'round to us the Month of May, and, with its closing days, the
Centennial Celebration of the University, it has seemed not
inappropriate that we should have an illustrated re-print of
The Burning of the Rotunda; which, in the October, 1905,
issue of the University of Virginia Magazine, described
the event as "that fortunate catastrophe which, by reason of
the renewed energy and vigor which it has instilled into our
alumni and all lovers of higher education in this state, may
with some justice be characterized as the second epoch in the
history of the University,—the founding being reckoned as the
first and the Installation of Dr. Alderman as the third." | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1789-1867 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Boy of Mount Rhigi | | | | Published: | 1997 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | University of Virginia Library, Early American Fiction, 1789-1875 | UVA-LIB-EarlyAmFict1789-1875 | | | | Description: | There is a certain portion of the Tahconnick range
of mountains, in the western part of Massachusetts,
called Rhigi, said to have been thus named by
Swiss emigrants who settled there, and who probably
came from the neighborhood of Mount Rhigi, in Switzerland,
one of the beautiful resorts of that most beautiful
land.[1]
[1]There are other similar traces of Swiss settlement in this
neighborhood. Bash Bish, the lovely fall now becoming known
and celebrated, is a corruption of a very common Swiss name of
their minor falls. The love of the father-land is expressed by
the names the emigrant gives to the land of his adoption. The
Pilgrim bestowed on the New England settlements the names
of his old England home — Norfolk, Suffolk, Boston, Northampton,
Stockbridge, &c., and the New Englander repeats
them in his new home in the far west.
“Firstly, I enclose the two dollars
you gave me for travelling expenses. I met
Mr. Lyman on board the steamboat, and he gave me
five dollars, which he said he owed me for my aid in
the drawings he made for the New York architect.
Fine! After the wet time of parting was over, I was
in luck. Mr. Porter would not take any thing for
bringing me to the boat, — thirty good miles, — because
I helped him pick up apples one day after Jesse Porter
broke his arm. I was pretty hungry; but hearing they
charged half a dollar for supper, I bought some
crackers and cheese before I went on board. So I
came to the city for fifty cents. Such bustle and
confusion as there was on the wharf where we landed!
I made my way through it as well as I could, and
inquired the way to Chambers Street, not far, No. —,
where Mrs. Dawson lives. I saw the windows were
all closed, and so I sat my box of clothes down, and
sat on it. I began to feel both lonesome and hungry;
nothing seemed like morning — the fresh, beautiful
morning of the country. The sun shining on
chimneys and brick walls, instead of hill-tops and
sparkling waters; not a solitary bird singing; not
even a cock crowing. After a while, milkmen began
to appear. There was a different one for almost every
house, and each made a horrid outcry; and, after
a while, a woman came out of a cellar, and took a
measure of milk. Though they live in great houses,
this seems poverty to me. By and by, there came a
lively little driver with baskets full of bread. I remembered
Dr. Franklin's account of his buying a loaf
of bread and eating it as he walked through the
streets of Philadelphia, when first he went there;
and, though I do not expect to eat bread in kings'
houses, as he afterwards did, I thought there would
be no harm in following his example; so I bought a
sixpenny loaf of bread, and, with a draught of milk
from a milkman, I made a good breakfast. You see,
mother, I am determined to make my money last, if
possible, till I can earn more, and not call on you or
trouble our kind friend Mrs. Dawson. As soon as
her blinds were opened, I rung. The man who opened
the door smiled when I asked for Mrs. Dawson, and
said she would rise in about two hours. How long
those two hours were! But when they were over,
and I was summoned to her, she was as kind as ever.
She told me she had procured for me an excellent
place in a retail shop in Broadway, where, if I did as
well as my employer expected from her account of
me, I should receive enough, even the first year, to
pay my board. Before going there, she advised me to
secure a boarding-place; she had made inquiries for
this, and gave me references, and off I set. I went
from one to another. At one there was a multitude
of clerks, and a coarse, slatternly housekeeper; at
another there was a set of low traders. I went in
while they were at dinner, and a very slight observation
13
of their vulgar manners and conversation convinced
me they were not associates that I should
relish or you would approve. The next was full,
and the last was too filthy for any thing. As I
came off the steps quite discouraged, there was a
little fat lady walking before me in a gray silk
gown, and a white shawl, looking as neat as a new
pin. Two dirty shavers of boys had filled a squirt-gun
in the gutter, and had taken aim at the lady's
nice gown. I sprang upon them just in time,
wrenched the squirt-gun from their hands, and sent
it off out of sight. They began kicking and bawling;
and she, turning round, learned the mischief
they had intended. She was very thankful to me,
very good natured, and talkative. She told me the
gown was new, just come home, and she had put it
on for a wedding-visit, — a visit to her niece's husband's
first cousin; it was her best gown, too; she
had heard of the boys playing such tricks; boys
would be boys, &c., &c. O, mother dear! her
tongue goes by machinery. (Not father's!) She had
such a friendly way, and did not seem a very great
lady, and asked me so many questions, — my name,
where I came from, &c., — that I thought I would tell
her what I was in search of. This silenced her
for a moment; then she said, “Come home with me,
and we'll see what can be done. I'll talk to Plenty,
— Plenty is my sister, — and perhaps — but I won't
raise expectations yet. We live in Mercer Street,
retired and central too.” “It seems to me, dear mother, that I have lived a
year in the last fortnight. On the very Monday that
I sent you an account of the upshot at Holson's, Mr.
Nevis obtained the promise of an excellent situation
for me with Messrs. James Bent & Co., where his
son, my friend, already is. Mr. Bent is respected as
a man of strict integrity, and every part of his establishment
is well conducted; and I am to have a salary
of $150. Only imagine how rich I shall be! `It
never rains, but it pours!' Coming out of Mr. Bent's,
who should I meet but Mr. Lyman! He has more
work on hand than he can do, — making plans and
drawings for the first architect in the city, — and he
wanted me to help him. Never was any thing more
opportune. The place I am to have at Mr. Bent's
will not be vacant till next month, and now I can be
earning something; and, to tell the truth, mother, I do
need a little fitting up for summer.” “Your present, my dear son, was very acceptable,
as a proof of your abiding and ever-thoughtful love;
but do not send me any thing more at present.
Keep your earnings for your summer's outfit. We
want for nothing. Thanks to a kind Providence, my
health is good, and Annie's. There is never lack
of work for willing hands; and our wants, except
for your afflicted father, are small. His cough is
severe, and he declines daily, so that the doctor says
he should not be surprised if he dropped away at
any minute. His appetite continues remarkably. I
might find it difficult to satisfy it, but our kind
neighbors send in daily of their best. We have
plenty of fresh. To-day, dear old Mrs. Allen sent a
quarter of a roaster, and your father ate nearly the
whole of it. You know he was always remarkably
fond of pig. Our neighbors never let him be out of
custards, pies, and preserves. You know, Harry, I
never liked to call on my neighbors for watchers in
sickness, and think that, in most cases, it's much
better doing without them; but father feels different.
He likes company, he says, when he is awake, and I
am no talker. He is able yet to engage his own
watchers. He borrows the sheriff's old horse, and
jogs round after them. I don't oppose, though I
sometimes fear he will die on the road; but it serves
to divert him. “My dear cousin, — I am proud to call you so, —
Harry Davis, your visit to me has done me, as I
humbly hope, great good. I had lived here ten years,
within a stone's throw of this jail, and never seen
the inside of it. I call myself a Christian. I am
a professor. I pray daily in my family for those
who are in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity,
and yet I have never, till you came here, lifted
one of my fingers to loosen these bonds. I pray that
missionaries, preaching the good news of salvation,
may be sent to the whole human family. I subscribe
to charitable societies, — and so I should, as God has
prospered me, — and yet I have not done the duty
nearest to me. If I had, or if my Christian neighbors
had, the scenes of filth, idleness, and iniquity in that
jail would never have existed to witness against us.
I have taken measures to have that rascally jailer
removed. They talk of a disinfecting fluid. There
should be a moral disinfection in the character of the
man who has the care of the tenants of a jail — morally
diseased creatures. It is now three months since
I have been with Mr. Bent; and, excepting
my poor father's death, life has been all smooth sailing
with me. You have been getting on so nicely!
Clapham Hale giving such complete satisfaction to
Mr. Norton, and you and Annie — as appears by
your last letter — surprised with his improved appearance
and manly bearing. Does he not seem like one
of us? | | | Similar Items: | Find |

with which to reproach herself in her
treatment of Edgar Allan Poe. Through ill
report and good he was followed with her maternal
solicitude and misgivings, but never with
her reproof or wrath. In his college days she
may have been too lenient, but in the days of
his fame she is not constrained by any hobgoblin
of consistency to withhold her praise. She
has, therefore, had peculiar pride in witnessing
his universal acclaim as a man of genius and as
a singularly forceful agency in compelling international
recognition of our American literature.
Her anxiety is no longer lest he be not
recognized at his real worth, but lest, in the
ardor of revived enthusiasm, his real merit,
however high, be overrated and his rightful
place, so tardily won, jeopardized by claims too
sweeping and superlative. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

I am dying,
and can never see you again on earth, but will in
the land of spirits. My strength is failing—I
have but a few minutes to live, and will devote
them to you. You have often questioned me of
your father. I have delayed answering you,—but
the time has now come when it is necessary you
should know all. God give me strength to pen,
and you to read the secret of my life!—and Ronald,
dear Ronald, whatever you do, do not reproach,
do not curse my memory! I shall enter
but little into detail, for time and strength will
not permit. At the age of twelve I was left an
orphan, and was taken in charge of some distant
relatives of my mother, with whom I lived in
easy circumstances, until the age of sixteen.
They were not wealthy, and yet had enough
wherewithal to live independent. They treated
me with much affection, and life passed pleasantly
for four years. At the age of sixteen, I accidentally
became acquainted with Walter Langdon,
only son of Sir Edgar Langdon, whose large
estate and residence—for he was very wealthy—
was but a few miles distant. He found opportunity
and declared his attachment, but at the
same time informed me that our relations on either
side would be opposed to our union, and begged
me to make no mention of it, but to prepare myself
and elope with him; that when the ceremony
was over, and no alternative, all parties would
become reconciled. He was young, handsome, and

our Heavenly Father, and his son, the Lord Jesus, that I take up my

prison house of death, where, by his inscrutable Providence, she that

pleasures now lies. Blessed be her spirit. But it is my office to heal
and not to open up afresh the wounds of my people. I bless God that
you arrived safely at home, and I trust my very dear young friend, that
your thoughts will be directed to the church, that you may be inclosed
in its broad fold, and that you may be made free by its bondage. For
the blessed privilege that we enjoy in this land, where there is none to
make us afraid, and where we have liberty in Christ, in his church and

the Tyrolean Alps, and the moon was already risen
above the low barrier of the Lido. Hundreds of
pedestrians were pouring out of the narrow streets
of Venice into the square of St. Mark, like water
gushing through some strait aqueduct, into a broad
and bubbling basin. Gallant cavalieri and grave
cittadini; soldiers of Dalmatia, and seamen of the
galleys; dames of the city, and females of lighter
manners; jewellers of the Rialto, and traders from
the Levant; Jew, Turk, and Christian; traveller,
adventurer, podestà, valet, avvocato and gondolier,
held their way alike to the common centre of amusement.
The hurried air and careless eye; the measured
step and jealous glance; the jest and laugh;
the song of the cantatrice, and the melody of the
flute; the grimace of the buffoon, and the tragic
frown of the improvisatore; the pyramid of the grotesque,
the compelled and melancholy smile of the
harpist, cries of water-sellers, cowls of monks,
plumage of warriors, hum of voices, and the universal
movement and bustle, added to the more permanent
objects of the place, rendered the scene the
most remarkable of Christendom. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

to a chair. He scarcely observed that Don Camillo
Monforte was still present, nor did he note the brightness
and joy which glowed in the eyes of the ardent
Violetta. Indeed his appearance was at first unseen
by the happy lovers, for the Lord of St. Agata had
succeeded in wresting the secret from the breast of
his mistress, if that may be called a secret which
Italian character had scarcely struggled to retain,
and he had crossed the room before even the more
tranquil look of the Donna Florinda rested on his

first fresh smiling days of April had come at
last—the days of sunshine and shower, of fitful breezes,
the breath of blossoms, and the newly awakened song of
birds. Spring was there in all the green and glory of her
youth, and the bosom of Kentucky heaved with the prolific
burden of the season. She had come, and her messengers
were every where, and every where busy. The birds bore
her gladsome tidings to
“Alley green,
Dingle or bushy dell of each wild wood,
And every bosky bourn from side to side—”
nor were the lately trodden and seared grasses of the forests
left unnoted; and the humbled flower of the wayside
sprang up at her summons. Like some loyal and devoted
people, gathered to hail the approach of a long exiled and
well-beloved sovereign, they crowded upon the path over
which she came, and yielded themselves with gladness at
her feet. The mingled songs and sounds of their rejoicing
might be heard, and far off murmurs of gratulation, rising
from the distant hollows, or coming faintly over the hill
tops, in accents not the less pleasing because they were the
less distinct. That lovely presence which makes every
land blossom and every living thing rejoice, met, in the
happy region in which we meet her now, a double tribute
of honour and rejoicing. The “dark and bloody ground,”
by which mournful epithets Kentucky was originally
known to the Anglo-American, was dark and bloody no
longer. The savage had disappeared from its green forests
for ever, and no longer profaned with slaughter, and his
unholy whoop of death, its broad and beautiful abodes. A
newer race had succeeded; and the wilderness, fulfilling
the better destinies of earth, had begun to blossom like the
rose. Conquest had fenced in its sterile borders, with a
wall of fearless men, and peace slept every where in security
among its green recesses. Stirring industry—the
perpetual conqueror—made the woods resound with the
echoes of his biting axe and ringing hammer. Smiling villages
rose in cheerful white, in place of the crumbling and
smoky cabins of the hunter. High and becoming purposes
of social life and thoughtful enterprise superseded that
eating and painful decay, which has terminated in the
annihilation of the native man; and which, among every
people, must always result from their refusal to exercise,
according to the decree of experience, no less than Providence,
their limbs and sinews in tasks of well directed
and continual labour. A great nation urging on a sleepless
war against sloth and feebleness, is one of the noblest of
human spectacles. This warfare was rapidly and hourly
changing the monotony and dreary aspects of rock and
forest. Under the creative hands of art, temples of magnificence
rose where the pines had fallen. Long and lovely
vistas were opened through the dark and hitherto impervious
thickets. The city sprang up beside the river, while
hamlets, filled with active hope and cheerful industry,
crowded upon the verdant hill-side, and clustered among
innumerable valleys. Grace began to seek out the homes
of toil, and taste supplied their decorations. A purer form
of religion hallowed the forest homes of the red man,
while expelling for ever the rude divinities of his worship;
and throughout the land, an advent of moral loveliness
seemed approaching, not less grateful to the affections and
the mind, than was the beauty of the infant April, to the
eye and the heart of the wanderer. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

