COCKE PROPERTY

Mrs. Smith reported that the Buildings and Grounds Committee had received
from the President a letter from Mr. John Page Elliott proposing that the
University purchase the property adjacent to St. Paul's Church owned by the
Misses Betty and Louise Cocke, subject to a life tenancy by the owners.

After brief discussion the Board resolved that the Secretary request Mr.
Elliott to furnish additional information as to the owners' valuation and the
other proposed conditions of a sale.
