Board of Visitors minutes :: April 12, 1958 :: University of Virginia Library

I take pleasure in quoting the resolution unanimously adopted at a
meeting of the University of Virginia Law School Foundation October 11,
1957, as follows

"Whereas it has been proposed that there be three chairs
for distinguished professors in the Law School and that the
regular salaries of the occupants of such chairs be
supplemented by grants from the Law School Foundation and
endowment funds available to the University,

Resolved that, if the Board of Visitors of the University
shall provide for annual grants from University endowment
funds of $2,000 each to the occupants of three chairs for
distinguished professors in the Law School, until further
action of this Committee the Law School Foundation will make
annual grants of the same amount to the occupants of such
chairs payable at the same time and in the same manner as the
grants provided by the Board of Visitors."

Sincerely yours,

/s/ William H. While, Jr.
Executive Secretary
Law School Foundation
