APPRAISAL OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON COLLEGE GROUNDS

The Chancellor stated that in 1958 a small plot of land in the middle of the College grounds,
which was owned by the Sunshine Laundry in Fredericksburg, was given to Mary Washington Hospital
during a hospital building fund campaign. The property is located on the immediate campus
between the College Dining Hall and the Fine Arts Center. At the request of the Mary Washington
College Committee, appraisals had been obtained on this property. The Chancellor recommended
that the College be authorized to enter into negotiations with Mary Washington Hospital looking
toward the purchase of this property

The following resolution was adopted by the Board

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that Mary Washington College be and it is hereby authorized to negotiate with Mary Washington
Hospital for the purchase of approximately one-fourth acre of land located within the College
campus between the Fine Arts Center and the Dining Hall, but more specifically described on a
map of Rowe's Hill, prepared by Cecil Reid, dated 22 October 1909, which map is a part of the
deed of conveyance from Maurice P. Rowe and wife to the State Normal and Industrial School for
Women at Fredericksburg, Virginia, recorded 29 October 1909. The best proposal obtainable
shall be submitted to a future meeting of the Board of Visitors for its decision
