the biennium 1964-1966
GENERAL WELFARE OF THE COLLEGE
The Chancellor reported on the general welfare of the College, including comments on admissions,
a faculty salary scale, and the curriculum
TRIP TO INDIA
The Chancellor reported on his recent trip to India, and the Exchange Program between American
and Indian Women's Colleges.
GIFT FROM THE LATE O. PENDLETON WRIGHT
The Chancellor reported that Mr. O. Pendleton Wright, of the architectural firm, Wright, Jones
and Wilkerson, College architects, left the College two shares in his estate. We received notice
of this bequest from the State-Planters Bank of Commerce and Trusts, executors and trustees of the
estate. They estimate the College interest in the estate to be approximately $2,500. We understand,
however, that this may be a conservative estimate and the sum may be substantially greater.
The proceeds are to be used as scholarship funds to assist worthy students in need of financial
assistance
ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION GIFT
The Chancellor reported that, in June 1961, the Alumnae Association of the College gave to
the Chancellor an unrestricted gift of $5,000 to be used for awarding fellowships either to Mary
Washington undergraduates or graduates or Mary Washington College faculty. The Chancellor has
made several small awards from this fund. In June 1963, the Alumnae Association authorized the
establishment on a permanent basis of the $5,000 fund, and agreed to replace annually any amount
used by the Chancellor for the purposes stated
