RESOLUTIONS HONORING PRESIDENT DARDEN

The Rector spoke of the pleasure given to him and to the other members of
the Board in receiving during recent weeks a series of heart-warming resolutions
from the University's faculties honoring Mr. Darden upon his tenth anniversary as
President, praising his policies and accomplishments, and urging him to postpone
his retirement as long as possible. In addition to the resolutions from the
several faculties, the Rector noted especially the resolution adopted by the
Assembly of Professors, an unofficial association that includes all of the
teachers in the University above the rank of instructor.

Upon motion of Mr. Gravatt, seconded by several members, the following
resolution was adopted

RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia has
received with pleasure and lively satisfaction the resolutions in honor of
President Darden upon his tenth anniversary adopted by the Assembly of Professors
and by the several Faculties, that the Visitors, heartily concurring in the
expressions of praise and of confidence contained in these resolutions, urge
President Darden to remain in office for as long as he may personally be disposed
to do so, that the texts of the Faculty resolutions be recorded in the minutes of
the Board, and that the Secretary be instructed to convey to the various faculties
the appreciation and concurrence of the Board
