WHEREAS, this Board had been notified that the late Marie Louise Douglas of
the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has, by her last will and testament, of record
in the Probate Court, City of Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan, devised
to this Board, certain Ann Arbor real estate, as appears by the fifth paragraph
of said will, as follows:
FIFTH: I give, devise and bequeath to The Regents of the University of
Michigan, a Constitutional Corporation, the real estate owned by me and situated
on East Huron Street and East Washington Street in the city of Ann Arbor,
Washtenaw County, Michigan, and known as 502 East Huron Street, but including the entire parcel there situate and extending from East Huron Street on the
north, to East Washington Street on the south, it being expressly provided, however, that it be known as the Washtenaw Historical Museum. I express the wish
that the enterprise be conducted as a joint museum for the display of the property of the Washtenaw Historical Museum, under the supervision of The Regents
of the University of Michigan, with such cooperation between the groups as may
be desirable to effectuate that purpose.
In the event that The Regents of the University of Michigan elect not to
accept this gift, I will and direct that the property above mentioned be considered a part of the residue of my estate and disposed of accordingly.
Now therefore, be it Resolved, That by reason of the provisos and restrictions
to such gift, and after full and careful consideration thereof, this Board hereby
elects not to accept the gift of said property, and hereby declines the device
provided in such last will and testament, and hereby releases and discharges said
estate and its executor, James G. Hays, from any and all liability in connection
therewith.
The President placed on file communications from Professor
Wassily Besekirsky and Professor Hanns Pick with respect to their
salaries and other terms and conditions of employment (p. 771).
All of the above actions were by unanimous vote except where
otherwise expressly stated.
