which was approved:
INCREASE IN SALARY:
Increase in the salary of Dr. Lee W. Ryan, Assistant Professor of Spanish from $2,150 to $2,550 for the
session of 1946-47, plus the additional pay effective July 1, 1946 in lieu of the bonus expiring June 30, 1946.
LEAVES OF ABSENCE:
That the leave of absence to Dr. W. Edwin Hemphill be extended for two years from July 1, 1946, to
enable him to serve as Director of Virginia World War II History Commission to which he has been promoted.
That the leave of absence to Miss Mary McKenzie, Associate Professor of English, be extended for one
year from July 1, 1946, to enable her to take advantage of a fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and to
complete her work for her Ph. D. degree.
RESIGNATIONS:
The following resignations were accepted:
Dr. Charles S. Simons, Assistant Professor of Physics, effective June 3, 1946.
Dr. Mary C. Baker, Assistant Professor of Health and Physical Education. Dr. Baker was given a leave
of absence more than three years ago to enable her to enter military service, and it is regretted that
she has decided not to return to the college.
ADMISSION OF MALE STUDENTS NEXT SESSION: LOST:
The following motion was defeated:
RESOLVED, that non-boarding male students be admitted to Mary Washington College next session, with the
distinct understanding that this is not to be a permanent policy but is simply a temporary deviation from
the traditional policy of the college in an effort to help relieve an unprecedented situation.
PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL LAND:
RESOLVED, that Mary Washington College be and is hereby authorized to purchase a tract of land lying
between the northern boundary of the present campus and the New No. 1 highway, known as the by-pass,
embracing approximately twelve acres, at a cost of $20,000, upon execution of the deed, together with