as he thought, for Charlemont, Ned Hinkley returned to
Ellisland for his own horse. Here he did not suffer himself
to linger, though before he could succeed in taking
his departure, he was subjected to a very keen and searching
examination by the village publican and politician.
Having undergone this scrutiny with tolerable patience, if
not to the entire satisfaction of the examiner, he set forward
at a free canter, determined that his adversary should
not be compelled to wait. It was only while he rode that
he began to fancy the possibility of the other having taken
a different course; but as, upon reflection, he saw no
other plan, which he might have adopted—for lynching
for suspected offences was not yet a popular practice in and
about Charlemont,—he contented himself with the reflection
that he had done all that could have been done, and if
Alfred Stevens failed to keep his appointment, he, at least,
was one of the losers. He would necessarily lose the
chance of revenging an indignity, not to speak of the
equally serious loss of that enjoyment which a manly
fight usually gave to Ned Hinkley himself, and which, he
accordingly assumed, must be an equal gratification to all
other persons. When he arrived at Charlemont, he did
not make his arrival known, but repairing directly to the
lake among the hills, he hitched his horse, and prepared,
with what patience he could command, to await the coming
of the enemy. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Barclay of his wife, as she sat thoughtfully,
twirling her tea-cup. “You seem, of late, very
uninterested in my conversation. Has any
thing gone wrong with you to-day?” “Our plans are all arranged. Little did I
think, when we conversed together upon the
subject of my giving up housekeeping, I should
so soon carry into effect your plan. I call it
yours, for you first suggested to me the expedient
of ridding myself of domestic trials. Mr.
Barclay was at first wholly averse to hearing
a word about it; but, dear Fanny, I talked
hours, yes! days, until he yielded! Was he
not a kind husband? I never suggested to him
that you were prime mover, lest in future time,
if things should not turn out well, you might
be reproached. But, cousin, I am wholly unacquainted
with the process of `breaking up
housekeeping.' I thought we should never get
furnished when we moved here; and now I
feel as if we never should get things in order
for the sale, unless you come immediately and
help me. You will therefore stand by me for
at least three or four weeks; help me look out
a boarding-house, &c. Come in the four o'clock
omnibus this afternoon. Truly, “I was just at my writing-desk, dictating a
note to be sent to you, as your kind one arrived.
Do not think me, Cousin Hepsy, a
maniac, ranting in an untrue style, when I tell
you I had accepted an invitation to stand as
bridemaid to Madam Shortt the very day the
announcement of her marriage was made to
you! My partner (for I will tell the whole)
is Rev. Mr. Milnor, our former clergyman, now
of your city, who knew Colonel Bumblefoot
many years in England, and many since in
America; and, at his urgent request, has consented
to stand nearest him during the ceremony!
But your exclamations are not over
yet. I suppose, at no very distant day, your
cousin, Fanny Jones, may sign her name as
`Fanny Milnor!' You will please communicate
this to your good husband; and if I can
be of any service to you again in a chase for

morning dawned upon the mustering of the elements—vast
towering clouds rose mass upon
mass, stratum above stratum, till the whole horizon
was over-canopied. Then there was a stern
and breathless pause, as if the tempest-demon
were collecting his energies in silent resolution;
anon its own internal weight appeared to rend the
vaporous shroud asunder, and the big rain poured
down in torrents. At moments, indeed, the sunbeams
have struggled through the driving rack,
and darted down their pensiles of soft light, showing
even more blithely golden than their wont,
from the very contrast of the surrounding gloom.
Still—noon arrived, and there was no cessation of
the strife. At that hour, the blue lightning was
splitting the tortured clouds in twain, and the
thunder roaring and crashing close above our
heads. The melancholy wailing of the winds
among the sculptured pinnacles and ivyed turrets
of our Elizabethan mansion—the sobbing and
creaking of the immemorial oak-trees, their huge
branches wrestling with the gale—the dashing and
pattering of the heavy rain—and, deeper and more
melancholy than all, the gradually increasing moan
of the distant river, have conspired all day long to
cast a gloom alike upon the face of nature and the
heart of man. Yet now evening has brought back
peace, and calm delicious sunshine. “They have prevailed, and we are torn asunder
—when, oh when to meet? They dragged me from
your bleeding body—they bound me on a horse—
they bore me—Oh God! Oh God!—that I should
VOL. I.—Q
not dare to tell you whither!—No, my beloved, I dare
not—such is the sole condition on which the miserable
satisfaction of writing these few lines is granted.
They tell me that your wounds are slight—that you
will have regained your strength ere this shall reach
you; they tell me that you will again be in the
field of glory: but they tell me that I shall never
see you more—they tell me that death—your death,
Harry, shall follow on the slightest effort at my
rescue—and they tell me truly! You know not—
oh! may you never know—the boundless wickedness,
the wellnigh boundless power of my persecutor.
Never have I done aught, planned aught, for my
deliverance, but it has been revealed to him, and
blighted in the very bud, almost before I had conceived
it. And he—this fearful and malignant being—he
has sworn an oath, which I have never
heard him break, or bend from, that you shall not
have well put foot in stirrup to search out my prison,
ere the assassin's knife shall reach your heart! Oh,
my beloved, mine is a hard, a miserable duty—my
heart overflowing with deep unutterable love, I am
compelled to hide myself from him whom to see
were the very acme of imagined happiness. I am
compelled—I am compelled to pray you, as you
value—not life, for what noble spirit ever thinks of
life save as of a loan that must be one day repaid—
but as you value all that is more dear than life—all
that ennobles it, and makes it holy—as you value
your ancestral name—your own untarnished fame
—ay! and—I will write it, though it chokeme—as
you value me, I do beseech you to forget—Oh never!
never! think not I meant to say forget me!—
but to forego me—to be patient—to bear, as I now
bear, in silence—and in hope! Were there a
chance—a possibility, however slight or desperate,
of your success—I would write, Gird yourself up
for the task like a warrior for the battle-field—and
follow me to the very ends of the earth; but now I
know that so to do could not in aught aid our hopes
—aid them, did I say!—aid!—them!it would sever
them for ever by the pitiless steel—it would bury
them in the darkness of an untimely tomb. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

donned my clothes, and was buckling on my Milan
corslet, when old Martin entered my chamber,
fully equipped as a supernumerary subaltern of
my regiment. It was one of those customs of the
day, which has, since the time of which I write,
fallen completely into disuse, that every corps,
independent of its regular stands of national
and regimental colours, was distinguished by a
smaller standard, bearing the coat-armorial of its
commanding officer. This usage—which had
probably originated during the civil wars, wherein
each regiment was, for the most part, raised by its
colonel from among his own territorial and feudatory
dependants—I was particular to maintain in
my own instance the more scrupulously, as being
a stranger in a foreign land, and of course conscious
that, unless asserted by myself, my personal
dignity would not be much regarded by others.
It was partly with a view to this, as well as to
secure to myself a bold and trusty follower in the
field, that I had solicited for the foster-brother of
my father an appointment which certainly would
appear more suitable for a far younger man. But
no one, who had seen Martin Lydford on that
morning, would have deemed it possible that nearly
two-thirds of a century had passed over the head
of the erect and powerful veteran, who unfolded,
with a smile of daring exultation, the tattered and
time-honoured banner of my ancient house. He
wore a heavy antique helmet, with breast and back-pieces
of bright steel; immense jack-boots, and
high buff gauntlets reaching nearly to his elbows.
A long broadsword of English manufacture—
which, by-the-way, had done good service in its
time on many a stricken field—with a poniard of
formidable dimensions, completed his personal
equipment. But in addition to these he carried,
slung transversely across his shoulders, my petronel,
a choice piece of Spanish workmanship,
with an exceedingly small bore, and an indented,
or, as it is now termed, a rifled[1]
[1]The rifle, though a weapon of great rarity, was in use at
this period; as is evident from the piece with which the regent
Murray was shot, nearly a century earlier than the date of this
narrative. It is preserved in the gallery of the Duke of Hamilton,
and has a brass barrel slightly but distinctly rifled.
barrel. It was
not the fashion for officers to carry so cumbersome
a weapon, but I was, at the same time, unwilling
to lose a friend that had in several instances
served my turn, and perhaps saved my
life. The old man's eyes were full of tears as he
unfurled the colours, which had not floated for
many a day in action; but a sunny smile played on
his lips. “Harry”—it ran thus—“once more, my own,
own Harry! | | | Similar Items: | Find |

situated on the green banks of one of the
pleasant inlets that go meandering from the
Sound far into the verdant bosom of West-chester
County. It was one story high, with
a broad, steep, moss-covered roof, over which
an old oak spreads its wide branches, shielding
it the whole day from the summer sun.
An old `stoope' protected the door, and its
rude columns were thickly clad with the entwiaing
honey-suckle. Each end of the old
black farm-house was also nearly covered,
save where openings had been cut for the
windows, with woodbine and other creeping
plants. There was a neat vegetable garden
at one end of the dwelling and a small orchard
at the other, with the thatched roof of a
long, low barn, seen in the distance. Before
the door was a sort of lawn, on which the
sheep, geese, turkies, and an old domestic
cow, fed all day. This lawn was between the
house and the pleasant creek, where stood a
gate sheltered by a sycamore tree, through
which the cattle were driven to water. All
around was a scene of pleasant vale and wood-land,
with elms and oaks bending low over
the clear deep stream. On the opposite side
were seen several farm-houses with shady
walks along the banks between them, and a
little ways below, on an eminence, was visible
the white columns of a handsome country-seat,
the summer residence of a wealthy New
York merchant, who spent his winters only
in the city, which was twenty miles distant. What a demnition time you are staying out
South. What you can find to keep you there
this dem hot weather one hour after your
aunt's business is done for, unless some pretty
pearl, I'm dem'd if I can tell! Every thing
goes on just as ever. I had a glorious drive
last Friday on the avenue with Bob-tailed
Brown, harnessed single in my green buggy.
Tom Weston had a new team out, a dem'd
handsome thing altogether, and came behind
me like a streak of lightning. But I touched
Bob and left Tom half a mile in the rear as I
drew rein at the Harlem tavern. Dem'd good
that, wasn't it! I run over a sow and a litter
of nine pigs. Did'nt the young 'uns scamper
a few. I took off a goose's neck with my
off wheel as neat as you could cut it with a
knife. Tom swore Bob was the best bit o'
horse flesh in New York. Saw a pretty gearl
on the side-walk—looked like a rural—but I
was too anxious to beat Tom Weston's mare
to stop and ask her where she lived. Sunday
went over to Hoboken and saw lots o'
second quality class beauties, but couldn't do
any thing in my way, as they always have
some of those chaps with a bob coat, round
slick hat with a narrow crape round it, their
hair plaited down on each cheek, aad their
bosoms open, and cuffs and shirt-wristbands
turned back as if they were ready at any moment
for a fight. I can't endure such vulgar
people! though I don't mind a set-to, for I
have the true science you know, Ned. Havn't
been out of town yet, but I believe I shall go
to Saratoga next month. Saratogo is getting
to be low now that every shop-keeper that
can command three dollars can go there.—
These steamboats and railroads are getting to
be great levellers, Ned. I think I must go
to the White Sulphurs, they are the most exclusive.
Low people can't afford to get there
I saw your uncle last week in Broadway. He
would have passed me without seeing me, but
I stopped to ask him the name of the farmer
on the farm next to his above on the creek
where the rural lives. He told me it was
Woodhull. If you don't come on soon I
shall go down there and get up a little flirtation
with her. I think she's too pretty to be
suffered to grow there unnoticed like a sweet
flower under a hedge. Well, I have no more
to write. By the by, my friend M—ks has
let his beard grow all over his chin and it
looks dem'd fine. I think I shall follow his
example. He is going to be confirmed at St.
Thomas'. Religion is a nice thing for sick
and old people, but it spoils life for your true

and events of the American Revolution, we
are accustomed to view them as only affecting
ourselves as Americans, and as occurring
only within the boundaries of our own land;
so that a story of the `Revolution' to be laid
in England or France would at first view startle
and appear an incongruity of history. Yet
the one being our foe and the other our ally,
closely involve their interests as individuals
with ours and throw as profound a degree of
sympathy over the progress and issue of
events on the common theatre of war, as if
their own fields had been the scenes of contest.
The war of the Revolution produced
in the vales and homes of England and the
vine-clad hills of France, many a scene of
domestic trial and woe as touching as
was daily witnessed among the rude forest
homes of our own land. Brave warriors
parted from wives and sweethearts in
sunny France to join the issue with us for liberty;
many a gallant soldier bade last adieus
to a weeping maiden. ere, obedient to his
king, he buckled on his sword to sail the seas
to do battle against the rebels of the crown;
and many a hardy patriot of our fathers shouldered
his rifle, amid prayers and tears, to
take the field to oppose the invader. Yet, beneath
their armed breasts they wore human
hearts all—the foe, the ally, and the rebel!
The tears of the one fell as sweetly in the
eye of Pity as the other! The roar of every
battle-field shook France and England as
well as our own land, penetrating the remotest
hamlet, and making many an expecting
heart shrink. the pulses of the three great
nations were for the time bound together and
throbbed as one. The interest of each was
equally deep, where wives, mothers, and
maidens were the judges of that interest.
The war was one—the issue one to theme!
And many is the tale still heard beneath the
vintnor's porch in la belle France, whose theme
is the war of our Revolution, and many is the
sad memory of that contest yet preserved on
the gossip bench of many a village ale-house
in merry England. How many were the
lives at that day, began in Europe that terminated
in America. If every man's life,
fairly written, be a romance out-doing fiction,
how many thousands of truthful stories in
that war opened in England or France to
close their scenes here—perhaps in blood. Sir—You are commanded by the Minister
of War, to give passage to America, to M. St
Clair Lorraine, a Colonel, and bearer of private
despatches to the Marquis de la Fayette. Dearest Madeline—I find the scheme I
suggested when I was fastening on you your
bracelet this afternoon, wholly impracticable
for many reasons. I have determided to take
passage in the same ship with you as M. St.
Clair Lorraine, bearer of despatches, and
meet my ship in America, where it is to join
lord Howe. I have written for, and shall obtain
leave, and in the mean time anticipate it.
Betray no surprise or recognition on meeting
me in the morning at table. I look forward
to a happy passage across the Atlantic in your
sweet society. You will think I am an audaucious
intriguer; but what will not love undertake
for its object? | | | Similar Items: | Find |

rendered by a heavy and gloomy mist
that filled the atmosphere and made it
murky twilight long before the sun went
down. It had just ended, in blasts and
pelting rain, when a Thames boatman,
chilled and wet by exposure, and with
a pair of oars upon his shoulder, entered
the door of his humble abode by the
river side. `I have just learned that you are desirous
of communicating with the fleet
under Admiral Nelson, and are looking
for a fleet sailing vessel. I offer you
mine, and my services at any time after
twelve o'clock to-night. My schooner's
sailing qualities I need not speak of as
they are doubtless well-known to your
lordship, for some of his Majesty's cruisers
have of late tested them. I offer
your lordship my services in good faith,
and will perform my errand with punctuality
and honesty. Though a smuggler
by profession, I am an Englishman at
heart. If your lordship will forget that
I am the former, I will only remember
that I am the latter. I pledge myself to
reach Lord Nelson within eight and forty
hours after I take the despatches on board
if the present wind holds. `Well, you rogue, you are wanted
again. You must be in London with
your schooner within five days without
fail. Come up under revenue colors in
the day time until within ten miles of
London, and then keep on after dark
and anchor off a pier one mile and a
half below the Tower. You will know
the place by two large oaks that grow at
the head of the pier and by a red light
which you will see suspended in the
branches of one of the oaks. You will
answer this light by another in your
rigging. Your motions must be secret
and cautious. When you reach the
place, which you must try to do at least
two hours after dark (there will be a
six days' moon), drop your anchor short
and trail up, not furl. Lay there till
you see a boat put off to you. It will
hail you and ask the news from Nelson.
This boat you will let come on board,
when you will give yourself up to the
services and interests of those who shall
visit you. You will be well paid, and
all you are desired to do in return is to
be faithful and secret.' `Sir,—The bearer of this is Captain
Bonfield. He takes out as passengers, a
young woman and child. The female is
deaf and dumb. You are hereby desired
to receive them into, your house, and
take care of them, maintaing and providing
for them as for members of your
own household. She is to pass for your
sister, and the child as your niece. For
their expenses you will draw two hundred
and fifty pounds a year in addition
to your present allowance, and from the
same source. On no account must the
woman or child be permitted to leave the
island. For their safe detention you will
be answerable. You will be watched.
Be faithful, therefore, to those who have
it in their power to injure you. Ask no
questions. Preserve silence, and be discreet,
and your conduct will meet with
recompense. The bearer after leaving
them safely in your hands, is empowered
by me to receive four thousand pounds;
for which an order is enclosed on —
which you will endorse and present for
payment. The child's name is Virginia,
to which you may add your own family
name; as it will henceforward grow up
and be regarded as one of your own
family. As soon as possible you may
forget that she has ever been otherwise.
The woman who is deaf and dumb you
will treat with kindness and respect, and
provide for all her wants, seeing that she
lacks nothing for her comfort. Upon the
exact and faithful performance of all
these requisitions will depend your own
future interests. `This night I have landed with an
armed party and invested the cottage of
Robert Oakford, where the two passengers
you entrusted to me six years ago
are placed under his protection. I have,
by force of arms, taken the two out of
his possession, and am about to convey
them on board my vessel and sail with
them from the island. Believe me that
your agents, Robert Oakford and sister,
have done all that they were able to prevent
me from taking them away; but as
I was determined at all risks to get them
both into my possession, they have had
no other alternative but submission. Sir,—The bearer of this has informed
me, in an accidental manner, of his
obligations to you, and the circumstances
under which they were entered into. I
need not say I am surprised at hearing
the facts. They are characteristic of
yourself. You will, upon reading this,
give him a receipt in full for all and whatsoever
claim upon him or the father you
may hold; the incarceration and long illness
consequent thereupon having in
equity fully cancelled your debt. `I have but a few hours to live. I
must see you before I die. Let nothing
prevent your hastening to me without a
moment's delay. `I am married. The noble and
amiable Flora is mine. Her relatives in
England have sent for her, and we leave
in the vessel which is anchored near
the gardens. On board this vessel I was
united to Flora at eight o'clock this
morning. I go to England with my dear
wife to gratify her; for you must know
she is no relative of the old gardener, but
is an orphan, who was placed under his
charge in a mysterious way with money
in plenty for him to educate her. This
he has done. Tbe captain of the vessel
says that her relatives have been discovered
in England, and that they have sent
him express for her. He has just told me
that they are certainly noble. But this
assurance does not make me think more
of Flora. I have loved her in her humility.
I could love her no more were she
a princess. No title of nobility could
make her nobler than she is in my eyes.
But as the captain is not sure even of the
name of her relatives, who seem to have
kept him in the same kind of mystery
which from childhood has hung about
Flora, it may be that they are of humble
degree. But should I find that they were
of the peasantry, and dwelt in earthen
hovels, I should think no less of Flora.
To me she would always be Flora. I
shall probably return after an absence of
three months. Present my regards to my
father. Still and ever, whatever you
may be to me, Margaret, I have just arrived in London with
Flora. I wait your orders. `I write to say that you need not
take the trouble to visit Hawthorn Lodge,
for we have resolved to disown our relationship
with one who has shown himself
unworthy to belong to the best society.
As for your wife, I trust that you
will see that she never presumes to speak
to me, should I be so unfortunate as to
meet her in the street. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

