The 17th clause of the Will of George Zinn, deceased, of Rydal,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, reads as follows:

I am advised that Mr. Zinn died during the early part of the year
1929 and his will was duly offered for probate in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania,
by the Equitable Trust Company of Wilmington, Delaware, and Wm. R.
Scharton, of Reading, Massachusetts, Executors named in said will.

I am also advised that when said will was so offered for probate a
caveat against the probate thereof was filed by Mrs. Flora M. Zinn, his
widow, no provision having been made in said will for said widow. Our attention
was first called to this matter through a letter from Wm. R.
Scharton addressed to the Trustees of the University of Virginia, under
date of July 30th, 1929. This letter was referred to me on July 31st, 1929,
by Mr. Newcomb, and I immediately made an investigation which resulted in
the employment of Messrs. Larzelere & Wright, attorneys of Norristown,
Pennsylvania, to represent the interests of the University under this will.
A number of letters passed between these attorneys and myself, with the
result that in the early part of December, last, it was decided that the
situation, which had developed, was of sufficient importance to require
personal attention and therefore Mr. Newcomb and I went first to Wilmington,
Delaware, where we conferred with representatives of the Annie Rogers
duPont interests (Mr. Zinn having been a son of Mrs. Annie Rogers duPont)

and after obtaining such information as we needed from this source,
we proceeded to Norristown where we had a conference with Mr.
Larzalere and with Mr. Wright, going over the whole situation with
these gentlemen. From their office we went to the office of Messrs.
Ballard, Spahr, Andrews and Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, where we
conferred with Mr. Ingersoll, who is the attorney for Mrs. Flora M.
Zinn. The information which we have been able to gather from correspondence
and from our personal interviews is as follows:

First. It is practically certain that should litigation
with reference to the probate of the will be allowed to continue the
will will be set aside and Mr. Zinn will thereupon become intestate.
In this event the University will, of course, be entitled to no part
of his estate.

Second. Mrs. Flora M. Zinn, it seems, has the entire sympathy
of certain of the duPont interests and on this account an offer has
been made by these interests to make settlement with the different
legatees named under the will, by paying certain amounts in cash which
are to be received by the different legatees in full payment of their
respective legacies.

Third. In order to pay all of Mr. Zinn's debts and the legacies
under his will this estate would have to consist of something over
$600,000.00. As a matter of fact the actual value of the estate does
not exceed $235,000.00. The result is that if the will were sustained
all legacies would have to be reduced to about thirty-six per cent of
their actual amounts. This would mean that if the will were sustained
the University would receive about $18,000.00 under this will.

Fourth. Mrs. Zinn now proposes to pay the University this
$18,000.00 in cash provided the University will assign to her all of
its rights under said will. Similar assignments are to be made by the
other legatees under the will and Wm. R. Scharton, chief legatee under
the will and the largest single creditor agrees that if this is done he
will waive payment of debts and legacies amounting in the aggregate to
about $110,000. It is this agreement on Mr. Scharton's part that makes
it worth while for Mrs. Zinn to take the assignments of different
legacies.

Fifth. The conclusion which we have reached upon this subject
is that should we insist upon undertaking to uphold the will in the
face of Mrs. Zinn's caveat, we will not only be put to large expense in
the matter of attorneys' fees and cost of litigation but should we
actually succeed in sustaining the will, which is doubtful in the extreme,
we could not hope to receive more than the $18,000.00 which Mrs.
Zinn now offers to us without litigation. It will thus be seen that
there is no possible argument in favor of declining Mrs. Zinn's offer.

We, therefore, unhesitatingly recommend that it be accepted and
that proper resolution be adopted directing the Rector to execute the
necessary assignments to Mrs. Zinn.

CONTRACT

By his will, which was admitted to probate in the Clerk's Office
for the Circuit Court of Culpeper County, Virginia, on the 14th day of
January, 1905, and recorded in said Office in W. B. 3, p. 191, Franklin
Stringfellow Hall, after giving to his wife, Mrs. Bessie Hall, the sum
of $400.00 absolutely, and providing for payments of his debts and for
the erection of a suitable monument over his grave, leaves all the rest
and residue of his said estate, both real and personal, to his said wife
for life, with remainder to The Rector and Visitors of the University of

said University forever, and that the income from the same shall be applied

He gives to his wife the "undisturbed possession and control" of
his entire estate during her life, and the right to use and enjoy the income
therefrom, requiring no security of her and giving her full power to
change investments and to sell and convey real estate, and said will
directs that no inventory or appraisment of said estate should be made,
but directs that as soon as practicable after his death his said wife
should furnish said University with an accurate and detailed statement of
said estate, and the value of the same, and that she should keep said
University advised of any change of investment she might make from time to
time.

