A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 o'clock p. m.
The main purpose for which the meeting was called was to give the opponents of the
establishment of a coordinate college at the University of Virginia a hearing in the matter.

There were present the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors Carson, Hull, McIntire,
Munford, Rinehart, Scott, and Williams.

Messrs. Murray McGuire, R. B. Tunstall, Richmond Maury, Bowles, John Sloan, Hunter
Faulkner, and O'Connor Goolrick appeared and were given an hour and a half in which to
present reasons in opposition to the establishment of a coordinate college for women at
the University of Virginia or in the immediate vicinity thereof. The Board took no action
in the matter at this time, deferring same to a future meeting.

In reference to the election of Dr. Kenneth F. Maxcy, confirmation of which was deferred
to this meeting, Dr. Flippin stated that he had had a conference with Dr. Ennion G.
Williams, Director of Public Health of the State and several members of the State Board of
Health in an effort to have the Board withdraw its protest in the selection of Dr. Maxcy
and that while there was no objection on the part of the State Health Officer or the
members of the Board to Dr. Maxcy, they were not willing to withdraw their protest to the
manner of his selection. Following a general discussion of the matter, on motion of Mr.
Scott, the action taken at the meeting of the Board on June 10th, electing Dr. Kenneth F.
Maxcy, Professor of Public Health and Hygiene, at a salary of $6,500, incumbency to begin
Sept. 15, 1929, was unanimously confirmed.

Dr. Flippin presented a communication from Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Director of Public
Health, in reference to the promotion of Dr. W. E. Brown of the Blue Ridge Sanatorium to
a full professorship and the increase of his salary to $3,000 per session. In connection
with the foregoing Mr. Scott moved and it was adopted:

Mr. Scott, Chairman of the Finance Committee, stated that the Massachusetts Gas
Company would issue to the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia rights on
440 shares of its stock in the Austin Estate, and asked that authority be given the Rector
to sign such certificate when received, and stated further that he thought it would be advisable
to sell the rights and also the 440 shares of stock; whereupon the following motion,
duly made and seconded, was adopted:

The Bursar communicated to the Board a demand from the State Treasurer, acting under
authority of the Reorganization Act, that the Sinking Fund cash, now held by the Virginia
Trust Co., be deposited in the State Treasury, and in a letter to the Bursar under date of
June 8th, stated that the Virginia Trust Co. is to continue as the custodian of the securities,
and credit such interest and payments to the Treasurer of Virginia will honor all
authorizations for purchases of securities for the Sinking Fund upon approval of the
Finance Board of the University of Virginia, or any official or board of the Institution
having authority to make investments, and checks will be drawn by the Treasurer of Virginia
against the Sinking Fund in payment of purchases of securities for the Fund; that the 3%
interest now allowed by the Virginia Trust Company on uninvested funds will be added to
the corpus of the Fund.

Pursuant with the foregoing the following motion, duly made and seconded, was adopted:

The President presented a list of capital outlays and additional expenses of operation
items, which he wished the Board to approve, to be presented to the Governor, to be included
in the biennial budget for the University of Virginia for 1930-32. The tentative requests
were considered and approved.

On motion the meeting then adjourned.