make a few observations at the outset, by way
of bespeaking a right understanding. The volumes
which I have already published have met
with a reception far beyond my most sanguine
expectations. I would willingly attribute this to
their intrinsic merits; but, in spite of the vanity
of authorship, I cannot but be sensible that
their success has, in a great measure, been
owing to a less flattering cause. It has been a
matter of marvel, at least to the European part
of my readers, that a man from the wilds of
America should express himself in tolerable
English. I was looked upon as something new
and strange in literature; a kind of demi-savage,
with a feather in his hand instead of on his head,
and there was a curiosity to hear what such a
being had to say about civilized society. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Squire in his perambulations about his estate,
in which he is often attended by a kind of cabinet
council. His prime minister, the steward, is a
very worthy and honest old man, and one of those
veteran retainers that assume a right of way;
that is to say, a right to have his own way, from
having lived time out of mind on the place. He
loves the estate even better than he does the
Squire, and thwarts the latter sadly in many of
his projects of improvement and alteration. Indeed,
the old man is a little apt to oppose every
plan that does not originate with himself, and
will hold long arguments about it, over a stile,
or on a rise of ground, until the Squire, who has
a high opinion of his ability and integrity, is fain
to give up the point. Such concession immediately
mollifies the old steward; and it often happens,
that after walking a field or two in silence
with his hands behind his back, chewing the cud
of reflection, he will suddenly observe, that “he
has been turning the matter over in his mind,
and, upon the whole, he thinks he will take his
honour's advice.” | | | Similar Items: | Find |

I had arrived one evening at the Pomme d' Or,
the principal inn of a small Flemish village. It was after
the hour of the table d'hote, so that I was obliged to make
a solitary supper from the reliques of its ampler board.
The weather was chilly; I was seated alone in one end
of a great gloomy dining-room, and my repast being over,
I had the prospect before me of a long dull evening, without
any visible means of enlivening it. I summoned
mine host, and requested something to read; he brought
me the whole literary stock of his household, a Dutch
family-bible, an almanack in the same language, and a
number of old Paris newspapers. As I sat dozing over
one of the latter, reading old news and stale criticisms,
my ear was now and then struck with bursts of laughter
which seemed to proceed from the kitchen. Every one
that has travelled on the continent must know how favourite
a resort the kitchen of a country inn is to the
middle and inferior order of travellers; particularly in
that equivocal kind of weather, when a fire becomes agreeable
towards evening. I threw aside the newspaper, and
explored my way to the kitchen, to take a peep at the
group that appeared to be so merry. It was composed
partly of travellers who had arrived some hours before in
a diligence, and partly of the usual attendants and hangers-on
of inns. They were seated round a great burnished
stove, that might have been mistaken for an altar, at
which they were worshipping. It was covered with
various kitchen vessels of resplendent brightness; among
which steamed and hissed a huge copper tea-kettle. A
large lamp threw a strong mass of light upon the group
bringing out many odd features in strong relief. Its
yellow rays partially illumined the spacious kitchen, dying
duskily away into remote corners; except where they
settled into mellow radiance on the broad side of a flitch of
bacon, or were reflected back from well-scoured utensils,
that gleamed from the midst of obscurity. A strapping
Flemish lass, with long golden pendants in her ears, and a
necklace with a golden heart suspended to it, was the presiding
priestess of the temple. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

port. The Shot-Tower is a strange old fellow, to be sure! 'Spite
of that incessant buzzing in his head, he holds himself as high
and grandly, as though he hadn't the trouble of making shot for
the six-and-twenty United States. He never dozes or nods, even
in the summer noon; nor does he fall asleep in the most crickety
nights, but winks, with that iron top of his, at all the stars, as they
come up, one by one; and outwatches them all. There he is,
gaunt and clean, as a ghost in a new shroud, every day in the
year. Build as you may, old Gotham! Hammer and ding and
trowel on all sides of him, if you choose,—you cannot stir him an
inch, nor sully the whiteness in which he sees himself clothed, in
that pure glass of his of Kipp's Bay! If you have seen him once,
you know him always. A sturdy Shot-Tower to be sure!—and
go where you will, you carry him with you. He is the Ghost of
New York, gone into the suburbs to meditate on the wickedness
of mankind, and haunt the Big City, in many a dream of war, and
gun-shot wounds, and pattering carnage, when he falls asleep. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

could the popular sense be persuaded to regard that
period of exciting circumstance in past history, called
the era of romance, in any other light than that of a
pleasant dream about to be forgotten, your charms
might once again bring into exercise, not merely the
lay of the minstrel, but the valour of the knight. Instead
of the goosequill, spear and sword might, with
sufficient reason, be lifted in your service. Alas! however,
for the time—it brings forth no such offering. As
an especial rebuke to such glorious errantries as made
the middle ages the prime period of romantic adventure;
state prisons and penitentiaries frown upon us
from every quarter—instead of the warlike and stirring
blasts of the bugle, calling the watchful warder to the
turret, and arousing the sleeping porter to the approach
of the visiter, the tintinnabulary house-bell presents
itself conveniently at the portals, and the liveried servitor
opens the door at the first friendly summons. Romance
knows none of these comforts, and well may
adventure sigh after a period which left something for
achievement to do, in scaling walls and mounting windows.
Had we, my lady, been born in such a period,
doubt not that I should have done something worthy to
be named along with the daring doings of the time.
Doubt not that lance had been lifted, and bugle wound,
and battle done gallantly, in your behalf and for your
love. As the times are, however, this may not be the
case; and all that chivalry may now proffer to his ladylove,
is some little tribute of romance like this,—its
relic and remembrance—comprised in a tiny volume,
quite unworthy of your genius, but all that I can yield
from mine. Pardon me, then, dear lady, that these
pages—many of which have been already uttered in
your ears—have received a name, which, though not
fairly identified with yourself or yours, must nevertheless,
and necessarily, refer to you for that countenance and
favour, which is more than popular applause to me.
May they not prove altogether unworthy your acceptance,
nor seem to be altogether ungracious in your
sight. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

call by the Rector a meeting of the Visitors was held at the
University of Virginia at which were present the following
Visitors to wit: Joseph C. Cabell, Rector, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph, Andrew Stevenson, and R. M.T. Hunter. The
session continued thro Friday the 31st October & part of Saturday
the first of November- After a thorough investigation
of the matters which occasioned their convocation the following
proceedings were had by the Board. The very high trust confided to the Visitors of the University
by the people of the state, & the very great importance
of reestablishing public confidence in the institution, induce
me, under existing circumstances to request the members
of the Board to give their attendance at the University on
Thursday the 30th Inst: My object is to invite an immediate
& more careful investigation by the Board itself of the administration
of the office of Proctor for some time past, which
I think due not only to the best interests of the Institution
but to the officer concerned. I am led to this conclusion
by communications which I have received from the gentleman
employed to settle the proctor's accounts, & from others since
the last meeting of the Visitors which will be communicated
to the Visitors when they assemble. I trust that the meeting
will be full and that it will eventuate in a manner satisfactory
to the Board & to the officer concerned. Permit me
to remark that as such may be the result it is advisable not
to give publicity to the cause of the meeting until it shall
have taken place. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

called for Wednesday the 17th October 1849 did not assemble
till Thursday the 18th when Joseph C. Cabell, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph and Andrew Stevenson appeared and a Board
was organized: In obedience to a resolution of the Board of Visitors
of the University of Va. I have examined the Books of Alex:
Garrett, Bursar, from the 31st May 1848 to the 1st June 1849,
and find all his charges supported by vouchers, except 25
cents paid for a blank book. I find two small errors in his
addition amounting to 5 cents. The discrepancy between his
books and those of the Proctor on the 1st June 1849, occurred
by his not having paid and charged a warrant drawn by the
Proctor on the 14th May in fav. of P.S. Duval for $111. This
warrant he charges on the 2d June, after his Books were balanced.
When this entry is brought into his account, his books will
shew a balance on hand less than the balance shewn by the
Proctor's books of $6.78 after the Proctor gives him credit
by the 25 cents paid for the blank book. The discrepancy of
$6.78, I am told happened some years past and it still exists
as shewn by the statement on this sheet. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and James L. Carr. who constituting a quorum, were called
to order by the Rector, On motion of Mr Joynes it was After carefully considering the Preamble & Resolution
of the Board adopted in regard to my relations to the University
in the matter of Compensation, I am obliged to say that
they have caused me very great pain, & have left me in
serious doubt as to the purposes of the Board, so far as
they may be gathered from the Preamble & Resolution themselves.
They seem to me to be at least strongly suggestive
of a future too uncertain to be relied on, while the preamble
places me in the most unenviable aspect before the
Board, as coming voluntarily before them to assert rights,
on my part, & deny rights on theirs, & in a way that disconnected
from the circumstances & qualifications does hardly
do me justice. Having these views & feeling, I have considered
it right, & a duty to myself respectfully to request
the Board to say if they should think fit whether it is their
purpose to give me warning of the insecurity of the provision
made for any compensation, & of the revocation of the arrangement
with me to the effect of denying the instance of
any fair right on my part to expect it to continue substantially
in existence, or whether I may understand that apart
from all technical interpretations, I may look for the
continuance of the arrangement so long as the policy of the
University, or the Conduct of the Professor shall not demand
a change. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Rector, J. R. Edmunds, J. B. Baldwin, M.R.H. Garnett, Wm.
J. Robertson and James Neeson, Wm. J. Joynes, Visitors when
the following proceedings were had. I feel it to be due to myself, and to you, my
associates in the Board of Visitors, to lay before you, at
this my earliest opportunity, the accompanying correspondence
which has recently taken place between Professor Harrison
and myself. I present copies only, holding the originals,
so far as in my possession, subject to the call of the Board.
It will be seen that the subject of this correspondence is
a letter written by Professor Harrison to Alexander Rives Esqr.
Senator from Albemarle County, in the Virginia Legislature. Having understood that a letter written
by me to Alex Rives Esqr and designed to be private, had
given offence to some members of the Board of Visitors, I
wrote to a friend a note, which he was authorized and directed
to show to Mr Edmunds, then in Richmond. The object of that
note, as set forth in the note itself, was to do what I considered
only right and just to do, by disclaiming any purpose
to give by the letter referred to any offence to any
member of the Board of Visitors or in any way to impugn the
motives which may have prompted their action. Regretting
as I do, that any expression should have been used by me
that was susceptible of such construction. I avail myself
of the opportunity afforded by your request to repeat to
you directly what I said to him through a friend and to
authorize you to make such use of it as may be consistent
with the only purpose and end of the explanation now given. A special meeting of the Board of Visitors of the

June 25th 1872 Your Committee on Grounds & Buildings beg leave to report
that they have made such an inspection as seemed to them necessary
to the discharge of the duties, and regret to say that
they have found much delapidation in the buildings and great
disfigurement in the grounds. The buildings are out of repair
in various particulars, but more especially in the roofing
of the terrace, and the "Dawson Row". The grounds are checkered
with paths that are unsightly & entirely unnecessary. Your
Committee are aware that the repairs desirable would require
an expenditure beyond the revenue of the Institution at present
but they recommend that provision be made for putting in order
the roofs referred to, as the damage already serious is becoming
worse every day and further delay in the matter will
involve heavier cost. They are also apprised of the difficulty
of preventing the short cuts across the ground but they nevertheless
are of the opinion that the evil can be corrected by
active attention and they therefore recommend that the Proctor
be required to put in operation every expedient practicable
to this end. The Committee on the Library respectfully report that
upon inspection they found the Library in good condition
there are many suggestions that might be made with a view
to its improvements- such as the procurement of glass doors
for many of the cases for the protection of the books, and others,
but the financial embarrassment of the University is such as
to render the requisite appropriations therefore inexpedient
at this time. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournement last night. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

University of Virginia held at their office at the University
of Virginia on the 28th day of June 1875. University of Va. The Committee on Finance offer the following report. The undersigned as Committee on the Library respectfully
reports that he has made a careful inspection of the Library-assisted
by Mr. Wertenbaker, and he found its condition all
that could be desired under the circumstances. The Management
and arrangement of this department reflects the highest credit
on the venerable and efficient Librarian. Your Committee respectfully report that in the performance
of their duties they have made such an inspection of the grounds
& public buildings as their opportunities have made practicable
and they are gratified to be able to state that both are in as
good condition as could be expected or required under the circumstances.
The Grounds exhibit evidence of careful attention
and the Buildings show that every effort within the means of
the Proctor has been made to preserve them, and to prevent as
far as possible the decay inevitable from the want of the necessary
repairs. In this connection Your Committee will inform
the Board that they have called upon the Proctor to furnish
them an estimate of the amount necessary to put the Buildings
& Grounds in perfect order with a view to such action by the
Board as will secure this sum, and they respectfully suggest
that the General Assembly should be called for an appropriation
for this purpose. Your Committee are aware of the consequences
involved in any appearance of the University before the Legislature
as an applicant for assistance, but they can but think
that this body would recognize the necessity for preserving
from loss the investment which the state has made here, and
would accordingly provide the requisite funds. Your Committee
therefore recommends that the executive Committee should be
authorized to apply to the Legislature for an appropriation
for this purpose, should they upon inquiry deem it judicious
to do so. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present
the same members as on yesterday with the exception of Mr.
Carrington, absent. Your Committee on Apparatus respectfully report, that the
inventories required by law from Professors Mallet and Smith
have been returned and no appropriations asked for. Allow me through your body to present to the
University the polygraph used by Mr. Jefferson for the last
twenty years of his life. In reserving for publication many
thousand of these letters, they were found accurate facsimiles
of his hand writing: no error except where the record pen was
caught by some irregularity in the paper. When extricating itself
with a spring it missed a few letters leaving space for
them. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

changes in the position of this school with respect to the
degrees which would greatly benefit the school, if adopted
by your Hon. body. I feel confident, that under such circumstances
all objections would be satisfactorily removed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

