RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION FOR GIFT TO SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE

The following resolution was adopted

WHEREAS an Alumnus of the University, who asks to remain anonymous, has made a magnificent gift
of $500,000 to support instruction and research in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and

WHEREAS this gift is the latest in a series of gifts previously made by this same person to
support instruction and research in Physics, Biology, and Chemistry,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that,
although the donor of this gift has asked that his name not be made public, quite a number of the
members of the Board are aware that the man who is now making this great contribution has already
made most substantial gifts to the University, that we want him to know how deeply grateful we are
not only for the magnitude of his gifts but for the fine thought and special interest that he has
taken in the affairs of the University, and that we wish to send him, along with our gratitude, an
expression of our deep and affectionate regard for him not only as one of the most generous alumni
the University has ever had but also as one of the most outstanding and constructive men ever connected
with it
