METHODIST CHURCH REQUEST FOR CHAPEL

The President presented a letter from The Rev. C. Warner Crumb, Pastor of the Wesley Memorial
Methodist Church requesting extension of the privilege of using the University Chapel until the
Congregation can complete its own church building in 1956. Mr. Crumb's letter was accompanied
by a letter from Professor McCasland to the Comptroller recommending approval of the request on
behalf of the Chapel Committee. The Board adopted the following resolution.

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that the Comptroller be and he is hereby authorized to grant on a conditional basis the request
of the Wesley Memorial Methodist Church for use of the Chapel during 1955-56, provided that the
following conditions are agreed to by the Congregation: (1) The University reserves the right
to cancel the arrangement at any time upon thirty days' notice, (2) The University reserves the
right to cancel use of the Chapel by the Methodist Congregation on any specific day when such use
may conflict with University needs, and (3) The Methodist Congregation agrees not to request any
extension of the arrangement beyond the calendar year 1956, and understands that the University
is not willing to grant an extension beyond that date.