June last. "You will have seen from my letter addressed to you and
the Board on July 2d how gratefully I appreciate the considerate
courtesy with which you have been pleased to treat me
at your last meeting. A trifling accident, however, has
since led me to ask an additional favor at your hands, which
I am sure your keen sense of justice will not deny me. It is
this: In the first copy of the resolutions concerning me,
the Secretary had said. `Your testimonials have removed'.
Subsequently a change was made, so as to make the line read:
`have largely removed,' implying that the impression of inefficiency
on your minds was to a certain degree, still resting
there. This is very grievous to me. I had surely thought
that the testimonials I had laid before you would entirely
remove any such impression. As this has unfortunately not
been done, I think you will not blame me if I most respectfully
request to be informed of the charges brought against
me, and of the persons by whom they are brought forward.
`Audiatur et altera pars' is a rule which seems to apply to
this case also. I have so far abstained from asking any questions,
although this reduced me to act in the dark, and defend
myself against unknown adversaries. But now, I am naturally,
and I hope excusably, anxious to remove those painful impressions
entirely, and to prove myself not unworthy in any way
or degree of the generosity of the Board. I have the honor

in annual session this 12th day of June 1893. Knowing as you do, my physical condition you
will not be surprised at the contents of this letter. My
work during the session of the University, has hitherto embraced
a daily lecture of an hour and a half besides multiform
incidental engagements. My son's assistance has been
very valuable to me, and to the students, but without much
lightening my labors. Now however, the state of my health
will oblige me to devolve on him a more important part of
the instruction in the school of Common and Statute Law,
than thus far has falled to his share, and I desire to submit
to the Board of Visitors, through you, the propriety of
enlarging his compensation to the sum I believe originally
proposed for my assistant, namely $1500. Your Architects beg, 1st To acknowledge their error in
the assumption that aught but your appreciation of their position
could lead to their relief. Having learned that you desire to know whether in
my opinion, Mr Jas H. Gilmore, Jr. has manifested such an acquaintance
with the law as to warrant me in signing his diploma
should the Board signify a willingness to admit him to the degree,
I would answer unhesitatingly yes. Mr Gilmore's daily
recitations were more than usually satisfactory, as were also
his intermediate examinations, averaging above 5/6 the And his
answers to the questions propounded for the degree (which were
given privately, but under due safeguard), amounted also, to
more than 5/6 ths. Gentlemen, The Committee on Finance respectfully reports
that the Proctor's annual Report and the settlement made by
the Commissioner of of Accounts show a balance in the hands of

This sum does not include $1275.00 which is a part of the appropriation
made to the Library last year and which was not expended.
This latter sum stands on the Proctor's books to the credit
of the Library fund. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

son, Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., we, the Committee appointed by the
Board of Visitors to consider and report upon all matters pertaining
to the School of Law in the University, hesitate to
recommend him for re-election as your assistant for the ensuing
session. We are informed, however, that your son, Mr. Raleigh
C. Minor, is in vigorous health, and that he is now assisting
you in your summer school. We desire to recommend him to the
Board as your assistant for the ensuing session at a salary of
Fifteen Hundred Dollars. We trust you will appreciate our position

high value upon the work done by Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., in
your classes so long as his health continued good. We greatly
regret to learn of his pain for some months past, and we
trust that he may speedily be restored to perfect health.
We desire to ask through you whether Mr. Raleigh C. Minor
will accept the position of assistant in your school, and
as we are considering the propriety of establishing a new
chair in the School of Law, we will deem it a favor if you
will kindly suggest the subjects to be assigned to the new
chair if established. We hand you, herewith, an outline of
a scheme of reorganization of the School of Law that we are
considering, and we would be glad to have you give your views
of the same. With sentiments of high esteem, we are We have maturely considered your views in relation
to the School of Law in the University, and have given them the
weight that we feel your opinions on such a subject are entitled
to. We have also consulted medical experts as to the
prospects of the ability of Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., to give
you such assistance during the ensuing session as we deem it
necessary for you to have, and we are strongly advised that
there is but little probability of his being able to do so. Yours of this date is received, and whilst I desire
to make my cordial acknowledgments for the kindly spirit manifested
towards myself, as well as towards my son John, I am
obliged to confess that it occasioned me not a little concern
in respect to what I conceive to be the interests of the University,
as affected by the creation of another professorship.
A multiplication of teachers is frequently, if not generally,
a curtailment of instruction. I trust it will not be so here. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

with the University of Virginia, the Board of Visitors had no
further power to adopt any measure for his financial relief,

money, except for such purposes as are prescribed by

Rector and in doing so they put upon record that no further
evidence has been adduced or offered in refutation of the
charges made against Profr Schele De Vere and the Visitors

action in accepting the resignation of said Profr Schele De
Vere. Your Committee to whom was referred the matter

Present: The papers accompanying the foregoing report as a part

transactions of the University, for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1897. As preface, permit me to say, that my
lamented predecessor and myself were close friends and comrades
in arms during the war. Both on the field and in Camp
Green Peyton was always, and everywhere a brave and efficient
soldier. Wherever placed in life, he proved himself a man of
intellect, attainments, energy and force of character. His
ill health for many months before his death, together with the
increased work incident to the receipt and disbursement of a
large restoration fund, caused his accounts to be left in an
unfinished condition. Thoroughly conversant with the peculiar
character of the University accounts, by a service as Proctor
for twenty seven years, he found no need to record many facts
which were safely stored in his own mind, but not immediately
accessible to a new incumbent. So, too with a memory singularly
tenacious, he left no correspondence for he felt the
need of none His cash-book and ledger were his letter-press
and letter-file. Resolved: That in view of the unusually onerous duties
imposed upon the Secretary of the Board since the destruction
of the University Buildings by fire in the fall of 1895, the
said Secretary be paid the sum of $150. in addition to his
regular salary. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment

Gentlemen: In view of the contemplated dedication of the
new buildings in June next it is absolutely imperative that
the Board should decide now what sum of money it can appropriate
for this celebration. This sum should be appropriated
and made available at once, as the Joint Committee on celebrations
can do nothing until they know exactly what sum is at
hand. The celebration is but a part of the necessary advertising
of the University and in view of all the circumstances
should be as liberally provided for as possible. I have just received a letter from my brother, stating
that you have a meeting of the Committee and Board of Visitors
on March 17th. The final certificate has been sent, and
you also have our bill in full. In reply to your request for figures for the connecting
arcades on the University of Virginia, will say that we will
construct the two arcades connecting the Academical with the
Mechanical and with the Physical buildings, for the sum of
$1250.00 each. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

real estate owned by the trustees under Mr Austin's will was

square feet, with restrictions against building on a part of
it, thus rendering the lot really unavailable. We have now
received an offer of $800.00 for this piece of land, which we
consider it would be advantageous for the estate to accept.

for leave to sell the remainder of the estate. If this meets
with your approval will you kindly sign the assent to the enclosed

Warren, adding somewhat to the value of some of the securities.

under Mr Warren's estimate, showing a gross market value of
$262,945. In this is not included the $80,000. invested in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Co. About this wrote Mr
Warren, asking his opinion of its value, but have no reply.
I should say from the statement furnished in Mr Warren's
letter that the real estate is worth about $50,000., and assuming
that the $80,000. in the Insurance Co. is worth its
face, the total present value of the Estate is $392,945. I am very sorry that the receipt of your letter
just after I had begun my vacation has prevented an earlier
reply to your inquiries relative to the investments in the
Arthur W. Austin Estate. Replying to your favor of the 30th ult., I
would say that in my opinion the $80,000.00 investment in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Ins. Co. is undoubtedly good, and
that the University will receive the same when the same becomes
payable by its terms. We give below quotations on the securities
which we were unable to furnish in our last letter, viz= | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Knickerbocker, that there was no region more rich in themes
for the writer of historic novels, heroic melodramas, and
rough-shod epics, than the ancient province of the New
Netherlands, and its quondam capital, at the Manhattoes.
“We live,” he used to say, “in the midst of history, mystery,
and romance; he who would find these elements, however,
must not seek them among the modern improvements and
monied people of the monied metropolis; he must dig for
them, as for Kidd the pirate's treasures, in out of the way
places, and among the ruins of the past.” Never did sage
speak more truly. Poetry and romance received a fatal blow
at the overthrow of the ancient Dutch dynasty, and have ever
since been gradually withering under the growing domination
of the Yankees. They abandoned our hearths when the old
Dutch tiles were superseded by marble chimney pieces; when
brass andirons made way for polished grates, and the crackling
and blazing fire of nut wood gave place to the smoke and
stench of Liverpool coal; and on the downfall of the last
crow-step gables, their requiem was tolled from the tower of
the Dutch Church in Nassau street, by the old bell that came
from Holland. But poetry and romance still lurk unseen
among us, or seen only by the enlightened few who are able
to contemplate the common-place scenes and objects of the
metropolis, through the medium of tradition, and clothed with
the associations of foregone ages. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

was in the utmost commotion. Court-day
was at hand, and nothing was to be heard but the
hum of preparation for that most important of all
days in the history of a country village—that of
general muster alone excepted. Strange faces and
strange dresses began to show themselves in the
main street; lawyers were entering from all quarters—“saddlebag”
and “sulky” lawyers—men who
cumber themselves with no weight of law, unless it
can be contained in moderately-sized heads, or valise,
or saddle-bag, of equally moderate dimensions.
Prowling sheriff's officers began to show their hands
again, after a ten or twenty days' absence in the surrounding
country, where they had gone to the great
annoyance of simple farmers, who contract large
debts to the shop-keeper on the strength of crops yet
to be planted, which are thus wasted on changeable
silks for the spouse, and whistle-handled whips for
“Young Hopeful” the only son and heir to possession,
which, in no long time will be heard best of
under the auctioneer's hammer. The population of
the village was increasing rapidly; and what with the
sharp militia colonel, in his new box coat, squab
white hat, trim collar and high-heeled boots, seeking
to find favour in the regiment against the next election
for supplying the brigadier's vacancy; the
swaggering planter to whom certain disquieting hints
of foreclosure have been given, which he can evade
no longer, and which he must settle as he may; the
slashing overseer, prime for cockfight or quarterrace,
and not unwilling to try his own prowess upon
his neighbour, should occasion serve and all other
sports fail; the pleading and impleaded, prosecutor
and prosecuted, witnesses and victims,—Raymond
never promised more than at present to swell beyond
all seasonable boundaries, and make a noise in
the little world round it. Court-day is a day to remember
in the West, either for the parts witnessed
or the parts taken in the various performances; and
whether the party be the loser of an eye or ear, or
has merely helped another to the loss of both, the
case is still pretty much the same; the event is not
usually forgotten. The inference was fair that there
would be a great deal of this sort of prime brutality
performed at the present time. Among the crowd
might be seen certain men who had already distinguished
themselves after this manner, and who strutted
and swaggered from pillar to post, as if conscious
that the eyes of many were upon them, either in scorn
or admiration. Notoriety is a sort of fame which
the vulgar mind essentially enjoys beyond any other;
and we are continually reminded, while in the crowd,
of the fellow in the play, who says he “loves to be
contemptible.” Some of these creatures had lost an
eye, some an ear, others had their faces scarred
with the strokes of knives; and a close inspection of
others might have shown certain tokens about their
necks, which testified to bloody ground fights, in
which their gullets formed an acquaintance with the
enemy's teeth, not over-well calculated to make
them desire new terms of familiarity. Perhaps, in
most cases, these wretches had only been saved
from just punishment by the humane intervention of
the spectators—a humanity that is too often warmed
into volition, only when the proprietor grows sated
with the sport. At one moment the main street in
Raymond was absolutely choked by the press of
conflicting vehicles. Judge Bunkell's sulky hitched
wheels with the carriage of Col. Fishhawk, and
squire Dickens' bran new barouche, brought up from
Orleans only a week before, was “staved all to
flinders”—so said our landlady—“agin the corner
of Joe Richards' stable.” The 'squire himself narrowly
escaped the very last injury in the power of a
fourfooted beast to inflict, that is disposed to use his
hoofs heartily—and, bating an abrasion of the left
nostril, which diminished the size, if it did not, as
was the opinion of many, impair the beauty of the
member, Dickens had good reason to congratulate
himself at getting off with so little personal damage.
These, however, were not the only mishaps on this
occasion. There were other stories of broken heads,
maims and injuries, but whether they grew out of
the unavoidable concussion of a large crowd in a
small place, or from a great natural tendency to broken
heads on the part of the owners, it scarcely falls
within our present purpose to inquire. A jostle in a
roomy region like the west, is any thing but a jostle
in the streets of New York. There you may tilt
the wayfarer into the gutter, and the laugh is
against the loser, it being a sufficient apology for
taking such a liberty with your neighbour's person,
that “business is business, and must be attended to.”
Every man must take care of himself and learn to
push with the rest, where all are in a hurry. But
he brooks the stab who jostles his neighbour where
there is no such excuse; and the stab is certain
where he presumes so far with his neighbour's wife,
or his wife's daughter, or his sister. There's no
pleading that the city rule is to “take the right hand”
—he will let you know that the proper rule is to give
way to the weak and feeble—to women, to age, to
infancy. This is the manly rule among the strong,
and a violation of it brings due punishment in the
west. Jostling there is a dangerous experiment, and
for this very reason, it is frequently practised by
those who love a row and fear no danger. It is one
of the thousand modes resorted to for compelling
the fight of fun—the conflict which the rowdy seeks
from the mere love of tumult, and in the excess of
overheated blood. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

maiden, Rachel Morrison, reached her apartments.
The family, guests and all, had retired to their
several chambers for the night; and in the silent review
which she made of the scene she had just witnessed,
a most annoying conviction rose in her
mind of the probable danger awaiting the young traveller,
Vernon, who, she knew, had appointed to resume
his journey on the morrow. She recollected
the promise of one of the robbers (Saxon) to join
him on the road; and this promise she naturally construed
into a resolution to assail him. To warn him
of his danger was her first impulse, but how was
this to be done? It was impossible that she should
seek him then; it was scarcely proper, indeed, that
she should seek him at any time, and to communicate
her warning to Walter Rawlins—the most easy
and natural mode—was to prompt his inquiries into
other particulars of her knowledge, which she was
not yet prepared to unfold. She dreaded the prying
mind of her lover, and doubted her own strength to
refuse him that knowledge which was effectually to
blast and destroy the son of her protector. The conflict
in her mind kept her wakeful, and at the dawn
of day she was dressed, and anxiously on the watch
for that stir in the household which might denote the
preparations of the traveller. To her great joy she
heard footsteps in the adjoining passage, which she
knew to be those of Rawlins. She went forth and
joined him. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Office, In pursuance of our conversation, I have the honor to
request that I be granted a leave of absence from the University
of Virginia for the remainder of the current session, so
that I may spend this period in Europe. I would not make this
request if I believed that my absence would be detrimental to
the University of Virginia. I have been fortunate in procuring
the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope, of the University
of South Carolina, to fill my chair during my absence. Dr.
Wauchope is a Virginian, a graduate of Washington and Lee
University, and a Doctor of Philosophy of Johns Hopkins
University, and aprofessor of most successful experience. He
is a man of culture and refinement, an excellent writer,
and I am sure will prove an inspiration to the classes I
leave in his charge. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of
the 13th, inst., requesting a leave of absence from the University
for the remainder of the present session, and stating
that you have secured the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope
to serve in your stead. I am enclosing a correspondence between
Dr. Kent and myself which explains itself. I am sending the
correspondence to you with the request that you signify your
approval or disapproval of the request contained in Dr. Kent's
letter and approved by me, in order that I may inform Dr. Kent
and officially inform Dr. Wauchope. There is no question of
money involved in the transaction,- - that is to say, Dr.
Kent's salary will go on, and he will compensate Dr. Wauchope
for his services out of his (Dr. Kent's) salary, the University
budget arrangement remaining undisturbed. The essential
point, of course, is the essential fitness of Dr. Wauchope.
He is, from all accounts, a very valuable and interesting man.
His services will be from February until June, and I do not
believe any harm will come to the character of our teaching,
and some good from the interchange. I believe much good will
come to the Department from Dr. Kent's residence in Europe for
this period. It is a sort of Sabbatical year arrangement,
without cost to the Institution, that I heartily approve of. Upon application of Dr. Charles W. Kent, I have recommended
to the Rector and Visitors of the University that he
be given a vacation for the remainder of the session. As
you are aware, it is his purpose to spend this vacation
abroad. Dr. Kent, in making the application to me, recommended
most enthusiastically your name as a suitable incumbent
for the Chair for the remainder of the session of 1910. I have to report that about 12:30 o'clock on the morning
of the 8th of February, fire was discovered in the basement
of the Chapel. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

