SIGNING OF DEFENSE CONTRACTS
President Shannon asserted that the requirements of the U. S. Department of Defense required
action of the Board in designating by name the President and the Comptroller as the only two officers
of the University empowered to sign Department of Defense contracts. In view of his assumption of
office, the President stated that it was now necessary to pass a new resolution inserting his name in
place of the name of former President Colgate W. Darden, Jr.
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
President Edgar Finley Shannon, Jr. and Comptroller Vincent Shea be and they are hereby specifically
designated as the only University officers having the authority and responsibility for the negotiation,
execution, and administration of Department of Defense contracts.
