NORTH APPROACH TO THE ROTUNDA

The President reported that, following the approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
of the proposed plans for the North approach to the Rotunda, he had obtained an estimate as to
the cost. The estimate was $9,700, which he thought was much too high. He did not feel, in view
of other needs, that this amount of money should be spent by the University. He stated, however,
that it might be possible to obtain the money from private sources and asked for authority to
proceed in the event that his search was a successful one

The Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the President be and he is hereby authorized to proceed with the construction of the North
approach to the Rotunda according to the plans heretofore approved by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee, provided the funds required can be obtained from non-University sources
