meeting of the Visitors' Committee on Mary Washington College, it was
resolved by the Board that Dr. Simpson be invited to attend the meeting of the Board on February
4th.

DEATH OF MORGAN LAFAYETTE COMBS

President Darden announced to the Board the death on 25 October 1955 of Dr. Morgan Lafayette
Combs, who was President of Mary Washington College from 1929 until April 1955, and has been
since that date a staff member of the College on leave. There were expressions from the Board of
regret for Dr. Combs' death and for the long illness that preceded it, of appreciation for Dr.
Combs' devotion to the College and for his notable services in building up its strength during all
the years of its attachment to the University prior to his own ill health. The Secretary was
directed to record these expressions in the permanent minutes and to convey to Mrs. Combs the
sympathy of the Visitors

PAYMENTS TO MRS. COMBS

President Darden spoke of the heavy expenses borne by Mrs. Combs during the many months of
Dr. Combs' illness, and recommended approval of a request from her that the salary granted on
8 April 1955 to Dr. Combs from private funds of the University be paid to her

The Board resolved that the unpaid balance of the year's salary of $9,400 appropriated for
payment to Dr. Morgan L. Combs by the Board on 8 April 1955 from private funds of the University
be paid to Mrs. Combs.

ALUMNAE RESOLUTIONS

The Rector laid before the Board a copy of resolutions in memory of Morgan L. Combs adopted
by the Fredericksburg Chapter of the Alumnae Association.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY FEES REDUCED

President Darden presented a recommendation by the Dean of Medicine, concurred in by the
Dean of Mary Washington College and approved by the Comptroller of the University, that the
tuition fee for the course in Medical Technology be reduced from the present schedule of $210.00
to $100.00

Following a discussion of the matter the Board resolved accordingly that the tuition fee
for Medical Technology be reduced to $100.00 for all students

RELEASE OF RESTRICTIONS ON REICHEL PROPERTY

President Darden again brought to the attention of the Board the matter of release by The
Rector and Visitors of the residential restriction on property at the Southeast corner of William
Street and College Avenue in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He reminded the Board that it had considered
the matter at its meeting held on April 8, 1955. At that time the Board had before it a
letter from Mr. Swart, Recorder of the Vestry of Trinity Church, Fredericksburg, dated March 31,
1955, requesting release from the residential restriction on said property which the Vestry desired
to purchase as the site for the proposed new church, and letter from Mr. Edgar E. Woodward,
Bursar of Mary Washington College, dated April 2, 1955, recommending the requested waiver. The
Board adopted a resolution on April 8th, 1955, that the waiver be granted, subject to review by
the University's Attorney, provided that the release of restrictions should apply "to church
construction and to no other kind."

It now transpires, the President stated, that the property in question is being purchased
by The Trustees of the Diocesan Missionary Society of Virginia, a Virginia corporation, for the
purpose of erecting a church, student center for young ladies of Mary Washington College, a
parish house, and probably as the Diocesan Headquarters of the Episcopal Church. Under these
circumstances, it was thought by Counsel for The Trustees of the Diocesan Missionary Society that
the resolution of the Board adopted April 8, 1955, confining the release of restriction "to church
construction and to no other kind" was not broad enough to authorize the erection of a student
center, parish house and headquarters for the Diocesan Missionary Society. The President then
presented to the Board a letter from William K. Goolrick to Mr. C. Venable Minor, Special Counsel
for the University, dated October 29, 1955, requesting that the release of restrictions should
apply to "Church, Religious or Educational purposes and to no other kind." Mr. Darden also presented
to the Board a copy of the proposed deed from The Rector and Visitors to the Trustees of the
Diocesan Missionary Society of Virginia releasing the property in question from the residential

restrictions thereon insofar as it affects the use of said tract or parcel of land for Church,
Religious or Educational purposes and to no other kind

After discussion and careful consideration, upon motion duly seconded, it was,

RESOLVED that The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, as owner of certain property
in the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia, acquired from Frank H. Reichel and wife, by deed dated
August 30, 1946, of record in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Fredericksburg
in D.B. 82 p. 340, release from the residential restrictions applicable thereto, certain property at
the southeast corner of William Street and College Avenue in Fredericksburg, Virginia, sold by The
Fredericksburg Aquaduct Company, Incorporated to The Trustees of the Diocesan Missionary Society of
Virginia, insofar as it affects the use of the above described tract or parcel of land for Church,
Religious or Educational purposes and to no other kind,

RESOLVED FURTHER, that, Colgate W. Darden, Jr., President, be and he is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute such release in the form as presented to this meeting, in the name and on
behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, and that Francis L. Berkeley, Jr.,
Secretary, be and he is hereby authorized and empowered to affix the seal of the corporation to said
release and to attest the same

CHANGE OF TITLE OF ADMINISTRATOR

Mr. Coxe, Chairman of the special Committee on Change of Title of the Administrator of Mary
Washington College, read to the Board the following proposed addition to the resolution adopted at
the meeting of 10 June 1955 relative to the change of title of the chief administrative officer of
the College resident in Fredericksburg

BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER, That Section 23-76 of the Code of Virginia be amended and re-enacted
to read as follows (the changed wording being underlined):

On motion of Mr. Coxe, duly seconded, the Board resolved that the foregoing addition to the
resolution of 10 June 1955 be approved

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

On motion the meeting was then adjourned.
