MADISON HALL LEASE

The President announced that further negotiations had been had with the YMCA Board of
Trustees concerning the arrangement of a long-term lease of Madison Hall by the University. A
long-term lease was desired, the President stated, because of the necessity of making a rather
extensive renovation of Madison Hall in order to convert the facilities for efficient University
use. A proposal had been made by the YMCA Board of Trustees that a fifty-year lease be
negotiated with an annual rental payment of $7,000. Included in the proposal was an arrangement
whereby the annual rental of $7,000 would be adjusted at five-year intervals on the basis of
the cost-of-living index prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Considerable discussion ensued among the Visitors as to the need for an upper and lower
limit to be included in the lease. At the conclusion of this discussion, the following resolution
was adopted

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 continue to negotiate for a long-term lease
of Madison Hall by the University and that any agreement which may be reached be subject to the
approval of the Executive Committee if that approval be needed before the October meeting of the
Board.

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

NAME OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA BRANCH COLLEGE

Virginia." Mr. Fenwick pointed out that a name which had been used locally was "University
College of the University of Virginia." After discussion, it was decided to defer a decision
on this matter until the meeting of the Board in October.

CLINICAL SALARY PLAN FOR SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

The President presented a revised plan for the remuneration of the clinical staff in the
School of Medicine. The plan, which consisted of an amendment to the present plan, was summarized
by the Dean of the School of Medicine in his letter to the President of 4 June 1959 and by the
Comptroller in his letter to the President of 11 June 1959

The proposed amendment consisted briefly of the following (1) no change would be made in
the present salaries and limits on earnings with the exception of instructors, (2) the University
would continue its five per cent contribution of the base salary to TIAA, (3) the individual
doctor would continue to contribute to TIAA five per cent of his salary and earnings, up to a
maximum of five per cent of $12,500, (4) an increase in the contribution of the clinical department
would be made so that this amount combined with the University's contribution would equal
20 per cent of the doctor's salary up to a maximum salary of $12,500, (5) the present plan for
distributing surplus would remain the same except that the chairmen of major clinical departments
would be allowed to participate in surplus distribution, as well as other members of the faculty,
(6) since instructors are not eligible for TIAA, these faculty members would receive during the
coming year an increase in income of $1,500 instead of the usual increase of $750, and (7) the
plan would become effective as of 1 July 1958

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 the amendments to the current salary plan of the clinical staff of the School of Medicine
