HIGHWAY BY-PASS

The President discussed the dangers to undergraduates and inconvenience to the University
caused by the present location of a major highway, Route 29 South, which passes through the
University Grounds along Emmett Street. The Board, approving the recommendations already made
by the President, in cooperation with local government authorities, to the State Highway Commission,
adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the Board joins with the Charlottesville and Albemarle Chamber of Commerce, the Albemarle
County Board of Supervisors, and the Charlottesville City Council in urging the Virginia Department
of Highways to provide the necessary funds in its allocation for the fiscal year 1961-1962
for the completion of that portion of the Charlottesville By-Pass connecting U. S. Route 250 West
and U. S. Route 29 South. It is vital to the University that the heavy through truck and passenger
traffic, which now bisects the University Grounds, separating the dormitories from the other University
buildings, be diverted to the By-Pass. Besides inconvenience and noise, there is grave
danger from this traffic to large numbers of students who have to cross it in going from their
rooms to classes and eating places. Additional University buildings, either under construction
or appropriated for, will add to the traffic in this already congested area, and increase the
danger

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Commissioner of Highways,
the Charlottesville and Albemarle Chamber of Commerce, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors,
and the Charlottesville City Council.

Mr. Camp expressed the hope that President Shannon could arrange to appear before the Highway
Commission to urge action on this matter.

MACE FROM THE SEVEN SOCIETY

Referring to the action taken by the Board on 8 October relative to the offer from The Seven
Society to present a mace to the University, President Shannon reported on an inquiry that he had
made into the academic uses of the mace, and reported that the Faculty's Committee on Public
Occasions has now recommended acceptance of the proposed gift. The Board accordingly adopted
the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the President be authorized to accept the generous offer of The Seven Society to present to
the University a mace to be used by the faculty on appropriate academic occasions and to be suitably
exhibited at other appropriate times at the discretion of the President, provided that the
design and specifications of the mace and its display case shall be subject to advance approval
by the President.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the thanks of the Board be conveyed to The Seven Society for this
fresh evidence of continuing interest in the University's welfare.

TIAA ANNUITY PLAN CHANGE

The Comptroller of the University, Mr. Shea, appeared before the Board at the President's
request and joined in a discussion of a proposed change in the TIAA program for faculty retirement
annuities. The change, as presented by the President and the Comptroller, will enable the
faculty to take advantage of the Technical Amendment Act of 1958, Public Law 85-866, and will
result in exempting from current federal income taxes the 5 per cent contribution which each
professor under TIAA is now required to make.

The Board adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the resolution concerning a Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association annuity plan adopted
by this Board on 22 February 1938 as amended on 10 June 1960 be further amended to delete the
following

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that beginning with the session of 1938-1939 it shall be compulsory for all administrative officers
of the University and all professors of every grade to pay respectively five per cent (5%) of their
salary as received to the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, until he reaches
his sixty-fifth birthday, each such payment to be matched by an amount to be paid by the University
equal to fifteen per cent (15%) of the salary in excess of $4,800. The salary shall not include
salaries received for summer teaching nor payments made in excess of the regular faculty salary
schedule for administrative duties

Nothing in this resolution shall be construed (1) to modify the actions taken by this Board
at its meetings on 14 June 1958 and 13 June 1959, or (2) to deprive any faculty member of the
rights available to him under the provisions of the Virginia Supplemental Retirement Act as set
forth in Article 3, Chapter 3.2, Title 51, of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended.

and substitute therefor the following

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, beginning 1 January 1961, all professors of every grade and all administrative officers shall
receive gross compensation as prescribed by the appropriate schedules, of which five per cent (5%)
will be contributed directly by the University to the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of
America and the balance paid to the individual. In addition, the University, from its endowment
funds, will contribute for each such individual, an amount equal to fifteen per cent (15%) of the
gross compensation in excess of $4,800. The gross compensation shall not include compensation
received for summer teaching or payments made for administrative duties in excess of the regular
schedules

Nothing in this resolution shall be construed (1) to modify the actions taken by this Board
at its meetings on 14 June 1958 and 13 June 1959 except for the Clinical Medical Faculty which is
included under the provisions as set forth above, or (2) to deprive any faculty member of the rights
available to him under the provisions of the Virginia Supplemental Retirement Act as set forth in
Article 3, Chapter 3.2, Title 51, of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended

BRANCH BANK IN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

President Shannon and Mr. Shea, Comptroller, discussed the need for a branch bank in the
University Hospital, and reported the preliminary inquiries that have been made toward obtaining one.