University of Virginia, on May 6th, in the President's Office, The undersigned respectfully reports that pursuant to the
resolution of the Visitors at the June meeting, 1909, providing
for the transfer to the Alumni Board of Trustees of the University
of Virginia Endowment Fund, as in said resolution set
forth, on March 30, 1910, after having had a previous meeting
with Mr. Eppa Hunton, Jr., the Treasurer of said Alumni Board
of Trustees in Richmond, in order to arrange the various details
for the proper transfer of those of said securities which
were registered, the undersigned receipted to the Virginia Trust
Company for the following named and described bonds, and turned
the same over to said Hunton as Treasurer of said Alumni Board
of Trustees of the University of Virginia Endowment Fund taking
his receipts therefor in the words and figures following: viz.- Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector,
the bond with all unmatured coupons thereto attached. Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia, through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector
all of the above listed securities with all of the unmatured
coupons thereto attached. The Executive Committee of the local chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa requests that, unless you yourself see some reason for
not doing so, you will submit to the Board of Visitors, their
request that the Chapter be granted the use of one of the rooms
of the University, and would suggest as suitable for the purpose,
the unoccupied room on East Range in the building in which
Dr. B. W. Green now resides. We desire this room to keep in it
the records, library, photographs, and other property of the
Chapter, and for the use of the officers of the Chapter in the
discharge of their duties. I enclose herewith a formal contract prepared by Messrs.
Moon and Fife, relative to the removal of the track, &c., by
the Street Car Company. It has been executed by the Company,
and I have signed it as Chairman of the Executive Committee.
When this Company began the work, I was under the impression
that the Committee, composed of yourself, Dr. Lambeth, and
myself, had power to act in the matter; but it seems that the
power was vested in you gentlemen and the Executive Committee.
I will be glad if you will have this paper properly executed
at the meeting of the Board called for Saturday. I regret to
say it will be impossible for me to attend the meeting, as I
shall be out of town. On the 10th day of April 1908, the Board of Visitors of
the University of Virginia adopted a resolution that the petition
of the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway Company
for change of the location of its line be referred to you
gentlemen with authority to act. I enclose herewith a paper from Mr. L. T. Hanckel, President
of the Street Railway Company, making application for
permission to change the location and grade of the street-car
track as it passes over the lands of the University. The undersigned respectfully requests your honorable
body to permit it to change the location of its Street Car
Line running through the premises of the University of Virginia.
It is desired to change the location of its railway
line from its present one to a point lying north of the trestle
and south of the light and heating plant of the University
of Virginia,- the new line to be located at such point and
along such curves and grades as will be agreeable to and approved
by your body. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the University of Virginia, at 2:30 P. M., on above date,
in the office of the President, East Lawn. I received a copy of passages from the Records of
the University of Virginia, having to do with the establishment,
of the University Observatory by Mr. Leander McCormick and the
endowment of the professorship and working fund in connection
therewith. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication
of June 11th, containing a presentation of the conditions
under which the McCormick Observatory was established at the
University of Virginia, and making certain suggestions as to
the future use of the observatory and the future conduct
of the astronomical work at the University. I had hoped
to be able to present that matter to the Board at their
June meeting, but by reason of circumstances beyond my control,
that meeting was not held, and it is not possible
to bring the matter before them before the early fall.
Your letter and all the facts must be brought before them and
a clear decision reached. The great majority of the Board
are men who have taken up service on the Board since these
matters were handled, and it will be necessary for them to
go back over the records and make a study of the situation
themselves. I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of
June 20th which has been forwarded to me. Please accept thanks for yours of the
3d. According to the records of the Board of Visitors of the
University, the duties of the Professor of Astronomy were to
be two-fold: 1st. To teach theoretical and practical astronomy:
2nd. To spend any remaining time in the use of the telescope. Enclosed please find a copy of the above mentioned
trust, the original of which is recorded and filed in the
clerk's office of the Albemarle Co., court, also an order
on the Albemarle Nat. Bank for the two bonds mentioned in
said document, the interest from which is to be devoted to
the scholarship. I have the honor to report that at their meeting of Nov. 7
last, the Academic Faculty approved the attached outline of a
proposal course in Public Speaking. By resolution the Faculty
recommended that the proposed course be approved by the
President and Visitors and the the course be given
the value of one elective at large, when offered for the
Baccalaureate Degree. The Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway
Company of Charlottesville, Virginia, a corporation
duly chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, respectfully
requests that your Honorable Board will grant
it the right to locate and operate an electric railway line
upon and through the property of the University of Virginia,
along the terrace West of what is known as "Rugby Road", and
between said Road and the walk immediately East of the Fayerweather
Gymnasium. Said line to begin at the Ivy Turnpike
Road, and run in a North-westerly direction to the C. & O.
Railway overhead bridge on the Rugby Road: said line to be
located and constructed under the general supervision and
direction of the President and the Superintendent of Grounds
and Buildings of the University of Virginia, and the Chairman
of the Executive Committee of your Board; and that an order
be entered on the minutes of your Board authorizing the said
line to be located on an through the property of the University

for the consideration of the "Financial Budget" for 1911-1912, I hereby tender to you and through you to the
Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, my resignation
as Professor of Secondary Education, and as Professor of
Psychology, and as Director of the Summer School at the
University of Virginia. I should like for this resignation
to take effect at the end of the scholastic year, June 14,
1911. I think it advisable to continue my connection with
the Summer School until its close, July 29th, and with respect
to that phase of my work this resignation should not become
operative until July 29th. It may be that I cannot be present
every day during the Summer School, but if agreeable
I shall be present as often as possible. By the Eleventh Article of his last will and Testament
the Hon. Lambert Tree, Deceased, of this city, bequeathed to
your institution the sum of $5,000.00 to be invested in
perpetuity for the benefit of your library. To be used in
the purchase of books, or such other ways as may be deemed
best for said library. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication
of the 29th, inst., containing a check for $4,854.61, being
the bequest of the Hon. Lambert Tree, deceased, to the University
of Virginia, less the inheritance tax of the State of Illinois
of $145.39. I also acknowledge receipt of the copy of article
XI of the will of Lambert Tree, deceased, setting forth
the purpose for which this bequest shall be used. The
University of Virginia will in due time express proper

University of Virginia on above date in the Presidents'
Office. The following statement was presented by the President,
and ordered to be placed on record as follows: I beg to submit to you the following reports from
the Faculty of the Department of Graduate Studies of the
University of Virginia and the Faculty of the College of the
University of Virginia, the two comprising the Academic
Department of the Institution. I submit these reports
with my entire approval and endorsement. They are the
result of patient study of specially appointed committees
of these faculties extending over a period of two years.
They have been carefully considered and discussed by the
Faculties themselves in utmost detail. In some cases they
have been held up for months with a view of obtaining the
best information on all subjects connected with the curriculum
and the methods of teaching in modern colleges. They
have passed the Facilties of the Department of Graduate
Studies and of the College with practical unanimity. The
report of the Faculty of the Graduate Department is unanimous,
and the report from the Faculty of the College
comes to you with only one dissenting vote. The fundamental
purpose in these proposed modifications is to increase the
power, to elevate the standards, and to place on a surer
pedagogic basis all instruction given at the University of
Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

in the office of the President, East Lawn, I have the honor to inform you that
I have accepted a position as research Chemist with the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, and I herewith
hand you my resignation as Professor of Chemistry, in
the University of Virginia, to take effect at the beginning
of the next collegiate year. I beg to acknowledge with very
profound and sincere regret your communication of the 19th,
inst., tendering your resignation as Professor of Chemistry,
in the University of Virginia. I wish for you in your new
position as research chemist with the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station every opportunity for the advancement of
your chosen field of work. You have served this University,
permit me to say, with ability and distinction during your
brief period of work here. You have made friends of your
colleagues and friends of your pupils, and all of us feel,
no one more than myself, that in losing you we are sustaining
a genuine loss both in the direction of scientific power
and personality. I appreciate the motives that have moved
you to this decision, and while I deeply regret that the
result is your separation from the work here, I can only
wish for you in this new field the abundant measure of
success you have achieved here. The trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund at a meeting held in New York on November 1, (1911)
adopted the following: The University of Virginia will undertake to
maintain a Department of Education upon which not less
than $10,000.00 a year will be expended for maintenance
per annum, provided the Peabody Education Fund will donate
the sum of $40,000.00 to the Rector and Visitors of the
University for the purpose of erecting a suitable building
for the home of this department. The University already
has in hand funds amounting to $7,000.00 a year that could
be used legitimately for this purpose. It would be necessary
for it, in order to carry out this proposition, to increase
this amount by the sum of $3,000.00. This it hopes to
be able to do in the next six months. It is, therefore,
suggested that that amount of time, at least, be allowed
the University of Virginia in which to meet the conditions
of this proposition. I have the honor to inform
you that the Executive Committee of the Foundation
at its meeting on June 8 voted to admit the University
of Virginia to the list of accepted institutions of
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. I beg to acknowledge with very
great pleasure and satisfaction the receipt of your communication
of June 9th, wherein you inform me that the Executive
Committee of the Foundation at its meeting on June 8th, voted
to admit the University of Virginia to the list of accepted
Institutions of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. I am gratified at this action of the Foundation,
not solely because it secures against want the old age of
men who have given their lives to an unlucrative but noble
profession, but in a higher sense because such action signalizes
the accomplishment by this University of a great undertaking
which it set out to bring to pass nearly seven years ago.
It now occupies a consistent and logical relation to the system
of secondary education with which it is allied, and it has also
concluded legislation by which it occupies consistent and logical
relation in its graduate school, to the college and higher institutions.
Such action of the Foundation is an added testimony
to the fact that standards of admission established have been
administered with integrity and good sense. I wish to express
to the Foundation assurances of our belief that the Foundation
has helped powerfully in enabling this University, and other
Universities in this country to establish and maintain such
standards as to unify the whole educational process. I too
hope that the relations between the Foundation and the University
may be one of material help and service in all educational development. We are forwarding to you today via Adams Express
thirty notes of $1,000.00 each, made by J. W. Hough and
Abner S. Pope, payable to the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia. All of these notes bear interest
from Jan. 1, 1911 to Jan. 1, 1913, at the rate of three
per cent per annum, and after that date, at the rate of
six per cent per annum. The notes are as follows: I am very anxious to get your
advice and co-Operation in connection with the expenditure
of the income of the Phelps-Stokes Fund of which I am one
of the Trustees. This Fund, which amounts to about a million
dollars, was left by my Aunt, Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes,
with the understanding that the income should be used for
various educational purposes, but more particularly for advancing
the cause of negro education in the South. I have
had several conferences with out mutual friend, Dr. Dillard,
and I wish your specific opinion regarding the plan that we
have had under favorable discussion for creating fellowships,
endowed we will say at $10,000. each, at two or three
representative state universities in the South, such as the
University of Virginia, and the University of Georgia. The
Fellowship to be awarded by the proper university authorities
to graduate students whose time would be devoted to studies
on some phase of the negro problem. The administration of
the Fund, the selection of incumbents, etc., to be entirely
in the hands of the University authorities. I was greatly interested to have your
letter of the 29th, ult., and have been giving the matter
of your suggestion very grave thought. I have felt for
many years that a fundamental thing to do in this tangled
problem is to cause it to be scientifically approached by the
scholarship of the South. The thing to do is to take it out
of the nervous system of our people and their emotions and to
get it set up before them as a great human problem, economic
in nature, scientific in character, to be acted upon as the
result of broad, wise, sympathetic study. The time ought to
come when our best scholars will take pride in making contributions,
however minute, toward the handling of the great
question. I have no doubt that an endowed foundation of the
character suggested by you would be most acceptable to the
authorities of this University. I am a bit troubled about
just the right suggestion to make to you in regard to your
definite proposition for the creating of fellowships endowed at
approximately $10,000, and having for their primary purpose the
securing ultimately of a small group of trained men who shall giv
their life to the study and improvement of the negro conditions.
Let me explain a bit. I established here, at
Tulane University, and at the University of North Carolina
the first Professorship of Economics: Sociological subjects
were not being taught in Southern institutions. Even
Political Science, as a scientific subject, has no independent
status. We now have a very strong department of Economics,
and temporarily, a very able lecturer in Political Science.
Our full Professor of Economics, as you may know, is on the
Tariff Board, and his place is supplied by a veryable
fellow from Wisconsin. We have two full professors in the
Department of Education, and these departments make it a
point to emphasize the sociological aspects of education.
There is, however, no Professor of Sociology. It, of course,
is as yet an undefined and somewhat empiric science, but
there is a tremendous current of interest among our men in
the big questions affecting social betterment, the improvement
of rural life, the imporvement of industrial life, the better
governing of cities, questions of public health and sanitation,
and foremost among them, supreme in its importance, stands,
of course, the negro problem with all of its implications.
The ideal need here is a professorship in that great field,
giving to the negro problem its right place as the chief
subject of scientific study by our analytic minded scholars.
This, of course, means a good deal of money. The next in
order would be, it seems to me, a lectureship demanding much
less money, but devoted almost exclusively to the study of
the negro problem and the social betterment question, to
giving information to the young men, to giving the proper
bent to their minds, to stimulating their interest, to
developing in them right methods of approach to such a subject.
It seems to me such a lectureship logically precedes
the establishment of a fellowship. Out of such lectureship and
its activities would come such interest as to arouse young
men inside or outside of the University to strive for a prize to
be offered by us in the form of a fellowship or scholarship. W
the sum you mentioned, $500.00 a year would be yielded as
income. If $400.00 of this could be given to a man who would
come here and make, say, a dozen lectures and meet men in semina
ways; and then, if $100.00 could be made as a prize for the
best bit of research work in small fields at first-I mean small
as to area-the matter could get itself tried out, though on somewhat
too meager a basis. I hesitate for a moment, though I hate
to seem to hesitate a second in such a matter to establish an
independent Fellowship in such a subject when there is back of
it no clear instruction or stimulation in the great field which
the Fellowship would cover. My fear about it is simply that
the work itself would not get justice. The work would not yield
its best results. You may be sure I want this opportunity here.
Would it be possible to consider the proposition to increase the
sume just a bit so as to make the Lectureship and the Fellowship
co-existent? If such could be done it seems to me a new era
would be brought about in our best institutions in their
attitude toward this matter. Last year one of our professors
gave a course of talks on the negro, based on Weatherford's
book. It was astonishing the interest taken in the matter,
the book being used as a text-book. I heartily wish I could
talk with you about this matter, or with my friend,
Dillard. Instruction in such a matter is not only not
unwise, but most needed and would be welcome. I would
never want to see such a fellowship established here, unless
I saw fruitful results issuing out of it. I do not want it
to become a mere academic thing that in time would lose
its edge and become a mere formal prize. I hope you will
not reach any definite conclusion in the matter until in
some way we can talk it out, for it is a big question and
incapable of just solution by interchange of letters. I have the honor to inform you that at a meeting
of the Trustees of the Phelps-Stokes Fund held at the office
of Anson Phelps Stokes, 100 William St., New York City,
Wednesday, November 15, 1911, the following vote was passed: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

