FLYING FIELD - APPLICATION TO STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION:
The President then presented to the meeting an application upon a form promulgated by the
Division of Aeronautics of the State Corporation Commission for permit for the establishment, maintenance,
operation and conduct of an airport and/or landing field for landing and departure of civil aircraft
engaged in commercial aviation, under and in accordance with provisions of Sections 3775a to 3775n and
3074a to 3074i of The Code of Virginia.
Discussion of the propriety of making this application developed the fact that application in
the form submitted is necessary if the University is to obtain a permit for operation of such a flying
field as is necessary in connection with our aeronautical training program. After a full consideration
of the whole situation, during which Captain Royal, representing a group of citizens of the Shadwell and
Keswick communities, was heard in opposition to its location on the proposed site, the following resolution
was adopted:
RESOLVED, by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that the President be and
he is hereby authorized and directed to execute said application in the name and on behalf of The
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, and to take such steps as may be necessary to
file said application with the State Corporation Commission, and to authorize and direct such
further action on behalf of the University as may be necessary in and about securing the permit
applied for.
