LAND LEASE-EXCHANGE WITH EQUITABLE REALTY CORPORATION

The attention of the Board was called to the resolution adopted at the meeting
of April 27, 1957, in which the proposed exchange was approved subject to final
approval of the documents to be drawn and presented to a future meeting

The President stated he had received from Mr. Minor a letter dated September
10, 1957, approving the form of the Deed to The Rector and Visitors from Equitable
Realty Corporation and the form of the Contract of Lease from The Rector and
Visitors to Equitable.

Copies of the Deed and Contract of Lease were presented to the meeting. The
President further stated he had been informed that the Deed to The Rector and
Visitors had been executed by all the parties and was ready for delivery, and that
the only things remaining to be done were the adoption of a resolution finally
approving the transaction and the execution of the Contract of Lease on behalf of
The Rector and Visitors.

After consideration of the copies of the Deed and Contract of Lease in the
form submitted, upon motion, duly seconded and carried, it was

POLICE APPOINTMENTS

The President then brought to the attention of the Board the matter of the
University Police. He reminded the Board that several years ago it appeared
necessary and advisable for the University to establish its own police force to
protect the buildings and grounds of the University and to keep order. Such a
force was established, and its members were appointed by the Circuit Court of
Albemarle County under the provisions of Sections 15-562-64, 15-569-70 of the Code
of Virginia, 1950. However, these code sections required that the persons
appointed must be qualified voters and actual residents of Albemarle County.

The President reported that while the procedure above outlined had been fairly
satisfactory, he had found increasing difficulty in obtaining qualified men who
were residents of Albemarle County. In addition some question had been raised as
to the power of the University police to act inside the City limits of
Charlottesville. Unfortunately the power of appointment of such special police,
under the statutes above referred to, is confined to the Circuit Court and no such
power of appointment existed for the Corporation Court of a City.

The President reported the matter had been referred to Mr. Minor, the
University's special counsel, who had advised that, under the provisions of Section
18-17 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as recently amended, and under Section 18-19
thereof, both the Circuit and Corporation Courts, upon application by the Board of
Visitors, were empowered to appoint conservators of the peace and police to police
the grounds of the University of Virginia, who need not be qualified voters and
whose residence could be anywhere in the Commonwealth. A plan had been worked out
with the Judges of both courts whereby identical orders would be entered appointing

the same persons so that the persons so appointed would have jurisdiction in both
the City and County. The President explained, however, that in the opinion of the
University's special counsel, the Board should adopt a resolution authorizing him,
as such counsel, to apply on behalf of the Board to both Courts for the appointment
of the persons to act as conservators of the peace and police

A draft of the Court orders above referred to as prepared by Mr. Minor were
submitted to the meeting

After discussion, upon motion, duly seconded and adopted, it was

BABCOCK & WILCOX GIFT TO NUCLEAR REACTOR

The President announced that The Babcock & Wilcox Company, a New Jersey
corporation, with principal offices in New York City, had made a gift to the
University of certain drawings, designs, specifications and other technical data
pertaining to the construction and operation by the University of its proposed
swimming pool type nuclear energy research reactor, the gift having a reasonable
market value of $150,000.00. In connection with the gift The Babcock & Wilcox
Company had requested that a contract be entered into between that company and The
Rector and Visitors, under the main provisions of which the University would

(a) Agree to supply to the donor a statement of costs in connection with the
construction, erection etc., of, and materials for, the reactor,

(b) To make available to the donor data with respect to tests, experiments
and research work conducted in the reactor,

(c) Protect the donor from claims for patent infringements, arising in
connection with any equipment manufactured or produced for or by the University in
accordance with or by reference to designs, drawings specifications or other
technical data furnished under the contract,

(d) (1) Use its best efforts to provide the inclusion of the donor as
insured under any policies of insurance taken out covering personal injury and

NORTHERN VIRGINIA COLLEGE SITE

President Darden presented to the Board copies of letters dated 23 September
1957 and 3 October 1957 from Mr. Henry H. Glassie, of Messrs. Weaver and Glassie,
attorneys for A. Smith Bowman and Sons, Inc., and Messrs. A. Smith Bowman, Jr., and
E. DeLong Bowman, renewing and extending the offer made on 14 May 1957 of a
permanent site at Sunset Hills, near Herndon, Virginia, for the University's
Northern Virginia College. The revised offer, Mr. Darden noted, was made at the
same time to the University and to the Board of Control for the Establishment of a
University in Northern Virginia, and includes the construction of a small lake on
the property and of a sewage disposal plant that has been approved by the Virginia
Department of Health and the State Water Control Board.

