he felt called for prior approval by the Executive Committee.

a contract with the National Damage Assessment Center is hereby approved.

CREATION OF OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY

The President stated concern had been felt as to the possibility of serious delays arising
in the execution of important documents due to illness or absence of the Secretary of the Board
and that steps should be taken to obviate such difficulty. However, inasmuch as the Secretary is
a statutory officer, some doubt had arisen as to the power of the Board to create the office of
Assistant Secretary to the Board. This doubt had been resolved by the opinion of Attorney General
Harrison as expressed in a letter to the President which reads as follows

The President then recommended the creation of the Office of Assistant Secretary to the
Board

After discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
that the office of Assistant Secretary to the Board of Visitors be and it is hereby created, to
be filled by appointment by the Board for such term as the Board may designate. The Assistant

Board of Visitors, University of Virginia, No. 11, 12 September 1947, p. 5) and that portions of the
Manual are now out of date. In certain instances in which the University enters into contracts and
other agreements, the President reported that copies of this Manual have to be submitted and the results
are sometimes misleading.

The President proposed, pending the revision of the Manual, that the resolution adopting a Manual
be rescinded.

terms of the contract, which had been prepared by the Counsel for the University, Mr. C. Venable Minor,
but that the contract could not become effective until the Board had given its approval. The President
asked for authorization to sign the contract as outlined in the memorandum of 7 July 1960.

The following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the Comptroller be and he is hereby authorized, on behalf of The Rector and Visitors, to execute a contract
for the operation of the University Airport embodying the provisions of the memorandum subscribed
to by the President on 7 July 1960, subject to the approval of the Attorney for the University.

The President reported on the retirment from the Board of Mr. Davis Y. Paschall as a result of
his resignation as State Superintendent of Public Instruction, effective 15 August 1960, to accept

MR. W. ALLAN PERKINS

The President reported that Mr. W. Allan Perkins, who served as Attorney for the University from

the President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
in the death of William Allan Perkins on 26 July 1960 the University and the community have suffered
a deep and permanent loss.

Born in Charlottesville on 6 July 1880, Mr. Perkins was the son and grandson of distinguished
lawyers who had successively served at the Albemarle County Bar since the founding of the University.
A graduate of the University's law class of 1902, he practiced actively for fifty-seven years. Throughout
that period he gave outstanding leadership to his professional associations, to the educational,
religious, and civic activities of the community; and to some of the most constructive work of the
University of Virginia Alumni Association.

As Attorney to this Board from 1915 to 1952, Allan Perkins served the University with singular
devotion and generosity. More than once during these thirty-seven years the Board has spread upon
its minutes resolutions of appreciation, for work beyond the call of duty, voting him increases in
legal fees that he had modestly set too low, or thanks for fees that he had returned to aid some
needy University purpose. We have valued his wise counsel and his warm friendship. We shall hold
him in grateful memory.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that copies of this resolution be sent to the members of Mr. Perkins' family.

eating facilities at Newcomb Hall. To meet this growing need, the Comptroller presented to the
Committee a tentative plan for the construction of two wings on the west side of Newcomb Hall consisting
of two floors, one of which would be below ground. The President requested and the Buildings
and Grounds Committee approved the proposal tentatively and authorized the President and the
Comptroller to proceed to prepare detailed plans for later presentation to the Committee and

which are fully worthy of financial support from this source, have had to be denied funds.
Recently, the President stated that the Student Activities Committee and the Student Council had

$7 per session

that the Student Activities Fee be and it is hereby increased from $5 to $7 per session, effective

BEQUEST OF KATHARINE A. MCINTIRE DECLINED

in the Clerk's Office of the Corporation Court of Charlottesville, in W. B. 8, p. 388, Miss McIntire
bequeathed to "the Bayly Museum at the University of Virginia, a sofa, pier tables, card table and
a group of miniatures." On the Will appeared a notation, dated July 9, 1958, signed by Miss
McIntire, to the effect that the miniatures had already been disposed of. Shortly before her death
on June 14, 1960, at her request, a codicil to her Will was prepared also revoking the bequest of
furniture to the Museum. However, Miss McIntire died before she could execute this codicil

The question, the President pointed out, was whether the bequest should be accepted under the
circumstances.

After discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED, that the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
being desirous of complying with the known wishes of the late Miss Katharine A. McIntire, respectfully

1961. The President stated that the Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration
had recommended to him a tuition increase for out-of-state students in his School of $100 instead
of $45. The Dean reported that this increase would still make the tuition charge for his School
below that of the graduate schools of business with which the University is in competition.