The following resolution, proposed by the President and moved by Dr. Martin, who accepted as
an amendment the final paragraph proposed by the seconder, Colonel Hartfield, was thereupon
adopted

WHEREAS, the hospital is desirous of being authorized to set aside 240 sq. ft. for a small
branch bank, two of the local banks having indicated an interest in operating such a branch which
would be a great convenience to the Medical Center, and

WHEREAS, there is a precedent for this in the State as a branch of one of the Richmond banks
is located in the Medical College of Virginia Hospital,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia that the University be authorized to enter into an agreement with a local
bank for the establishment of a branch in the Medical Center.

RESOLVED FURTHER that this resolution shall not take effect until the University's Special
Counsel shall have found, upon investigation, that the establishment of a branch bank in a University
building is in accord with Virginia law.

AUNSPAUGH PROPERTY SALE

The President reminded the Visitors of their decision at the Annual Meeting last June to
sell the property in Dallas, Texas, bequeathed by the late Vivian Louise Aunspaugh. He reported
that the several attorneys representing the University in this matter now wish the Board to repeat
the previous resolution and to elaborate it so that the names of the present proposed purchasers
shall appear in the minutes of the Board. The following resolution was accordingly adopted

WHEREAS, at its regular meeting held on 10 June 1960, the Board of Visitors of The Rector
and Visitors of the University of Virginia adopted the following resolution

RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the Finance Committee be and it is hereby authorized to dispose of the property located in
Dallas, Texas, bequeathed to the University of Virginia by Miss Vivian Louise Aunspaugh, and that
the Comptroller of the University be and he is hereby authorized to pay inheritance taxes levied
against the bequest by the State of Texas, and,

WHEREAS, an offer was received from Messrs. A. Weinberger, Ervin Weinberger, and A. J. Jackson
to purchase said property at the price of $35,000 cash, which offer was accepted on behalf of The
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia by President Shannon on 4 November 1960, and a
written contract for such sale entered into, and

WHEREAS, it is now desired to ratify and confirm the actions of President Shannon in this
respect and to authorize the execution of a deed of conveyance to said property,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia that the actions of President Edgar F. Shannon, Jr., in accepting the offer
of A. Weinberger, Ervin Weinberger, and A. J. Jackson, of $35,000 cash, and executing a contract
of sale with them at that price, of the real property devised to The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia under the Will of Vivian Louise Aunspaugh, consisting of Lots Nos. 1, 2,
3, and 4 of Block 507, Seay's Subdivision of the City of Dallas, Texas, be and the same are hereby
confirmed, ratified, and approved.

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that said Edgar F. Shannon, Jr., President as aforesaid, be and he is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute, in the name and on behalf of The Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, deed with Special Warranty of Title conveying said property to
said A. Weinberger, Ervin Weinberger, and A. J. Jackson, or such person, firm or corporation they
may in writing designate, and that Weldon Cooper, Secretary, be and he is hereby authorized and
empowered to affix the corporate seal to said deed and to attest the same, said deed to be in
form approved by the special counsel of the University of Virginia,

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the officers of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
be and they are hereby authorized and empowered to execute such other documents or papers, and
to take such further steps and do such other things as may be needful or advisable to complete
the sale and conveyance of said property.

EXECUTION OF DEEDS FOR REAL ESTATE

The President stated that on several occasions in the past the question had come up as to his
general authority to execute instruments dealing with real estate or interests in real estate on
behalf of The Rector and Visitors, and he believed a resolution granting general authority to him
and to the Comptroller would be advantageous.

After discussion, upon motion duly made and seconded, it was

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the President and Comptroller be and they each are hereby authorized and empowered to execute
deeds, contracts, options, and other instruments and documents dealing with real estate and interests
in real estate, in the name and on behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia, and that the Secretary and Assistant Secretary be and they each are authorized and empowered
to affix the corporate seal thereto and to attest the same.

APPEAL FROM  HONOR COMMITTEE  DECISION

The President commented upon a statement directed to the Board by a former student appealing
from dismissal by his fellow students on an honor charge. The President stated that receipt of the
statement had been reported to the Rector, and that it had then been filed without action in
accordance with the traditional practice of the Board and the University's administrators since
1842

ATHLETIC MATTERS

The President reviewed developments in athletic matters since the October meeting and he
and Mr. Fenwick, Chairman of the Athletics Committee, reported briefly on the Athletics Committee's
meetings of 11 November and 9 December, the 18 November joint meeting with the Finance Committee,
and the three statements issued to the press. The assurance that President Shannon had given to
Mr. Voris, that he could continue as head coach of football for another year, in accordance with
his contract, had been well received, Mr. Fenwick noted, by alumni, press, and public.