There was a discussion of the proposed permanent college in Northern Virginia
as a part of the University. Members noted that there appeared to be little
prospect of adequate development of a college in that area without a permanent site.
It was pointed out that a basic need, once a permanent site has been acquired, will
be capital outlay appropriations for construction of essential buildings, that
State appropriations for the 1958-1960 biennium are already under study, and will
be made by the Governor and General Assembly during the next three months, hence
that further delay in the choice of a site will jeopardize the possibility of
action by the University to develop a permanent new college in Northern Virginia as
a branch of the University.

The Secretary was directed to communicate with the Board of Control for the
Establishment of a University in Northern Virginia, and to inquire as to progress
made regarding possible sites, and to invite the views of the Board of Control as
to appropriate action that the University might take at this time toward attainment
of the common objective of the two boards.

ATHLETICS RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

Mr. Berkeley, as Chairman of the Athletics Committee, laid before the Board
copies of "Intercollegiate Athletics Report of Receipts and Disbursements for the
Period July 1, 1956 to June 30, 1957". Summarizing the contents of the Report,
Mr. Berkeley invited inspection by the several Visitors and requested the Secretary
to submit it in triplicate to the Director of the Budget and to hold one copy in
the files of the Board.

ARMY FOOTBALL GAME

The Rector and the President commented briefly on the agitation regarding
seating at football games, and the Rector read to the Board the Provost's telegram
on the subject to the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.

PIEDMONT FACULTY RESIDENCE BIDS

President Darden discussed the progress of plans for construction of the final
group of seven faculty houses at "Piedmont" for rental to lower ranking members of
University faculties. The President endorsed the Comptroller's recommendation that
the contract be awarded to the firm of R. E. Lee & Son, whose low bid of $115,152
was only slightly higher than Mr. O'Grince's estimate, and substantially lower than
the other bids, which had ranged from $122,939 to $132,000.

The Board resolved that the President be authorized to proceed to contract
with R. E. Lee & Son for this construction.

PROPOSED PROGRAM
IN
ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY

The School of Architecture and the Corcoran Department of History of
the College of Arts and Sciences propose to offer a program leading to a
degree of Bachelor of Architectural History in the School of Architecture
and administered jointly by the Corcoran Department of History and the
School of Architecture. This would provide one of the first such degrees
to be offered in this country. With the facilities of the School of
Architecture, the Corcoran Department of History, and the University
Library, training in the History of Architecture may be pursued with the
advantage to the student of obtaining a thorough grounding in the
principles of architecture, in historical methods, and in scholarly
research. With the architectural training which the School of
Architecture affords, the prospective Architectural History student will
have the necessary background to sustain his critical judgments and
amplify his historical research

The location of the University of Virginia is peculilarly fortunate
in not only having a wealth of existing architectural monuments, but also
in being within close proximity to such research centers as the Library
of Congress and Williamsburg

The degree of Bachelor of Architectural History will be conferred
upon successful candidates who have received the recommendation of the
faculties of the Corcoran Department of History and the School of
Architecture, and who have successfully completed the requirements of the
program.

Proposed Curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Architectural History
in the School of Architecture and Administered jointly with the Corcoran
Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences.

COLLEGE BOARD TESTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS

President Darden laid before the Board copies of a mimeographed "Digest of
Information About the Proposed use of the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test at
the University of Virginia", together with letters from Deans Duren, Cherry, and
Fitz Patrick, from Mr. Bryant, Director of Student Aid and Placement; and from Mr.
Raymond C. Bice, Director of Admissions for the College, recommending that the
Scholastic Aptitude Test given by the College Entrance Examination Board (which is
already an admissions requirement for non-Virginians) be used as a requirement for
admission of all students to the undergraduate schools of the University at
Charlottesville

During the discussion that followed, it was explained that the testing service
at Princeton (of which the University is a member institution) has already set up
testing centers at fifteen communities throughout Virginia, that Mr. Bice's
planning for the administration of the tests provides for financial and other
assistance for those students for whom the $7.00 testing fee or extended travel
would cause hardship, and that the relative score made on the tests would be only
one of several criteria for admission. The Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia that all
students hereafter applying for admission to the undergraduate schools of the
University at Charlottesville shall be required to undergo the Scholastic Aptitude
Test given by the College Entrance Examination Board as one of the conditions for
admission.

ADMISSION OF SONS OF ALUMNI

The President commented on reports of Alumni discontent at the difficulty of
getting their sons admitted to the University. Mr. Darden spoke of the
University's desire to receive the sons of Alumni, and he quoted figures from a
study of the matter made by Professor Bice to show that Alumni may reasonably
expect the benefit of any doubt in all questions regarding admission of their sons.

Mr. Gravatt requested a copy of Mr. Bice's letter, and it was accordingly
ordered that the Secretary furnish a copy to each Visitor.