also to express my pleasure in noting the growing realization
of the duty of the University constantly to readjust itself
in order that it may with ever increasing efficiency contribute
to the higher life of the people. In the firm
belief that this spirit and this realization will continue
to grow with the passing years, I lay down my work here with
pride that I have been privileged for so long a time to be
connected with an institution possessed of such splendid
traditions, and (what is more important) inspired by such
noble ambition to serve. With sincere personal esteem, I have the honor to inform you that the

learned that Mr. J. S. Lapham, a graduate of this University
in Mechanical Engineering, desired an appointment on our
teaching staff. Mr. Lapham is a young man of unusual ability;
and, if his application had been received earlier, he would
undoubtedly have been engaged. It is not often that any
school has the opportunity of securing the services of a
man so eminently fitted by capacity, training, and character
to make a useful and accomplished University teacher. The
department is already committed to the young men nominated in
our report as instructors for 1913-1914, and cannot in good
faith, cancel any one of the nominations. On the other
hand, the opportunity is one which cannot be postponed; unless
Mr. Lapham comes to us, he will go into business with his
father, and such permanent changes will have to be made in
the details of that business as will prevent him from
accepting a position with us in the future. As you are already aware, I have recently sent to the
Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation a formal application
for retirement, feeling that after forty years of full
professional work and twenty-five years of active service
at this University, the time has come when it is wise for me
to take advantage of the provisions of the Foundation, I. We recommend that the sites on Carr's Hill for
fraternity houses, be at present restricted to four, and
that the northernmost site be located on a line passing
through the centre of the president's residence and the
centre of the president's stable, and at least as far
distant from the president's house as is the location of
the "Delta Tau Delta" house. Prof. Newcomb who is planning the plants for the
sewage purification, as directed by the State Board of Health,
indicates that we will have to acquire land to furnish a
sufficient fall to carry off the effluent from the filter
beds. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

in the matter, and as there is not now time to transmit

deem wise—and thus secure earlier action than would otherwise

the Commons Committee, entered into a contract with Charles
Jaimes Leasing the University Commons for the period of
one year. The terms of this agreement are exactly the
same as authorized by the Rector and Board of Visitors in
the spring of 1912, except that in lieu of a surety bond
guaranteeing the safe return of the University's property,
I accepted a $50.00 a month deposit with the Bursar of the
University. It was impossible for Mr. Jaimes to secure
the bond required, and I substituted this cash deposit
because I believed that the University's interests were
amply safeguarded thereby, and on account of the limited
time, it was impossible for me to wait for authority from
the Board. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Committee recommends the passage of the following resolutions: Some time after the return
of President Alderman, the Bursar, at the suggestion of the
President, consulted the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
as to what compensation the Dean of the University should
receive. Since July, Dr. Page had been receiving the
regular salary of a full professor, $3,300.00 and a house;
$350.00 as Dean, and $1,500 as acting President during
Dr. Alderman's absence,—a total of $5150.00 and a house.
After Dr. Alderman's return the Bursar was uncertain of his
authority to continue paying Dr. Page as acting president.
He asked advice of the President, who referred him to the
Chairman of the Executive Committee. The latter corresponded
with the other members of the committee, but it was decided
to defer action until the meeting of the Board of Visitors.
Since November the 1st, the payment of the salary of $1500.00
as acting president has been discontinued. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and the rude, rickety door-stones (they could
hardly be called door-steps) of the old farmhouse
to which, they led, were wet and dry
almost at the same moment, happening at the
moment in which our story opens, to be dry; the fickle
clouds had scattered, and the sun was shining with pretty
nearly midsummer heat. It was about noon-day, and the
young girl who had been busy all the morning digging in
the flower-beds that lay on either side a straight path running
from the front door to the front gate, suddenly tossed
aside her bonnet, and flung herself down on the steps. She
was tired, and rather lay than sat; and a pleasant picture
she made, her flushed cheek on her arm, the cape, lately
tied at her throat, drawn carelessly to her lap, her tiny
naked feet sunken in the grass, and all her fair neck and
dimpled shoulders bare. “My sweet Sister Fairfax: When I was under your
hospitable roof, a day or two since,” (he had not been
under the roof at all, remember), “I had the rashness to
make a proposal to your little daughter which I have not
the courage to carry out without your permission. But to
come at once to the head and front of my offending, I proposed
to take her to see our unfortunate brother, Samuel
Dale, of whom, by the way, I hear sad accounts. It seemed
to me that it might gratify the childish fondness she appears
to feel for him, and do no harm, but you, of course, are the
best judge of this, and on second thoughts I have been led
to distrust my first impulse; but the little darling has a
strange power upon me, and I could not see her suffering
without at least seeking to relieve it. If you approve of
my suggestion I will report myself for duty in a day or two,

add one more to my many obligations. I will be back at
farthest in six weeks, and then we will square up, once for

suppose you want with a post-office
at Baldwin's Ranch? It would not do you any good. If any letters came there,
you
could'nt read them, you know; and, besides, such letters as ought to pass
through
with money in them, for other localities, would not be likely to get through, you must
perceive at once; and that would make trouble for us all. No, don't bother about
a
post-office in your camp. I have your best interests at heart, and feel that it
would
only be an ornamental folly. What you want is a nice jail, you know—a nice
substantial
jail and a free school. These will be a lasting benefit to you.
These will make
you really contented and happy. I will move in the matter at once. Gentlemen,—You will have to go to the State
Legislature about that speculation of
yours—Congress don't know anything about religion. But don't you hurry to
go there,
either; because this thing you propose to do out in that new country isn't
expedient—in
fact, it is ridiculous. Your religious people there are too feeble, in
intellect, in morality,
in piety—in everything, pretty much. You had better drop this—you
can't make it work.
You can't issue stock on an incorporation like that—or if you could, it
would only keep
you in trouble all the time. The other denominations would abuse it, and
“bear” it,
and “sell it short,” and break it down. They would do with it just
as they would with
one of your silvermines out there—they would try to make all the world
believe it was
“wildcat.” You ought not to do anything that is calculated to bring
a sacred thing into
disrepute. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves—that is what
I think about it.
You close your petition with the words: `And we will ever pray.' I think you
had
better—you need to do it. “ `Gentlemen,—George Washington, the
revered Father of his Country, is dead.
His long and brilliant career is closed, alas! for ever. He was greatly
respected in this
section of the country, and his untimely decease cast a gloom over the whole
community.
He died on the 14th day of December, 1799. He passed peacefully away from the
scene
of his honors and his great achievements, the most lamented hero and the best
beloved
that ever earth hath yielded unto Death. At such a time as this you speak of
water-lots!
—what a lot was his! “ `Gentlemen,—It is a delicate question
about this Indian trail, but, handled with
proper deftness and dubiousness, I doubt not we shall succeed in some measure or
otherwise,
because the place where the route leaves the Lassen Meadows, over
beyond where
those two Shawnee chiefs, Dilapidated-Vengeance and Biter-of-the-Clouds, were
scalped
last winter, this being the favorite direction to some, but others preferring
something else
in consequence of things, the Mormon trail leaving Mosby's at three in the
morning, and
passing through Jawbone Flat to Blucher, and then down by Jug-Handle, the road
passing
to the right of it, and naturally leaving it on the right too, and
Dawson's on the
left of the trail where it passes to the left of said Dawson's, and onward
thence to
Tomahawk, thus making the route cheaper, easier of access to all who can get at
it and
compassing all the desirable objects so considered by others, and, therefore,
conferring
the most good upon the greatest number, and, consequently, I am encouraged to
hope
we shall. However, I shall be ready, and happy, to afford you still futher information
upon the subject, from to time, as you may desire it and the Post

President Alderman was also in attendance. The President announced
the following gifts to the University: I am writing for my Aunt to enclose
her check for Ten Thousand Dollars. She would like this
gift to be a continuation of her former gift for the
gate to be used for the improvement of the roads,
and in memory of Mr. Senff. I am very, very sorry that you cannot be with
me on Founder's Day, but I shall count most confidently on
having you in my home as my guest to see this place before many
months have gone by. Mr. Langhorne, of course, will want
you, but you must be with me for some portion of your time
here. I have just received and read with great
happiness and satisfaction your letter of March 23. I feel
sure that I can with entire propriety and satisfaction
treat the arrangement you suggest as a donation of $50,000,
and will be most happy so to do. It would be difficult for
me to tell you how much real strength and helpfulness you
are giving to the University of Virginia by this gift, supplying,
as it will undoubtedly do, a need so urgent and acute
that I have been at my wit's end to know what to do to care
for it. I am very glad to learn by your letter of
March 27th that my proposition to make the donation of
$50,000. in the form of a check for $25,000. and my note
for the same amount due and payable on or before January 5th,
1916, is satisfactory to you. About the 7th or 8th of April
I will send the check and note on to you. In the meantime I
will be glad if you will write me whether the whole of the gift
will likely be used for a single building and what part, if
any, will be used for laboratory equipment. I am, of course,
greatly pleased at the thought of being helpful to the University
at a time when its need is urgent. I note by your letter of March 31st that the
whole of my gift to the University will be applied to a laboratory
for chemistry. This is entirely agreeable to me and I
think now I shall, within two or three days, send you my check
for $50,000. instead of a check for $25,000. and a note for the
same amount. In compliance with my recent promise to
you I take pleasure in enclosing herewith my check # 66,
on Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, to your order, for $50,000.
This is a gift outright to the University of Virginia. I
understand it is your purpose to use the proceeds of this
check towards the erection of a building for a chemical
laboratory. In the purpose for which the donation is to be
used, in the fact that the donation is to the University
of Virginia, in the certainty that a large part of such
benefits as will come from the gift will go to the South,
my most earnest desires are fully met and under such conditions
I feel it a privilege to be able to make the donation. My
original plan was to make this gift on the occasion of your
return to the University last fall from your long illness but
the War interfered with my intentions. Your unselfish spirit
will, I know, excuse the delay. As Secretary of the Board of Trustees under the
deed of the late Samuel Miller I am directed to say that at
a meeting of the Board held this morning Mr. Ivey F. Lewis,
of the University of Missouri was unanimously nominated
to the Board of Visitors to fill the Chair made vacant by
the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle in the School
established under the provisions of the deed of Samuel Miller.
I am directed by the Board to request you to lay this nomination
before the Board of Visitors of the University of
Virginia for their action. RESOLVED: That this Board will at its June, 1915 meeting
make appropriation of the fund at its disposal, and in making
the nomination for the Chair made vacant by the resignation of
Professor Albert H. Tuttle it is the sense of this Board that
the Department of which the newly nominated Professor is to be
the head if elected by the Board of Visitors - should be reorganized
by the latter Board so as to carry out as far as
practicable with the fund available, the purposes of Mr. Miller,
and that this Board will hereafter proceed to appropriate the
entire net income of the Miller Fund to the support of the department
of which the new professor is to be the head. Some eight years ago, I notified the University that
in drafting my will I had inserted a clause bequeathing it
the sum of thirty thousand (30,000) dollars; the purpose of
the gift being the erection of a teaching building on the
grounds of the University; and that I had made this bequest
in response to a feeling of deep gratitude to the University
for the inestimable service it did for me during my student
days of long ago. I have your letter of April 3rd and thank you
for the kind expressions, &c. By an instrument in writing purporting to be a deed,
and dated May 10th, 1912, John Armstrong Chaloner states that
thereby he conveys certain real estate situated at Roanoke
Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina, to the University
of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina, jointly,
reserving to himself a life estate therein; and this instrument
is recorded in the Clerk's Office of Albemarle
County, Virginia, in Deed Book 150, page 136. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors
was held on this date with the following present: Armistead
C. Gordon, Rector, Goodrich Hatton, R. Tate Irvine, John W.
Craddock, Wm. H. White, G. B. R. Michie, Dr. W. F. Drewry,
Walter Tansill Oliver and Dr. Frank W. Lewis. I want to donate one thousand dollars to the
University because of my loyalty to her, and for what
she stands and has done - not that that sum is the measure
of my estimate of her worth or my admiration. I learn from the Bursar that the new schedule
of fees in Engineering announced in the catalogue will
have to receive your formal approval and be validated
by action of the Board of Visitors before it is put
into force. A special Committee of three appointed by the
Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association
to consider, with power to act, the question of financing
the Secretary of the Alumni Association and his office,
begs leave to announce to the Board of Visitors that it
has decided to recommend to the Alumni Association that
it guarantee the sum of $2500.00 yearly for three years,
which with the $1500.00 a year appropriated by the Board
of Visitors for the same purpose and which we assume will
be continued, will make $4000.00 a year, the sum estimated
sufficient to conduct this important work. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

