PREPARATION OF MANUAL FOR BOARD OF VISITORS

The Rector called to the attention of the Board the existence of a Manual for the Board of
Visitors, which was in effect from 12 September 1947 to 8 October 1960, when the Manual was rescinded
by the Board because it was out of date, and in some parts misleading in its contents. The Rector
recommended the appointment of a special committee of the Board of Visitors to oversee the preparation
of a revised Manual and to submit its recommendations, along with a proposed draft of the new
Manual, to the Board for its consideration and approval. Under this proposal, the committee will be
authorized to obtain such professional assistance as it might deem necessary

The Rector, 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

(1) There is hereby established a special committee of the Board of Visitors to be known as the
Manual Committee, which shall consist of four members of the Board, to be appointed by the Rector,
and the President ex officio,

(2) The Committee is hereby authorized to seek such professional assistance as it may deem
necessary, and to pay the cost of such services from funds allocated to the Board,

(3) The Secretary of the Board shall serve as Secretary of the Manual Committee, and

(4) The Manual Committee is hereby directed to submit its proposed draft of a Manual to the
full Board not later than the October meeting in 1964