At the time of his death, the estate of said Franklin Stringfellow
Hall had a gross value of approximately $9000.00. At the present time said
estate has a gross value of $9250.00, and the said Mrs. Bessie Hall desires
to be relieved of the further responsibility of the management of said
estate, and wishes to turn the full principal amount thereof over to The
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, upon agreement by
said University to pay to her, during the remainder of her life, an annuity

at a sum not exceeding 5% per annum upon the principal fund, and in
accordance with the provisions of Acts of 1916, page 491, by which Act
said University is authorized to enter into a contract of this character.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS CONTRACT made this 14th day of February,
1931, by and between the said Mrs. Bessie Hall, of the first part, and
The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, of the second
part,

WITNESSETH:

That in consideration of the premises, the said Mrs. Bessie Hall
doth hereby transfer, assign, set over and deliver unto said The Rector
and Visitors of the University of Virginia the principal sum of $9250.00.

And in consideration of the delivery to it by said Mrs. Bessie Hall
of said $9250.00 above referred to, said The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia, acting pursuant to authority vested in it by an
Act of the Legislature of Virginia, approved March 16th, 1916 (see Acts of
1916, p. 491), doth hereby agree and bind itself to pay to the said Mrs.
Bessie Hall an annuity during the whole of the remainder of the life of
said Mrs. Bessie Hall, which said annuity shall not exceed 5% per annum
upon said principal amount of $9250.00, and said annuity to be payable to
said Mrs. Bessie Hall in semi-annual or quarterly installments, as she may
direct; it being understood, of course, that upon the death of said Mrs.
Bessie Hall said principal fund, together with any income which may have
accrued between the date of the last payment of any installment of such
annuity and the date of death of said Mrs. Bessie Hall, shall then pass
to said The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, absolutely
and completely, in accordance with the terms of the will of said Franklin
Stringfellow Hall hereinbefore referred to.

And said Mrs. Bessie Hall hereby certifies that she is at the present
time eighty-three (83) years of age, and that said fund of $9250.00
represents the whole of the estate of the said Franklin Stringfellow Hall
now in her hands.

WITNESS the following signatures and seals:

CONTRACT

WHEREAS the Virginia Education Association is composed chiefly of
teachers and officers of the Public Free Schools of Virginia, some of whom
from time to time require hospital attention and services, and who desire to
obtain and use the same in connection with the Hospital of the University

of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Virginia, upon terms and conditions
mutually satisfactory to the University of Virginia and to this Association;
and

WHEREAS certain terms and conditions have been agreed upon by said
Association and by The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia;

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS CONTRACT made this 13th day of June, 1927, by
and between said Virginia Education Association, hereinafter called Association,
of the first part, and The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia, hereinafter called University, of the second part,

WITNESSETH:

1st. Said Association hereby agree to pay to said University the
sum of $40,000.00, for the purpose of providing and maintaining a Preventorium
or hospital service and attention required by the members of said Association
from time to time, and to that end the said University shall set apart and
use, so far as may be necessary or desirable, for that purpose the whole of a
floor of the south wing of the new hospital building in essential conformity
with the plans submitted by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch & Abbott, the same to
be known as the Ennion G. Williams Preventorium.

2nd. That space for twenty patients with the necessary bath and
service room facilities shall be provided and shall, in all respects, be in
keeping with the present hospital; and that the University shall maintain and
control the said rooms as a Preventorium or teachers' pavilion, in exactly
the same manner as it maintains the regular University Hospital.

It is understood that if it be found that $40,000.00 will not be
sufficient for the purposes named, further negotiations will be entered into
by the parties concerned before construction shall be begun. And if $40,000.00
should be more than the amount required for said purposes the excess shall be
used so far as necessary to furnish the said Preventorium, after which any
unexpended balance shall revert to the Virginia Education Association.

3rd. That the professional services which shall be rendered shall
include such examinations and treatment as is provided at the regular University
Hospital, and shall also include any additional service or treatment of
any kind or nature which may hereafter be established and maintained as a
part of the hospital facilities of the University. Such services shall include
all examinations, diagnoses, laboratory tests, X-ray examinations,
prescriptions, operations, board, room service, ordinary nursing attention
and any other services of any kind or nature which may be rendered as a
part of the regular University Hospital.

