SCIENCE BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT

The Chancellor reported on conferences by the science faculties and architects which
indicated that the $725,000 appropriated by the General Assembly for the new science building
would be barely enough to cover construction of the building, and quite inadequate for its
equipment. He requested authorization to use Operating Fund surplus for equipping the building.

The Board adopted after discussion the following resolution.

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that Mary Washington College be and it is hereby authorized, subject to approval of the
Governor, to purchase equipment for the new science building from the operating funds of the
College, thus permitting the entire appropriation for the new science building to be used for
building construction.
