MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE MATTERS

ELECTION

The Chancellor 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 following person be and he is hereby elected to the faculty of Mary Washington College:

Mr. William R. Hullfish as Instructor in Music, for one semester, effective 1 February 1963,
at a salary to be determined by the number of students taught and the amount of special fees paid
by these students for applied music.

FINANCIAL REPORT

The Chancellor explained that the budget for the 1962-1964 biennium had been prepared in the
spring of 1961. The estimates of enrollment used in preparing that budget were based on the
maintenance of the same enrollment and the same ratio of Virginians to out-of-state students as
prevailed in the College during the academic year of 1960-1961. In the 1962-1963 academic year,
however, there was a marked shift in the ratio of Virginia students to out-of-state students.
Because of the increase in the number of applications from qualified Virginia students, there was
a decrease of 230 in the number of out-of-state students and a similar increase in the number of
Virginia students. This increase in the percentage of Virginia students was the result of carrying
out the College's policy of admitting all qualified Virginia applicants.

The replacement of out-of-state students by Virginia students would result, the Chancellor
reported, in a reduction in revenue of $83,950 for the fiscal year 1962-1963. This reduction would
occur because of the loss in revenue of $365, the non-resident tuition, for each of the 230 out-of-state
students. It will be necessary, the Chancellor concluded, to request the Governor to
authorize a deficit for the fiscal year 1962-1963 in the amount of $83,950

The Chancellor therefore 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,
subject to the approval of the Governor, Mary Washington College be and it is hereby authorized to
incur an operating deficit not to exceed $83,950 for the fiscal year ending on 30 June 1963

INCREASE IN TUITION AND FEES

The Chancellor stated that it would be necessary to increase student tuition and fees in
September 1963 in order to provide the necessary funds for the operation of the College. The Chancellor
reported that the student fees for Virginia and out-of-state students for the current fiscal
year of 1962-1963 are as follows

The proposed increase had been reviewed by the Mary Washington College Committee and the Finance
Committee and the recommendation to increase the fees bore the joint approval of both Committees.
The Chancellor further stated that the increase in tuition and fees was not only to prevent a deficit
in the fiscal year 1963-1964 but was also to provide for the long-range instructional and other needs
of Mary Washington College

The Chancellor 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 student tuition and fees at Mary Washington College, as listed below, be and they are hereby
approved, effective 1 September 1963 for the regular session and 1 June 1964 for the summer session

REPORT ON ENROLLMENT

The Chancellor presented and discussed in detail a report on enrollment for 1962-1963 and the
anticipated enrollment for 1963-1964. As a part of his statement, he presented a profile of the
entering classes for the last four years and commented on the encouraging results that had been
obtained from higher admission standards

NEW DORMITORY SITE

The Chancellor reported that the Buildings and Grounds Committee, earlier that morning, had
approved the recommendation of the Mary Washington College Committee that the new dormitory to be
constructed should be located between Brent Hall and Sunken Road

A NON-FORFEITABLE ANNUITY CONTRACT FOR FACULTY AND STAFF

The Chancellor, with the assistance of the Bursar, reported on the need to take advantage for
the faculty and staff of a non-forfeitable annuity contract which has been made available under the
U. S. tax laws. In order to make this annuity contract effective, it would be necessary for the
Board to pass a resolution which would give each member of the faculty and staff an opportunity to
enter into the agreement

After discussion, the Board adopted the following resolution

WHEREAS the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia has
determined that it is in the best interests of Mary Washington College that a non-forfeitable
annuity contract be made available to the faculty and staff, and

WHEREAS it is considered appropriate that the faculty and staff be given the election as to
whether to receive said annuity contract, and by exercising said election agree to accept a reduction
in salary equal to the contribution of Mary Washington College for the purchase of said annuity
contract,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that each employee of Mary Washington College of the University of
Virginia be and is hereby given the privilege of entering into an amendment to his or her existing
salary contract reflecting a reduction in the salary of the member of the faculty or staff for the
remainder of the salary contract term, that for those members of the faculty and staff who elect to
accept such reduction in salary, Mary Washington College apply for a non-forfeitable annuity contract
and purchase same for the benefit of said member of faculty or staff, and that the contribution of
Mary Washington College for the purchase of said annuity contract from such company as may be agreed
upon by the faculty and staff, be in an amount equal to the reduction in salary voluntarily agreed to
by the member of the faculty or staff
