Dr. Combs stated to the Board that Dr. Reichel had proposed to sell to the Mary Washington College
all of the furniture and furnishings in his home, together with the lawn furniture, for the sum of $26,000.
Dr. Reichel had arrived at this price as a result of an appraisal made by a prominent interior decorator
in Richmond. After a thorough discussion of the matter, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, by the Board of Visitors of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
that the Board's Committee of Mary Washington College, consisting of Mr. Garnett, Mrs. Wailes
and Mrs. Willis, be authorized and directed to have an independent appraisal made of the furniture
and furnishings offered for sale by Dr. Reichel.
RESOLVED, further, that after the appraisal has been made, the Committee be given full
authority to act.