in the past. The gifts which you have hitherto so generously
given have been devoted, as you know, to the purpose of inaugurating
a beautiful and satisfactory grounds and road system
throughout the University, including gateways and such road
building as tend to make the Institution more beautiful and modern
in appearance. This is a unique and distinguished form of benefaction
to the University which no one else has thought of, much
less attempted. We have made, I think, economical and successful
use of your last gift of $10,000, and the roads put down
are wonderful in their detail and in their effect. They are,
however, quite expensive. The soil basis here is stiff red
clay, and nothing will conquer it for all time except the best
and most enduring form of Travia road. It is really a great
macadam tied and made solid by the use of tar. It is such a road
as you find in the finest roads in the north. This road now
extends from the western gateway almost to the Fry's Spring
road where we hope to put another gateway. It branches off towards
the gardens and the Lawn. It covers nearly all of the
East Range road. As a matter of fact, however, the work cannot
be completed by that gift. In order to make the situation what
it ought to be, and worthy of the beginning, made possible
by your beneficience, I estimate that the sum of $15,000 will
be necessary. This, of course, might extend over a number
of years. I am wondering if it would be possible for you to
make us another gift of $10,000 for 1916-'17, which would
enable us to come very near completing the scheme in mind.
As I have indicated, it need not be given in one sum, or it
might be given in any set of payments that suit your convenience,
but if we had the knowledge of it, we could go about
consummating the work we have set our hands to under your
great generosity. I think the standard of dignity would
then be insured here for all time. A new gateway somewhat in
harmony with the one at the front entrance would also then be
placed at the Southern entrance where the new Chemical Laboratory
is to go which will make the main highway of the University
handsomely cared for. I am very glad to learn that your system
of roads is progressing so well, and I would like to complete
the work as you have outlined it in your letter, in memory of
Mr. Senff. The new wing of the hospital, made possible
by your beneficence is about completed. It is the handsomest
thing in its way in the whole University and makes of the
hospital a really efficient and powerful agency in our life.
I want to put a tablet on the inner walls simply recording the
facts of its gift by you, and adding any name or memorial
tribute that you would care to have on it. Would you mind
telling me just what you would like to have it called, and
any wording of the tablet that might suggest itself to you.
I want to send you a photograph of the building as soon as the
builder's debris is removed from about it. I have your letter of March 24th, and I shall
be very glad to give you ten thousand dollars more in order
to equip the Hospital. I hope you won't think me impudent or bold, or
lacking in delicacy if I bring this matter to your attention. I cannot see the slightest bit of impropriety
in your writing me of your need of $5,000. in order
to equip the new laboratory for "immediate and effective use."
On the contrary, I am very glad you did write me and I cheerfully
subscribe the $5,000. and will send it when you let me
know it is needed. You may be sure I was deeply touched and more
so than I could give owrds to by your expressed willingness
to increase your gift for equipment to $10,000, if it were
needed. In any event, of course, this equipment money will not
be vitally needed until early next spring, when it will be necessary
to make the building ready for use. In venturing to ask
you for the additional gift for the equipment of the building,
I naturally put the sum at the minimum, because I felt you
had done so much that I had no right to suggest anything except
a mimimum request; and, too, we are so accustomed to doing things
here on the mimimum basis that I felt that was all I dare present
to you. The extra $5,000 would, however, be of immense value
to us in adding real fullness and power to our equipment, both
in certain external phases as to approach and in certain internal
machinery and equipment. We will spend nothing, of course,
for mere frills. I have not mentioned the matter to any of my
faculty, save to talk with them a little about their needs.
They do not yet know of your gift of $5,000. I find that they
feel that in Industrial Chemistry more money for equipment is
needed than could possibly be covered by the sum of $5,000, which
could only cover the needs of General Chemistry. I am happy at receiving your letter of the
10th inst., and am well pleased that you return home feeling
rested. My heart was deeply touched by your swift
and generous accession to the suggestion born of your own purpose
but coming from me in the second instance. There was long
and grateful applause and deep appreciation of your action.
The Board has not yet met to make formal acceptance of the
gifts. They meet on the 18th of April. I know you know without
words from me how deeply it all strengthens my mind and purpose. About a year ago, I wrote regarding
the establishment of a Scholarship in the University,
by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, the
scholarship being a tribute of our loyalty and gratitude to our
President, Mrs. William Ruffin Cox of Richmond, Virginia. I shall take great pleasure in reporting
to the Rector and Visitors, at their spring meeting, on April
18, the very generous action of the National Society of The
Colonial Dames of America offering to establish at this University,
as a tribute of their loyalty and gratitude to their former
President, Mrs. William Ruffin Cox, of Richmond, Va., a scholarship
in American History. I am quite sure that the Rector and
Visitors will agree with me that this is a beautiful action
on the part of the Society, and will accept this thoughtful
gift with gratitude and appreciation. I take note of your
statement that the work should be not only in American History
but cover American Colonial History, and that wherever possible
it should be given to a student from one of the schools maintained
for the education of the youth of the mountain regions of the
Southern States. I have a magnificent portrait of J. L. M.
Curry, painted in Madrid by the Elder Madrazzo, when he was
President of the Royal Academy. It is a work of art and appropriately
and exquisitely framed in carved apple-wood. I find
it too large for my house. It would give me pleasure to present
it to the University of Virginia, thinking it might be hung in the
hall used for the Curry School of Pedagogy. I remain, Your letter received today, informing me
of your purpose to present to the University a portrait of Dr.
Curry gives me great delight and satisfaction. I have wanted
a portrait of him ever since the completion of our splendid
building which houses the Curry School of Education. There is
a perfect place for its hanging, and the whole matter gives me
very great pleasure. The Curry School of Education is growing
in power and influence, and is just at the threshold of its
usefulness. I venture to predict that it will be in the end
one of the most permanent memorials to Dr. Curry's fame that
could have been conceived of. It will be an inspiration to
the young men to have knowledge of his face and form. At the request of Mr. J. M. Carlisle,
Surviving Trustee of the late Mary W. Curry, I am shipping
to you tomorrow, March 8th, by Adams Express, charges prepaid,
and addressed as above, one box containing the portrait of the
late Dr. J. L. M. Curry, painted by Mrazo. The portrait is
insured for the sum of $5,000, and a valuation of $400 is placed
upon the box with the express company, according with Mr. Carlisle's
request. In reply to Miss Worrell's letter of Nov.
26th, will say that the work on the monument to Dr. Green,
is well done. The family is very grateful to you for this
gift to his memory. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8 o'clock p. m., with the following present:
The Rector, Armistead C. Gordon, Visitors, Craddock, Hatton,
Irvine, Lewis, Michie, Stearnes and Turnbull, and President
Alderman. Miss Mary Amelia Smith of Warrenton, Virginia,
by her last will and testament, recorded February 24th, 1913,
in Will Book 47 at page 34 in Fauquier County Clerk's Office,
Virginia, left all of her property of every kind and description
for life to the brothers that survived her, of which
there were only two, namely: Fred W. Smith and Col. Thomas
Smith, and at their death all of said property both real and
personal, was to go to the University of Virginia. Shortly
after Miss Mary Amelia Smith's death, her brother, one of the
above mentioned survivors, returned from South Africa and
immediately began to take steps to break the will of sister
Mary Amelia Smith, and thereby prevent University of Virginia
from having any of her property. The effect of this provision is a two-fold one, (1)
to create such a trust in the University, with reference
to such `public animals, arms, uniforms, and equipment,'
as is not contemplated by the organic law of the
University, and for the assumption and execution of which
there is no authority in the University, either express
or implied: (2) the requirement that the University
shall give "a bond in the value of the property issued
for the care and safe-keeping thereof, and for its
return when required," is in contravention of Section
1556 of the Code of Virginia, vol. 1, page 828, which
provides that "it shall not be lawful for the Rector
and Board of Visitors of the University to contract
any debt whatever on account of said University, without
the consent of the Legislature previously obtained."

that the status of the buildings on the grounds
known as the "Mallet House", continue unchanged. Concerning the increased cost of labor and mechanics The Executors under the will of Colonel
Payne are informed by Mr. Fuller that in or about
the month of July, 1917, at the Colonel's country
place at West Park, Colonel Payne told Mr. Fuller
that in his will he had made a legacy of $250,000.
to the University of Virginia, but that he had decided
to give that sum presently, instead of waiting
until death. Mr. Fuller further states that the next
day Colonel Payne gave to you his check for $250,000.
for the benefit of the University and said to you
substantially what he had said to Mr. Fuller about the
provision in his will and about his subsequent decision
to make the gift presently. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

this date at 10:3- o'clock, with the following present: Rector
Gordon and Visitors Craddock, Michie, Turnbull, Hatton and
Walker, and President Alderman. I hereby lay before you, in the discharge
of my duty as President of the University, a portion of
an address made on November 20th at Sweet Briar College
by Professor Leon R. Whipple, Adjunct Professor of
Journalism in this University, and certain letters showing
that it was the deliberate purpose of Professor
Whipple, in his capacity as a professor of this University,
to conduct a far-reaching propaganda for the promulgation
of the sentiments therein expressed. I enclose an advance story on an
address I shall make at Sweet Briar College tonight.
I think it may be of interest in your territory as a
Sweet Briar event, and also because of the larger
interests involved. I hope you will find room for at
least some of this as these principles cannot be too
often enunciated. I response to your recent request
to the Faculty of the University for changes in, or additions
to, the list of subjects to be offered as free extension
lectures, I desire to ask for the following
changes: You are asked to dismiss me from the Faculty
of the University of Virginia for uttering, publicly,
the truth as revealed to my conscience. I am charged
with acts that are declared not in accord with the purposes
of this nation in the present war, and therefore,
I can no longer be of service in this public institution,
and am unfit to teach the youth who come to seek truth. Following my telegram twenty-fourth, Mrs. White wishes
Dr. Alderman and the Board of Visitors to know that
the newspaper account of Whipple's utterances have been
read to Mr. White, and also Senator Martin's comments
upon same. Mr. White heartily endorses the matter. Greatly regret engagement here prevents my attending
Board meeting tomorrow. Assuming object is to consider
Whipple, not wishing to condemn without hearing,
but based on correctness of reports, my voice is for
summary dismissal. Jefferson's University is not fit
soil for seeds of treason. I have just received notice from Mr. Carruthers
of a meeting of the Board called for to-morrow, Tuesday.
Mr. Carruthers wired me Saturday, but I was out of town
until this morning. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date at 9:30 o'clock A. M., with the following members present:
The Rector, Mr. Irvine, and Visitors Bryan, Hatton, Michie,
Walker, Dillard, Robertson and Hart, and President Alderman. Concerning the proposition of the C. & A. Ry.
Co. for connecting with the University plant, we recommend
the following: Under date of May 28, a communication
was received from the Office of the Surgeon General of
the Army requesting all medical schools which can possibly
do so to begin the session 1918-1919 for fourth year medical
students not later than July 1, so that the Class of
1919 may be graduated by the end of February or early
in March 1919. This measure is to help meet the extraordinary
demand for medical officers for the Army which
is sure to come within the next year or so. I am empowered and directed by
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
to convey to you the deep appreciation and gratitude
of the University for the commemorative tablet in honor
of James Rogers McConnell, an old student of this
Institution who gave his life for France. This tablet
shall be set up in a conspicuous place upon the walls
of this University, and shall serve as a tie to bind together
in everlasting affection and memory the two great
nations now struggling to protect the freedom of mankind
against a menace of tyranny and oppression. I would like to submit for your
approval and that of the Board assembled, the enclosed
plan of an endowment fund to be raised in the future
for the Medical School of the University, and in beloved
commemoration of the late Richard Henry Whitehead.
The plan is that of the Graduating Class in
Medicine, with a view to extending it to the alumni and
also the future classes in Medicine. In recognition of our great indebtedness to the University
of Virginia for our training in Medicine, and in beloved
commemoration of Richard Henry Whitehead, we, the undersigned,
do hereby pledge ourselves to give at some time
to the Medical School one thousand dollars each, or as
much as our financial status shall allow, toward the
establishment of an endowment fund to be called by the
above title. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Alderman. On behalf of the Beverley Club of Staunton, Va.,
of which he was a charter member and its first President,
in 1890, I have the pleasure of presenting to the
University of Virginia an oil portrait of Mr. Armistead
C. Gordon, the University's late Rector. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your
communication of the 19th inst. informing me of the
purpose of the Beverley Club, of Staunton, to present
to the University of Virginia an oil portrait of the
University's late Rector, Hon. Armistead C. Gordon. I
note also the request that this portrait be hung on the
walls of the Colonnade Club. As an Alumnus of the University may I ask your
kind assistance in placing in the proper hands a small
contribution to the Permanent Endowment Fund of the
Institution. I enclose for this purpose a Liberty Bond
for five hundred dollars and shall be greatly obliged to
you for your compliance with my request. The fall meeting of the Rector and
Visitors of the University occurred here on November
26th. I had the honor of presenting your letter of
last July, in which you so generously and graciously
give to the permanent endowment fund of the University
the Libert Bond # 665635. The Rector and Visitors
directed me to extend to you their very grateful thanks
and appreciation of this splendid action, and to assure
you of their purpose to use this money in the permanent
endowment of the University for the best interests of
the Institution. I must again express my appreciation
of the peculiarly handsome way in which you have done
this good deed. The will of Elizabeth B. White, who died in
Baltimore on November 13th, 1917, provides in paragraph
three of item number one that the sum of Five Thousand
Dollars be given to the University of Virginia for the
establishment of scholarships to be known as the ELIZABETH
B. GARRETT SCHOLARSHIPS. Be it Resolved by the Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia, THAT the legacy of Elizabeth B.
White of $5000 to found the Elizabeth B. Garrett Scholarships
at the University of Virginia be and the same is
hereby gratefully accepted upon the terms and conditions
as set forth in her will. From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia: From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia; Major Frederick Waugh Smith notified his brother, Col.
Thomas Smith, and the University of Virginia that he intended
to contest the will on the grounds of the uncertainty of its
provisions, but at the same time he made a proposition of compromise. On November 18th, 1910 you kindly granted permission
to the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway
Company, of Charlottesville, Virginia, a corporation duly
chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, to lay
its track along the terrace west of what is known as Rugby
Road, from the Ivy Road on the South to the C. & O. overhead
bridge on the North, distance of 1050 feet: to be laid
under the general supervision and direction of the President
and Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings of the
University of Virginia, and the Chairman of the Executive
Committee of our Board, with the condition that the track
and works of the company be removed at their own expense
on 60 days notice from the Board, at the pleasure of the
Board. This is to advise you that my recent examination
of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th,
1918, disclosed no irregularities of any kind, but on
the other hand, your records were found to be correct. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Jr., who graduated from the Law School of the University
of Virginia in June, 1911, and who died in France on
August 29, 1918 from wounds received in battle, it is
our desire to erect some usefull and enduring memorial
which will permanently associate his name with the University
of Virginia, - his, as well as his father's, Alma
Mater. This motive springs not alone from the promptings
of parental affection for the memory of an only son, -
and an only child, - but from the wish to give some
outward expression to the love and loyalty that he
cherished for the University. I have this day received your letter of
the 28th inst., with the enclosure, giving so moving and
interesting an account of the life and service of your son,
Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. I have read with the greatest
interest and approval the communication in which you give
to the University of Virginia the sum of $10,000 to be
known as the Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., donation, and to
be used for the general purpose of the enrichment of the
Law Library through the purchase of books and other
accessories. I note, of course, the conditions of the
use of the fund set forth so clearly by you, the wisdom
of which I sincerely subscribe to. I can, in advance,
accept for the Rector and Visitors this noble gift, and can,
in advance, assure you of their profound gratification and
appreciation of the great service you have done to the
University and of their pride that so brave and noble
a youth shall be here commemorated. My wife and I appreciate your kind letter
of the 31st ult. I have written my kinsman, Prof. R. C.
Minor, consenting to the publication of the sketch. Responding to your request for the expression of a
further opinion in connection with the matter of the
Oliver H. Payne bequest to the University, in view of
supposed new evidence, I beg to submit as follows: Whereas Oliver H. Payne, late of the City of
New York, died on the 27th day of June, 1917, leaving a
Last Will and Testament dated the 7th day of September,
1915, and the same was thereafter duly admitted to probate
by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York,
and letters testamentary thereon were issued out of said
court to the Executors named in said Will; and It was my intention and understanding
in making the gift of $155,000. for the establishment of
a School of Fine Arts, that $5,000. or as much thereof
as might be necessary, should be used outright for the
purchase of equipping the School of Art and Architecture. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

most gratefully accept the privilege of petitioning your
Honorable Board for the privilege of offering the use of
Room 31, West Range, the birth-place of our beloved Fraternity,
as a scholarship to deserving members of its organization. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to which

embodied in proper documents to be duly executed by the
parties. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds unanimously
recommends that the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow,

be rejected, and the Committee is unable to make
any recommendation which will provide for the remodeling
or repairing of the property at this time. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and on the Founder's birthday, I desire to enter upon
the execution of a long-cherished design to present
to my Alma Mater a library of international law.
I would begin the collection this year, and would from
time to time add to it, making a final contribution,
including probably a part of my own library, under my
will or such indications as my family would carry out. It was my honnor and pleasure to make
known to the Rector and Visitors of the University, at
their meeting on April 20, 1921, your letter setting
forth your gift - the John Bassett Moore Library of
International Law - to the University of Virginia. I
was directed by the Board to express to you their
gratitude and appreciation of this splendid service to
the University. The Board is largely composed of
members of the legal profession, and you may imagine their
pleasure and satisfaction at the thought of such new
strength will be added to that side of our University
life. I was also instructed to say that your letter
will be spread upon the minutes and that all of the
conditions will be faithfully adhered to. The General Education Board is holding its
mid-winter meeting on February 24th, in New York City. I
have just had a visit from the fiscal agent of that Board.
I am convinced that the sum of $50,000 may be obtained
through that Board from the sum given by Mr. Rockefeller
some years ago for salary increases in American colleges.
Certain sums have already been granted to the University
of North Carolina, William and Mary, and the University of
Alabama, under just the same circumstances. I could not
bring the matter before the Board at the other meeting because
I had not then had the visit of the representative of the
Board here. It is necessary for the General Board to know
that I am speaking by authority of the governing body, or
they would not feel inclined to make any gifts to a State
institution without fore-knowledge that it would be acceptable.
Mr. Carruthers will explain any details connected with
the situation. I am hoping to have a wire from you by
Wednesday night, Hotel Wolcott, 31st Street, New York, authorizing
me to present the inclosed application. It was
specifically stated that action indicating the purpose to make
this application by the Executive Committee would be sufficient. On behalf of the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, I am submitting, through you,
to the General Education Board, an application for an
appropriation of $50,000, to be applied to salary increases
of the instructional staff in the University during the
academic years 1921-22, 1922-23, 1923-24. It is desired
to use the sum asked for both to relieve the present salary
situation as regards increases already made and to make such
further increases as would tend to stabilize justly the
present salary schedule and to afford relief to those manifestly
underpaid. The University expects to obtain the necessary
funds within the time mentioned to take the place
of this grant in order that they may guarantee the permanence
of the increased scale and to increase it in so far as that
may appear resonable and helpful to the institution. Pursuant to our conversation in Mr. Scott's
office last Wednesday, the following is the estimate of the
epxenses of the Endowment Fund campaign which I was to
supply you. You will understand of course, that it is very
difficult to make a close estimate, because we much be
ready to meet conditions as they arise, which may call for
additional and unforeseen expense: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of Virginia of a School or Department of Commerce and Finance,