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that,
effective 1 September 1961, the tuition charge for out-of-state students in the Graduate School of

Higher Education had requested at this meeting that the President arrange for the appearance of one
of its representatives at a subsequent meeting of the Board. President Shannon recommended that this

approved a proposal which would authorize the Comptroller to advance from current fund surplus not
to exceed $500,000 at 4½ per cent interest for 20 years to be amortized from payments from the
revenues of Newcomb Hall. The Newcomb Hall addition is to be devoted to the expansion of eating
facilities and the President recalled to the attention of the Board its approval earlier in the
meeting of the proposal for preparing plans for this project.

The President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the Comptroller be and he is hereby authorized to advance not to exceed $500,000 from current
fund surplus for the purpose of constructing an addition to Newcomb Hall, the loan to be amortized
within 20 years at 4½ per cent interest

RETIREMENT

The Chancellor announced the retirement of Mr. Oscar Haddon Darter, Professor of History and
Chairman of the Department of History, effective 1 October 1960, after 35 years of service to
the College

The Visitors expressed their high regard for Mr. Darter and their gratitude for the devoted
services of this gentleman to Mary Washington College, and directed the Secretary to record in
the permanent minutes of the Board and to convey to Mr. Darter the Visitors' good wishes for many
years of happiness in his retirement

CHARGE-OFF OF OLD STUDENT LOAN

The Chancellor reported that in April 1958 he had submitted to the Board a list of loans from
the State Student Loan Fund which were uncollectible and had received authority from the Board to
charge-off these loans. One loan, he reported, through oversight was not included in the list.
The Auditor of Public Accounts in his annual examination of the College's records had suggested
that the loan should be charged off. The Chancellor stated that the date of the note was 9 April
1935 in the original amount of $33.34. The unpaid principal of the note at this time amounts to
$13.23. The note was signed by Ann Crute who resided at the time of the loan in Baskerville,
Virginia. Since repeated efforts have been made to collect this loan without success, the Chancellor
recommended that the note be charged off as uncollectible in accordance with the terms prescribed
in the State Appropriation Act

The following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia be and is hereby authorized, subject to the
written approval of the Governor, to charge-off as uncollectible a note from the State Student Loan
Fund signed by Ann Crute, dated 9 April 1935, with a principal balance of $13.23.

BELMONT PROPERTY

The Chancellor reported that he had received a letter from Mr. C. Venable Minor, Counsel for
the University, enclosing a copy of the final decree entered by the Circuit Court of the City of
Richmond on 29 July 1960 approving the transfer of the title to Gari Melchers Memorial from the
Board of Trustees of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to The Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia on behalf of Mary Washington College. The State Comptroller has set up, the Chancellor
continued, the necessary accounting codes at Mary Washington College for the Belmont Property and
has proposed that the effective date of the transfer of the funds be 1 October 1960. The decree of
the Circuit Court providing for the transfer of operating funds would authorize the transfer of
the title of all of the assets of the Gari Melchers Memorial to The Rector and Visitors for operation
by Mary Washington College

The Chancellor asked for authorization to request the Auditor of Public Accounts to make a
turn-over audit of these accounts as of the date of the transfer on 1 October 1960.

The following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the Chancellor of Mary Washington College be and he is hereby authorized to request the Auditor of Public
Accounts to make a turn-over audit of the accounts of the Gari Melchers Memorial as of the effective
date of the transfer of funds on 1 October 1960.

NATURAL GAS CONTRACT

The Chancellor reported that the Rector had approved on 13 June 1960 an agreement between Mary
Washington College and the Natural Gas Service Company subject to the following conditions (1)
that the cost of the installation of the natural gas equipment to the College would not exceed
$6,000, (2) that the Natural Gas Service Company would meet the requirements of the State Corporation
Commission with respect to additional working capital for the Company, and (3) that the Natural Gas
Service Company would supply the College with a comprehensive set of plans and specifications,
acceptable to the College, for the installation of the natural gas equipment. The State Corporation
Commission has issued an order approving the proposed plan of providing additional working capital
for the Company and a copy of this order has been sent to the Rector.

On 26 September 1960, in a conference with the engineers from the Engineering Division of the
Division of the Budget and a representative of the Natural Gas Service Company, a proposed set of
plans and specifications was discussed and approved by the State engineers. The Chancellor concluded
his report by noting that the State engineers had proposed that bids be received the latter
part of October for the installation of the natural gas equipment.

ANONYMOUS GIFT FOR BIOLOGY SCHOLARSHIPS

The Chancellor reported that during the preceding week he had received an anonymous gift of 200
shares of du Pont stock valued at approximately $36,000 to $37,000. The donor specified that the
funds be used for scholarships at Mary Washington College for students in Biology or for a student
graduating from Mary Washington College who desired to go elsewhere for graduate work in Biology.
Under the terms specified by the donor, the amount of the principal would have to be expended within
20 years.

After numerous statements of gratification, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the anonymous gift to Mary Washington College for scholarships in the field of Biology be and it is
hereby accepted with deep appreciation and that such funds be expended in accordance with the wishes
of the donor. The Secretary is hereby instructed to send a copy of this resolution to the donor.
