President Darden presented a letter of 16 December 1955 from the University Comptroller
enclosing a letter of the preceding November 8th from Mr. Bernard P. Chamberlain of Charlottesville,
proposing: (1) that the University purchase for $25,000 his seven-acre tract of land adjacent to
Observatory Mountain connecting University land on the south with the American Red Cross tract on
the north, and (2) that if this purchase be declined, then that the University grant three additional
rights of way to this tract

The Board resolved after discussion that both of these proposals be declined