4th. That the professional services offered and rendered to the
patients assigned pursuant hereto shall be made by the regular physicians
and surgeons who ordinarily perform such services or operations in the
regular University Hospital and are given to pay patients.

A charge of $4.00 per day shall be made for each teacher entering hereunder
for each day confined in said Hospital, or using the Preventorium. A
minimum for any teacher shall be $15.00, even if the charge of $4.00 per day
shall not be equal to that sum. Should, at any time after one years expiration,
the cost of service to occupants of the Preventorium be more or less on the
average than $4.00 per day, then the University shall fix the per diem charges
so as to conform with such costs.

5th. That this Association and the teachers entering the Preventorium,
or pavilion, in pursuance hereof, shall be under no expense for any equipment,
repairs, maintenance, janitor's service or any expense of any kind in connection
with the operation of such Preventorium, or pavilion. No patient shall be admitted
by the University to the facilities provided for under these resolutions
except through the approval and certification for admission by this Association
acting through its executive committee, or other proper committee regularly
assigned for that purpose. It is understood, however, that no certification
for admission shall be given except to members of the Virginia Education Association.

All occupants of the proposed Preventorium shall be subject to the same
rules and regulations that apply to the regular patients of the University of
Virginia Hospital. The properly authorized administrative officers of the University
Hospital reserve the right to decide upon the medical suitability of
applicants for admission and the proper time of discharge of patients from the
Preventorium. If any rooms so set apart as a Preventorium are not needed for
the purposes of the Association then the University may for such time use them
for general hospital purposes.

6th. The terms and conditions set out in this contract shall continue
in force for one year from the date hereof, and shall thereafter continue
from year to year unless changed by said Association and said University,
acting through their regularly constituted authorities.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF said Virginia Education Association has caused
this contract to be signed by H. L. Sulfridge, its President, and the said The
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia has caused its name to be
signed hereto by Frederic W. Scott, its Rector, said signatures being affixed
on the 17th day of March, 1931, and this contract being prepared and executed
in order to carry out the provisions of certain Resolutions heretofore adopted
by the Virginia Education Association at a meeting held on the 14th day of May,
1927, and the provisions of certain Resolutions adopted by said The Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia at a meeting of its Board of Visitors,
held on the 13th day of June, 1927.

I, Blanche L. Shepherd, a Notary Public for the County and State
aforesaid, do certify that H. L. Sulfridge, whose name is signed to the
foregoing writing bearing date March 17th, 1931, has acknowledged the same
before me in my County aforesaid.

Given under my hand this 16th day of April 1931.

I, Blanche L. Shepherd, a Notary Public for the County and State
aforesaid, do certify that Fred W. Scott, whose name is signed to the foregoing
writing bearing date March 17th, 1931, has acknowledged the same before
me in my County aforesaid.

Given under my hand this 17th day of March, 1931.

RESOLVED, That the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia
express to Frederic W. Scott, Esq., the grateful appreciation of his proposal
to make to the University gifts in the amount of $60,000 each in
each year 1930 to 1934, inclusive.

That the amount or proceeds of said gifts be applied to the erection
of an Athletic Stadium and the proper officers of the University are authorized
to carry the same as made and received in each year to the Stadium Fund.

It is my desire to get into definite shape the matter
of certain gifts or donations which I have contemplated making to the University
of Virginia.

With this object in view I now desire to advise you
that I have determined to give or donate to The Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia the sum of $60,000 during each of the years 1930,
1931, 1932, 1933 and 1934, said respective gifts, each for the sum stated,
to be made on or before the 31st day of December in each year. I shall make
each of these gifts in whole or in part either in cash or in readily marketable
securities having a net market value equal to the respective sums named
on the date that said gift is made and the cash and securities delivered. I
also reserve the right to anticipate said gifts, or any of them, by increasing
the amount given in any year.

It is not my intention to make a present gift of the
aggregate of the sums named, but that said respective gifts shall be considered
as being made only as and on the dates that the cash or securities
to the amount or of the net value stated shall actually be delivered in each
year.

I am gratified that the Board of Visitors has determined
to apply these gifts to the erection of an Athletic Stadium for the University.

The first of these gifts for the year 1930 will be made,
and the cash or securities in the amount or to the value of $60,000 will be
delivered, prior to the 31st of the month.
