ATTORNEY'S SPECIAL COMPENSATION

The President read a letter from Mr. C. Venable Minor, Special Counsel to the
Board, stating that he had devoted 444 hours of his time during 1957 to University
work, for which he had been remunerated only by his regular salary of $2400. If he
had charged the usual hourly rate of $25.00 allowed by his firm, Mr. Minor said, his
compensation would have been $11,100.00. He proposed payment of an additional fee
of $1,000.

The Board resolved that the Comptroller be authorized to pay a special fee of
$1,000 to Mr. Minor in addition to his regular salary of $2400 for legal work
performed during 1957.
