The Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. McWane, submitted for the Board's consideration the
proposed 1961-1962 University Budget, copies of which had previously been mailed to each member of the
Board. Mr. McWane reported that the Finance Committee had met with the President and the Comptroller
on 12 May 1961 for a detailed review of the proposed Budget and that the Finance Committee, at the
conclusion of its meeting, had unanimously approved the Budget as recommended. Accordingly, Mr.
McWane 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 proposed 1961-1962 University Budget as recommended by the President and as approved by
the Finance Committee be and it is hereby approved.
REPORT ON LONG-RANGE PLANNING
The President presented to each member of the Board a copy of his progress report on the long-range
plans for the University. He summarized the contents of his progress report which dealt with
the mission of the University, faculty, financial support, the University of Virginia Press, and
capital outlay requests for the forthcoming six-year period. He explained that he had prepared the
progress report to bring the Board up to date on the progress that had been made by the University
Long-Range Planning Committee and that his progress report had been based upon information he had
received from the Committee. He explained that a further report would be made, on the basis of which
he hoped the Board could take action in setting forth the goals which the University should look
forward to achieving in the next 15 years.
In concluding his remarks, the President stated that he had established two priority items for
the forthcoming year of 1961-1962. One of these was the concentration of his efforts on building
the faculty and particularly increasing the emphasis on graduate work in arts and sciences at the
University. He also pointed out that the forthcoming year was a biennial budget year and that a
large amount of his time would have to be spent on budget preparation and appearances before the
General Assembly next January and February. In order to do this it would be necessary, he informed
the Board, to reduce his outside activities including appearances before alumni chapters and other
groups. He stressed his belief that in electing him the Board had expected him to develop the
academic strength of the University and that since he assumed office in August 1959, a major portion
of his time had had to be spent on other matters. He hoped to bring his work back into balance in the
forthcoming year.
ELECTION OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY
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
Mr. William M. Griffin be and he is hereby elected Assistant Secretary of the Board of Visitors for
the period 1 August 1961 to 31 July 1962, to serve during the leave of absence of Mr. Francis L.
Berkeley, Jr.
APPLICATION FEES FOR ADMISSIONS
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,
effective 1 September 1961, each person applying for admission to a degree program in any college or
school of the University shall pay an application fee of $10 which shall be non-refundable, provided,
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences shall be set by the President.
REPORT ON ADMISSIONS
The President presented a detailed report on the requests for admissions to the College and
the several schools of the University. He noted that there had been a sharp increase in applications
for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences and commented in detail on the implications of this increase.
UNCOLLECTIBLE HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS

REPORT ON COMMUNITY COLLEGES
The President reported on his conversations with the committee formed in the Covington-Clifton
Forge area looking to the establishment of a community college in that area to be
affiliated with the University of Virginia. He stated that the committee had done an excellent
piece of work and there was every indication of strong support in the area for a community college.
He pointed out, however, that population studies had shown a rather stablized population growth
and that there was a serious question as to whether the proposed college would be able to attract
enough students to make the venture economically feasible and worthwhile in terms of taking care
of the expected increase in applications for college admission by Virginia students. He stated
his intention to continue the negotiations and to report further to the Board as developments
warranted.
The President stated further that he would confer with a committee from the Lynchburg area
which likewise was interested in establishing a community college to be affiliated with the
University of Virginia.
LATE REGISTRATION FEE
The President reported on the administrative arrangements he had made for certain students
who would be unable to be present, for personal reasons, on the day assigned for registration in
September 1961. While these students would still be liable for the non-remittable portion ($5.00)
of the late registration fee of $15.00 as required by the Board resolution of 11 December 1953,
the President stated that he had been able to make arrangements by which the students involved
would not suffer a penalty in terms of choice of courses and sections because of late registration.
PROPOSAL BY LAWRENCE LEWIS, JR.
The President reported that he had been in consultation with Mr. Lewis in connection with
the proposals made by Mr. Lewis at the meeting of the Board on 8 April 1961 looking to a closer
relationship of Board members through the President with the faculty of the University. The
President stated that he plans to call in from time to time the deans of the several schools for
direct reports to the Board. In this connection he asked for the Board's views on a Friday
meeting prior to the regular meeting in October of 1961, at which time one or more of the deans
could be brought in to report to the Board and afterwards there could be a social gathering with
other members of the faculty.
After discussion, it was decided that specific proposals for an additional Friday meeting
in October should be prepared by the President and should be acted upon by the Executive Committee
in ample time for the scheduling of such a meeting.
COMPENSATION FOR MEDICAL CLINICAL FACULTY
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 plan of compensation for the Clinical Faculty of the School of Medicine adopted by resolution
of the Board on 9 March 1957 (Minute Book, University of Virginia, No. 12, 9 March 1957,
pp. 7-8) be amended to increase, for the fiscal year 1960-1961, the limit of earnings from $22,500
to $25,000
NAMING OF THE FIELD HOUSE
The President proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution
WHEREAS the field house-auditorium-gymnasium building to be constructed at Copeley Hill will
meet many vital needs of the University of Virginia, such as providing adequate space and facilities
for indoor intercollegiate athletics, an auditorium with proper acoustics, seating, and equipment for
concerts, dramatic productions, and other cultural programs, sufficient seating for lectures, convocations,
or other major academic events, suitable accommodations for large meetings of local, statewide,
and regional groups having an appropriate call upon the educational facilities of the University,

life of the University and to the Commonwealth should be fittingly named,

PURCHASE OF UNIVERSITY GARDEN APARTMENT PROPERTY
The President reported that the Finance Committee of the Board, at its meeting on 12 May 1961,
had adopted a resolution recommending to the Board the purchase of the University Gardens from University
Manor Corporation, subject to the recommendation of the Buildings and Grounds Committee as to
the desirability of acquiring the property, and that, subsequently, the Buildings and Grounds Committee
had also recommended the purchase of the property.
The President stated that negotiations had been conducted with University Manor Corporation, owner
of the University Gardens property, for its purchase and a price of $530,000.00 had been tentatively
agreed upon, subject to the approval of the Board, terms of payment to be as follows
Since the University, in the opinion of Mr. Minor, its Special Counsel, was not authorized, under
the provisions of Section 23-65 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, to assume payment of any indebtedness
secured as a lien on the property, the University would take title to the property subject to, but
would not assume payment of, the amount due at date of settlement of the transaction upon an existing
indebtedness held by New York Life Insurance Company secured by deed of trust constituting a first lien
on the property. As of 31 May 1961, the principal balance on said indebtedness amounted to $419,941.66.

Mrs. Jones and Mr. McWane proposed and the Board adopted the following resolution

REPORT ON HARRISON MANN, JR.'S LETTER
In compliance with the Board's request at the last meeting on 8 April 1961, the President and the
Chancellor distributed to the Board members copies of their written report on a request for a review
of admissions policy at Mary Washington College made by Mr. Harrison Mann, Jr. in his letter to the
Rector dated 5 April 1961 in which Mr. Mann alleged that Mary Washington College had deliberately
the most highly qualified. The report stated that there had been no effort to limit enrollment by
curtailing requests for capital outlays. The report took issue with Mr. Mann's letter by pointing
out that Mary Washington College was charged by statute to maintain the same standards for admission
and graduation as the college at Charlottesville. Also, the College is already the largest State-supported
women's college in Virginia and is, in fact, the largest devoted entirely to undergraduate
education in the country. The report further showed that qualified Virginia students who
