JOHN ALLAN LOVE TRUST

The President reported he had been in communication with Mr. John Allan Love of Clayton,
Missouri, who desires to establish a scholarship fund, the income of which is to be used to provide
a scholarship or scholarships to be awarded to some deserving undergraduate or graduate student
or students of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, whose home is or homes are in
Missouri, in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Visitors of the University
of Virginia shall determine, provided, however, that the total amount of scholarship aid
awarded shall not exceed the net annual income derived from said trust. If there should be no
applicant for such a scholarship whose home is in Missouri, or if the University shall not award
such scholarship aid in any year for any other reason, the income from the scholarship fund derived
during such year shall be added to the principal thereof. In awarding the financial aid thus provided,
preference shall be given to applicants who reside in St. Louis and St. Louis County, Missouri,
with first preference to those residing in St. Louis County. Whenever feasible, preference shall
also be given to those graduate or undergraduate students, fulfilling the previous conditions, who
intend to enroll or who are enrolled in courses at the Woodrow Wilson School of Foreign Affairs of
the University.

A draft of the proposed trust agreement between Mr. Love and The Rector and Visitors, prepared
by the University's Special Counsel, Mr. Minor, was being submitted to Mr. Love for approval.

The President explained that the funds donated by Mr. Love were being deposited by Mr. Love in
the Prudential Savings & Loan Association, of Clayton, Missouri, of which Mr. Love is President and
that the Savings Association desired a resolution of this Board authorizing the proper officers of
the University to open an account, to make withdrawals therefrom, and to execute a proxy to be voted
at all annual and special meetings of the Association held when the University is not specially
represented. He then submitted for consideration a resolution and proxy in the forms desired by
the Savings Association.

After careful consideration and full discussion, upon motion, duly seconded, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted by the Board

RESOLVED, that the proper officers of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia are
hereby authorized to open either a passbook or a certificate share account, as to them seems preferable,
and to execute for and on its behalf, the proxy in the form submitted to this Board, and to
invest its funds from time to time with Prudential Savings & Loan Association, Clayton, Missouri, and
that said Association is hereby authorized to act without further inquiry in accordance with writings
bearing the signatures of either of such officers, unless and until it has been notified of any
change of officers and of further authorization for other individuals to so sign, together with a
specimen of the signature of each such individual. The officers so authorized are Edgar F. Shannon,
Jr., President, and Vincent Shea, Comptroller.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia hereby desires to place on record its grateful appreciation and thanks to John Allan Love,
of Clayton, Missour, an alumnus of the Class of 1907, for his generous gifts to the University of
Virginia for the purpose of establishing a scholarship.

THE GEORGE BASKERVILLE ZEHMER ROOM IN MADISON HALL

The President stated that he had received a letter from the Dean of the Division of Extension
and General Studies, Mr. James W. Cole, Jr., proposing on behalf of the staff of the Division that
the West Room in the new quarters of the Division at Madison Hall be named in honor of the late
George Baskerville Zehmer, for many years Dean of the Division of Extension and General Studies. The
President noted that Mr. Zehmer was the first Director (the title was later changed to Dean) and had
served in that position for 38 years.

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 West Room of Madison Hall be named "The George Baskerville Zehmer Room" to honor and to
reflect the contributions of the late Dean George Baskerville Zehmer to the Division of Extension
and General Studies, to the University of Virginia, to the Commonwealth of Virginia, and to the
Nation.

SCHOOL OF GENERAL STUDIES

The President reported that he and the Dean of the Division of Extension and General Studies,
Mr. James W. Cole, Jr., had been considering a change in the name of the Division. A change was
needed, the President stated, to recognize more fully the role of the Division in the general
educational program of the University through the offering of work for college credit at the
several Extension Centers. The President reminded the Board of his statement at the meeting of
the Board on 14 October 1961 concerning the use of off-campus branches in the Extension Centers
of the University to determine whether a community college was needed. He and the Dean had
decided that the most appropriate name was that of "School of General Studies" which, he noted,
was one in general use in other universities in the country.

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 July 1962, the name of the Division of Extension and General Studies shall be
changed to School of General Studies.

REPORT ON STUDENT DISCIPLINE

The President reported in detail on the recent disturbances resulting from the actions of
some students on two occasions and on the conduct of several fraternities on Bid Sunday. He stated
that, as a result of these disturbances, certain actions had been taken to prevent future disturbances
of a mass nature. The two specific actions were (1) a ban on open parties at fraternities
in the future, and (2) the imposition of the penalty of suspension for any student found
guilty of participation in a riot or unlawful assembly. The President noted, however, that the
student leaders had shown great maturity and were unanimously behind the move to ban disturbances
of this kind and deserved high praise for their conduct.

Moreover, he stated that the Dean of the University, Mr. B. F. D. Runk, had imposed the
penalty of social probation on several fraternities for their disgraceful conduct on Bid Sunday.
He noted that Dean Runk throughout the whole period had performed in a manner far above and beyond
the call of duty. On the whole, he believed that the disturbances, while very regrettable, did
permit action to be taken which would be very helpful in the future.

UNCOLLECTIBLE HOSPITAL ACCOUNTS

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 Hospital Accounts Committee be and it is hereby authorized to charge off as uncollectible
accounts Schedules 1031, 1032, 1035, and 1036, aggregating $36,993.09 as recommended by it, consisting
of the following

TOTAL	$36,993.09

FINANCIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS

The President laid before the Board a copy of the annual financial report of the Department
of Athletics for the fiscal year ending on 30 June 1961. He reminded the Board that a copy of
this report was required by law to be deposited with the State Director of the Budget prior to
31 December of each year.

PROPERTY EASEMENTS ON EMMET STREET

The President stated that he had received a request from the City Manager of the City of
Charlottesville for some easements on certain University property for use in expanding the present
two-lane street from the C & O underpass north to a four-lane divided street. He informed the
Board that certain problems relating to the traffic flow into this street from University Gardens
had not yet been worked out in detail and stated that the matter could not wait for action by the
full Board at its meeting in February and hence his recommendation on the matter would have to be
submitted to the Executive Committee.
