MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE BOARD OF VISITORS OF VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY
HELD ON MAY 24, 1968
A special meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board
of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University was held on the
24th day of May, 1968 at 10:00 o'clock in the morning in the
President's dining room of the Richmond Professional Institute in
the City of Richmond, Virginia, pursuant to due notice.
Present were all of the members of the Committee except
Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Edward A. Wayne served as Chairman of the meeting
and Mr. Brent as Secretary thereof.
The Chairman then explained that the purpose for which
the meeting had been called was to consider and act upon the
proposed By-laws so that action might be taken in connection
therewith by the Board of Visitors. He also pointed out that as
of July 1, 1968 the Medical College of Virginia and the Richmond
Professional Institute would cease to exist as separate
independent institutions and that, accordingly, it would be
necessary for action to be taken to continue all personnel
presently serving both of the institutions.
A general discussion was then held in connection with
the By-laws with various modifications and changes being
suggested, all of which were adopted and following which, on
motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Chairman
was authorized to present the By-laws as modified to the Board of
Visitors with the approval of the Committee.
At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Brent then presented
to the meeting a proposed resolution which would in effect
continue all of the personnel presently employed by the Medical
College of Virginia and the Richmond Professional Institute in
their present positions without any change except in the title of
the President of the Richmond Professional Institute and the
President of the Medical College of Virginia. The proposed
resolution was considered in some detail and various changes
therein made after which it was unanimously agreed that it would
be presented as modified to the Board of Visitors for considera-
tion and action.
There being no further business to come before the
meeting, the same on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously
carried, adjourned.
