Chap. 256.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 1541 of the Code of Virginia.

Approved March 13, 1908.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
fifteen hundred and forty-one of the Code of Virginia be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§1541. The University of Virginia shall be continued, and the visitors
thereof shall be and remain a corporation, under the style of “the
Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia;” and shall have, in
addition to its other powers, all the corporate powers given to corpora-
tions by the provisions of chapter five of an act entitled “an act con-
cerning corporations,” which became a law on May twenty-first, nine-
teen hundred and three; except in those cases where, by the express
terms of the provisions thereof, it is confined to corporations created
under the said act; and shall also have the power to accept, execute and
administer any trust in which it may have an interest under the terms
of the instrument creating the trust. The rector and visitors of the
University of Virginia shall be at all times subject to the control of the
general assembly.

2. An emergency is declared to exist on account of a doubt as to the
corporate power of the University of Virginia. This act shall be in
force from its passage.