On 9 December, Mr. Shannon reported, Mr. Voris had called at the President's Office and
expressed a wish to resign, provided that he be paid his salary for the final year of his contract.
Mr. Voris had appeared before the Athletics Committee on the evening of 9 December and
repeated his proposal, asserting that it was a voluntary action on his part, not suggested by
any official of the University.

Mr. Shannon pointed out that Mr. Voris' proposal necessitated Board action, despite the
President's authority over coaching appointments, because the President cannot expend University
funds for services not rendered. After a general discussion, the Board adopted the following
resolution:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the resignation of Coach Voris, conditioned upon the University's paying his salary for the
remainder of his contract, be accepted;

RESOLVED FURTHER that the payment be made from funds received from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Mr. Fenwick, Mr. Camp, and others complimented the President upon his handling of this matter
and upon his thorough study of athletic policy and practices over the past thirty years.

President Shannon said that he planned to appoint a special committee to assist him in the
selection of both a new Director of Athletics and a new Head Coach of Football.

Both the Rector and the President commented on Faculty attitudes regarding the Conference and
the coaching matter. The consensus appeared to be that membership in the Atlantic Coast Conference
should be given a further trial, and so continued for the present.

ANONYMOUS GIFT FOR PUBLICATION OF THE MADISON PAPERS

The President called particular attention to the anonymous gift of 400 du Pont shares valued
at $73,800 for the publication of the Madison Papers or, if not needed for this purpose, then to
be used for the benefit of the University at the discretion of the President. The Visitors joined
in comments praising this gift, and adopted unanimously the following resolution:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the anonymous gift of 400 shares of du Pont stock valued at $73,800 for the publication of
the Madison Papers, or if not needed for that purpose then for other uses for the benefit of the
University at the President's discretion, be and it is hereby accepted with deep appreciation; that
such funds be expended in accordance with the wishes of the Donor; and that the Secretary is hereby
instructed to convey this resolution to the Donor.

MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

GARI MELCHERS MEMORIAL

Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of the College, substituting at this meeting for Chancellor
Simpson, joined President Shannon in reporting on the transfer of the Gari Melchers Memorial
property to the University for use by the College.

The attorneys for the University and for the Virginia Museum, it was noted, have reached
agreement as to the conveyance of the real estate, and the deed will be recorded shortly in
Stafford County, arrangements are being made with Mr. Robert Marsh of the Museum Board for the
transfer to the University of some $115,000 in assets of the endowment fund.

DORMITORY BONDS

The President and Mr. Woodward reminded the Visitors that the time has now come to issue
$500,000 in bonds on the two new College dormitories, occupied respectively in 1959 and 1960,
in order to reimburse the Treasurer of Virginia for the construction loans.

President Shannon said that unless he heard objections from members of the Board he would
authorize the officers of the College to proceed with the employment of the New York law firm
of Messrs. Mitchell, Pershing, Shetterly, and Mitchell, as bonding attorneys, and that the issue
would probably be offered, after consultation with the State Treasurer, in the spring of 1961.
Colonel Hartfield praised the choice of attorneys, and there was general concurrence in the plan
as presented.

PORTRAIT OF MORGAN L. COMBS

The President requested permission to accept from a group of anonymous donors a portrait
of the late Dr. Morgan L. Combs, former President of the College, painted by Mr. David Silvette
of Richmond. The plan, Mr. Shannon stated, is to hang the portrait in the science building named
for Dr. Combs, and this will be subject to future approval by the Virginia Art Commission after
the Board has acted. The Board thereupon adopted, subject to the reservation noted, the following
resolution

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the portrait of Dr. Morgan L. Combs, former President of Mary Washington College, donated
to the College, be and it is hereby accepted

CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE MATTERS

GREEAR MEMORIAL AT CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE

President Shannon reported to the Visitors, recommending approval, a request from the Faculty
of Clinch Valley College for authority to name the new auditorium - gymnasium building as a
memorial to the late Fred Bonham Greear. The Board, concurring in the appropriateness of the
proposed tribute to Mr. Greear's generous service to the College and to the entire University,
resolved unanimously that the request be approved.
