Chap. 281.—An ACT to amend and re-enact Section 835 of the Code of Virginia,
as amended, relating to the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute.
[H 156]
Approved March 25, 1944
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That section eight hundred thirty-five of the Code of Virginia,
as amended, be amended and re-enacted, as follows:
Section 835. (a) The Board of Visitors is to consist of twelve visi-
tors, ten to be appointed by the Governor, from the State at large, and
the Adjutant General and the Superintendent of Public Instruction ex-
officio. The appointive visitors in office when this amendment takes ef-
fect are continued until January one, nineteen hundred forty-five. Their
successors are to be appointed for the following terms: two for terms to
expire five years; two for terms to expire four years; two for terms to
expire three years; two for terms to expire two years; and two for
terms to expire one year, from December thirty-one, nineteen hundred
forty-four.
(b) Thereafter, within sixty days preceding the day on which the
terms of office respectively of the visitors will expire by limitation, the
Governor shall appoint, to fill the vacancies so occasioned, qualified per-
sons whose terms shall be for five years from the day on which the terms
of their immediate predecessors expired.
(c) All vacancies, whether occasioned by failure to make an ap-
pointment within the sixty days preceding any regular expiration as re-
quired, or otherwise, are to be filled by the Governor for the unexpired
term.
(d) All appointments are subject to confirmation by the Senate at
its next session. Appointive visitors shall continue to discharge their
duties after their terms have expired until their successors have been ap-
pointed and have qualified.
(e) The Governor may appoint visitors from a list of qualified per-
sons submitted to him, before or after induction into office, by the alumni
association of the Virginia Military Institute, on or before the first day
of October of any year in which the terms of any visitors will expire.
(f) Whenever a vacancy occurs, otherwise than by expiration of
term, the Governor shall certify this fact to the association and nomina-
tions may be submitted of qualified persons and the Governor may fill the
vacancy, if his discretion so dictates, from among the eligible nominees
of the association.
(g) Every list shall contain at least three names for each vacancy
to be filled.
(h) The Governor is not to be limited in his appointments to the
persons so nominated.
(i) At no time shall less than four or more than eight of the ap-
pointive visitors be alumni of the Institute.
(j) No person shall be eligible to serve for or during more than
two successive terms, and incumbency during the current term when this
amendment takes effect constitutes the first of the two successive terms
with respect to eligibility for appointment except that members who shall
have served for less than four years on January one, nineteen hundred
forty-five, shall be eligible for re-appointment for such periods as shall
make a total continuous service of ten years.
(k) Six visitors shall constitute a quorum for business. The Board
may sue and be sued for any cause or matters which have heretofore
arisen, or which hereafter arise.