The conditions I deem it wise to put upon this gift are the
following:- I had the honor to transmit your communication
of May 30th, to the Rector and Visitors at their annual
meeting on May 31st, 1921. The farseeing gift which it
announces was accepted by them unanimously and with deep
appreciation of the wisdom of the purpose for which the
endowment is intended. I was directed by them to express to
you their apprediation and gratitude for this new manifestation
of your wisdon and beneficence. They begged me to
assure you that they were accepting this gift mindful of all
the conditions named by you which they consider wise and helpful
conditions. It will be their purpose to carry out your
wishes rigidly and to seek by all just means to develop the
great new department which this endowment makes possible in

of the Architectural Commission met at the University to
consider sites and recommend a site for the Gymnasium. The Architectural Commission has considered and studied
at length all phases of the gymnasium problem and now submits
these plans which, in our unanimous professional judgment,
are the most economical solution which meets all the
obligatory requirements. We submit an approximate estimate of
cost prepared by Mr. W. P. Thurston, the Richmond contractor,
in the sum of $259,000.00. On this basis we recommend
that the Board authorize the preparation of working
drawings and specifications on which bids for the work
may be secured. According to general plans and specifications of
the central heating system, prepared by myself and adopted
by the engineering faculty, construction will go
forward, as funds become available, in three sections.

available, comprises: ATTENTION Mr. Chas. Hancock On October 10th, 1921 the Common Council of the

Eugene Speicher, of New York, a noted artist and portrait painter.
The portrait is the joint gift of many alumni, members of the

of your kind letter, in which you announce the presentation
to the Rector and Visitors, by a joint group of alumni,
members of the faculty, and friends of the University and of

of Virginia. Please find attached hereto a petition signed by
sixteen of your professors living north of the University
who request that we build a small waiting room at the end
of our car line on Rugby Road, near the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway. My mother, sisters, brother and myself
are planning to make a contribution to the Centennial
Endowment Fund, which we wish to take the shape of a
memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White.
It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection
with the Law School. As we do not know how it could be
best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion
from you. The fund will be available early in May and will
be about $10,000.00. I have your letter of the 7th inst.,
and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure
and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University
to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father.
It so happened that we served together on the Board of
Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know
something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally
pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection
with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I
am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st
of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming.
Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential. Please find enclosed the following
checks: The Trustees of the Austin Estate held for a number
of years a mortgage from the heirs of Elizabeth C. Blackbird.
A year ago last December the mortgage was paid off and we
executed a discharge of the same. The Carnegie Corporation has upon its books an
appropriation of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($1000,000)
to the University of Virginia on which it is at present paying
interest, all conditions in connection therewith having
been fulfilled by the University of Virginia. If satisfactory
to you, the Corporation will find it convenient to pay
this amount in cash on June thirtieth, together with the
regular quarterly payment of interest. I am sending you this
advance notice in order that you may make what arrangements
are necessary for the disposition of the funds. I have your communication of the 6th inst., informing
me that on June 30, the Corporation will find it
convenient to pay the amount of $100,000 to the University
of Virginia together with the regular quarterly payment of
interest. Confirming our conversation of this morning:The

on this date with the following members present: I have made very careful study
of the cost of heating to the University from the new central
station with a view to making recommendation as to a fair
distribution of charges for heat. In reference to E. W. James Estate Income I wish to express however haltingly - my deep appreciation
of the generous kindness you have shown me during
my illness, - a kindness which has made my sickness much
more tolerable and my recovery more certain and complete. When our Board of School Trustees decided recently
to erect a school for the colored population of this place the
most suitable site was found to be on the land now owned by
Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner. We asked Mr. Chaloner to donate
ten acres of land for this purpose. Mr. Chaloner considered
the matter carefully and decided he wanted to doit because of
his love for the people of Roanoke Rapids and his desire to do
something for the colored people of this section. He explained,
however, that he had made a deed of this land to
the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia but that he
thought since he was to have the use of this land during his
lifetime that there would be no difficulty in conveying in fee
simple to our School Board. He suggested that we have our
lawyer investigate the case which has been done. Our attorney
advises that the most suitable way to convey this land is to
have a deed signed jointly by Mr. Chaloner and the proper
authorities from the two universities. I have just written
Dr. Chase to determine whether the University of North
Carolina would be willing to join with the University
of Virginia in making the deed. We asked for ten acres because
we thought that was the smallest part we could get
along with. Knowing your spirit and interest in the cause of
education I feel that you will understand our position and
that there will be little difficulty in getting the proper
acceptance of this arrangement. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

was held on this date at 10 a.m., with the following members
present: Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott, Williams,
Walker and President Alderman. It is my sad duty to announce to the faculty and students
of the University the death of Professor Charles
Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend
sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing
the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial
held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed
on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of
June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial,
wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated
to the University of Virginia toward its program of
research in the Social Sciences. I shall present
this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the
University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall
at that time convey their expression, as the Governing
Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of
this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally
assure you of my own profound sense of obligation
to you for the patient thought you have given to the
matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry
out the work which this money is intended to promote,
with the very highest desire to have the exact thing
that the Board intends to get done in our American
life. At a meeting of the committee representing
the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously
voted to offer to the University the support of a Research
Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise
$4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair.
We decided to specify history because we feel that it will
make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a
position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary
to establishing this Chair with the authorities of
the University. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8 p.m., with Messrs. Walker, Hull, Williams,
Mrs. Munford and President Alderman present. Your committee on the New Medical Buildings
recommends to the President that the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia authorize
their Buildings Committee to enter into an agreement
to carry forward the construction of the Central
Heating Plant for the New Medical Building in accordance
with the proposals submitted by Mr. J. A. Almirall,
hereto attached. The proposals include one boiler
for the University and a building for the whole former
plant to inclose another boiler and electrical
equipment for lighting the University, therefor the
University is to pay $35,000 and the Medical Building
Fund is to pay $50,000. The Medical Building Fund
will loan $35,000 to the University to be repaid later. At the meeting which the writer had with you
yesterday morning, relative to the installation of
new boiler at Central Power Plant, he left with you
the two letters dated February 9th and February 11th
which had previously been written concerning this
subject. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

by a personal interview with several agricultural
experts at V. P. I., the committee on "Blandy Experimental
Farm" is of the opinion that the tentative educational program
submitted below is practical, and furthermore, that it
will (1) comply with the will of the donor, (2) be a service
to the people of the State, and (3) will not conflict with
the work which is now being done at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute. In light of these facts then, the following
recommendations are made: I beg to advise that, pursuant to instructions
given me at the March 1st meeting of the Board, I
called on Bentley W. Warren and Irvin McD. Garfield,
trustees of the Estate of Arthur W. Austin, on April
11th and received from them the corpus of the estate

Muir bequest has been received and delivered to
the State-Planters Bank & Trust Company, of
Richmond, Va., in accordance with resolution adopted
at the meeting of the Board April 22, and that
formal contract for the care of same, similar to
those now in existence with the Virginia Trust
Company and the Peoples National Bank, has been
executed. The estate was forwarded by the First
National Bank of Alexandria, Va., Trustees, to their
respresentative in Richmond, being delivered to
the depository upon official receipt for same. The schedule of proposed salary increases for
certain members of the teaching staff and other employees
of the University of Virginia for the session
1927-28, as approved by the Rector and Visitors of
the University on April 22nd, 1927, has been received. You have submitted to me a copy of your letter
to the Rector and Visitors, under date of April 22nd,
in which you report having received certain securities
and monies to be held by the University under will
of Arthur W. Austin, deceased. The undersigned Committee, appointed at the meeting
of the Board on April 22nd to investigate the charges
preferred by the Rev. George Floyd Rogers against Prof.
William E. Knight, begs leave to report as follows: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8:00 P. M., being continued on the
morning of the 26th at 10 o'clock, with the following
members present: Visitors A. C. Carson, Hart, Hull, McIntire,
Rinehart, Scott and Williams, and the Rector C.
Harding Walker, and President Alderman. All members present
at the morning session except Mr. Hull. For a number of years it has been the policy of the
University to pay the salaries of its administrative
officers and members of the teaching staff, above the grade
of instructor, on a yearly basis in monthly installments
on the first of each month. This practice arose from
the payment of salaries to its professors in large part
from the fees from their respective students, being made
in quarterly payments. Later this was changed to five
payments per session and, finally, to monthly payments
in advance when students' fees were no longer allocated
to professors' stipends. This policy of payments in
advance was also justified by reason of the fact that the
State's appropriation to the University was received in
monthly allotments on the first of each month for the
current month. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

I organized and caused to be drilled, armed, and
equipped a regiment of enfranchised bondmen,

Board of Visitors in forcing a group of rules upon the student body without consultation with the students. At a meeting of the Memphis Chapter of the University of Virginia Alumni Association, the
action of the Visitors in undertaking to codify and set up specific rules to regulate the gentlemanly
behavior of the Student Body was considered. In view of the recent regulations passed by you concerning this chapter, it is requested that
you reconsider part of section three of your resolution. The part in question states, "That the four
members of the SPE fraternity directly involved or who had knowledge of the occurrence be prohibited
from living in the SPE house . . ." The undersigned Committee, appointed by Chairman Halsey at the meeting of the Executive

since the first boxing team was organized at Charlottesville. It is still a source of considerable
pleasure and pride, to me, that I was a member of that first team. I am also happy to have been Captain
of two of Virginia's successful teams in the early 'twenties, and the University's representative
on the American Olympic Boxing Team, to Paris, France during 1924. At the meeting of the Compliance Committee held April 7, 8, and 9 at Savannah, Georgia it
was voted to extend until July 1, 1949 the date by which it will be necessary for you to advise us
in regard to compliance with the Code. If you are intending to take steps which will result in compliance,
it is still necessary that these steps be taken prior to September 1, 1949. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Department of Medicine. The word "clinical" is used in some titles and omitted in the titles of
others who have similar responsibilities and salary arrangements, residents have been listed in
the announcement as instructors without approval of the President or Board of Visitors, there has
been no designation for research workers on temporary appointments and paid from funds obtained
from outside sources. Your Committee, consisting of the Rector, Barron F. Black, Thomas B. Gay and E. C. Anderson,
Chairman, have had the subject of this report under consideration for more than a year. On
May 13, 1949, the Committee recommended that an office of publicity, public relations and fund-raising
be created and that a suitable person be found to direct all activities of this office. Up
to the present time, it has not been possible to find a person qualified to assume the position,
and, therefore, your Committee offers the following suggestion as a substitute and as a method for
carrying on the work begun by the Development Fund until a more permanent arrangement can be made. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

The Corcoran Gallery of Art to present a formal request that the University of Virginia be so gracious
as to provide space in its art museum building for a selected group of the most valuable
works of art in the collections of The Corcoran Gallery of Art in the event that the international
situation seems to require the removal of these irreplaceable treasures from the city of Washington.
It is my understanding, based on two discussions with you and with Mr. O'Neal, the Acting
Director of the Museum, that this action would be endorsed by you provided that we release the
University from all liability for loss or damage from any cause whatsoever to any of the works of
art which might be housed in the University, and provided further that the University would not
incur any expense in connection with the transportation or housing of the works of art in question.
Both of these above points are completely satisfactory to the Gallery. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

our son who attended the University of Virginia, I am making the following written request for
the use of the funds donated under contract of May 12, 1950, which funds become available for
use to the University of Virginia after the death of both Mrs. Case and myself After carefully reviewing the history of the development of the teaching of Architecture at
the University of Virginia the following facts appear to be of special significance I enclose herewith a recommendation from Professor Fitz Patrick that the Division of
Architecture of the McIntire Department of Fine Arts be changed in status in the University
to the McIntire School of Architecture. I have discussed the matter with him and I heartily
recommend that the change be made. Report of Committee on Award of Bayly-Tiffany Funds. Authority is requested by officials of Mary Washington College of the University of
Virginia to prepare a plan for the Board's approval to grant an easement of right of
way to W. C. Spratt over the college property from Virginia Route #3 to the property of
W. C. Spratt situated in Spotsylvania County Virginia and to obtain for the college an easement
of right of way over the property of W. C. Spratt which divides the college property.
Authority is further requested to prepare a plan or plans for the approval of the Board to

Corcoran Department of Philosophy and Psychology strongly recommended that they be established
as separate academic Departments. This recommendation is wholly in accord with the pronounced
trend of recent years in regard to such matters, and I heartily concur in it. Each of the
Divisions is amply large in both staff and enrollment to be a Department, they are housed in
widely separated buildings, and they function quite independently of each other You will recall that I have, in the past, had some correspondence with you in reference to the
Lynchburg Chapter of the University of Virginia Loan Fund, and as of September 30, 1953, you
forwarded to me a statement not only of the assets, but of the notes receivable. At one
of our Lynchburg Alumni Meetings of recent date, we unanimously passed a motion to the effect
that we desire that the Lynchburg Alumni Loan Fund be returned to our Chapter for deposit in one
of Lynchburg's banks in order that we may earn interest on the money when it lays idle as it has
in the majority of years since 1924, and we believe that by having it in a local bank we can use
this money to help students through University in many more cases, for as I informed you in past
correspondence, for so many years we did not realize that this fund was still in effect at your
office, therefore, would you please be so kind as to inform me as to the manner in which I
should approach you for the release of such funds to our chapter In reference to your request for an estimate on the renovation of the Wright cottage, see

of the Board of Visitors on May 14, 1954, it was given no special assignment, but was assigned as
its general objectives the betterment of student conduct, a study of disciplinary procedures, and
the promotion of good relations between the Students of the University and the Administration
When the Board met in special session on May 26, 1954, your Chairman was advised by several students
that they desired to meet with your Committee. Realizing that the special meeting of the Board
would consume that entire day and run into the following day, your Chairman, on the morning of
May 27th, advised the spokesman for the students that the Committee would be glad to meet with them
that afternoon, May 27th. However, your Chairman was informed that it would be impossible for the
students to meet with your Committee that afternoon, but that they would like to appear before the
full Board at its June meeting. That evening, May 27th, a mass meeting of students was held, and
the seven students who at their request appeared before the Board at its June meeting appeared on

of students who apply for admission, pay the ten-dollar application fee, are
accepted and assigned a dormitory room, and cancel at the last minute or just
fail to appear. Apparently the forfeiture of a ten-dollar application fee is
not much of a deterrent. Many of these students have made application elsewhere
and are simply holding the space here as something to fall back on if they should
not be admitted to the institution of their first choice. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

University that would be directly involved concerning the establishment under University administration
of a two-year college program at Wise, Virginia. I am glad to report that the Faculties
of the College and of the Schools of Education and Engineering, without a dissenting vote,
adopted resolutions approving in principle the establishment under University administration of
one or more University branches in which the first two years of college work would be offered under
regulations approved by the Faculties. I am glad to report, also that following this favorable
action by the Faculties, the question was referred to the University Senate for its consideration
and that at its January 4th meeting the Senate likewise adopted a resolution approving in
principle the establishment of one or more branches under the provision specified by the
faculties concerned. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

been authorized to borrow from current funds in the State Treasury $1,356,515.57 with interest at

fund or endowment established at the University of Virginia in recognition of his
conspicuous service to our country, especially in the field of public finance. We now have one hundred (100) Regional Scholarships for Virginians, which the
Scholarship Committee feels is quite adequate. However, funds for out-of-state
regionals have been very limited and the Scholarship Committee has been most anxious
to find ways of increasing the number of these awards, for the following reasons Mr. Runk and I have discussed various ways of operating the Cavalier Daily.
It is our opinion that it would be unwise to discontinue the current support of
the Daily by an assessment against the student body. The reason the fee was
initially instituted was because student subscriptions were limited largely to
entering students and one or two subscriptions per fraternity house. The older
boys just would not subscribe sufficiently to cover the operating cost. Confirming our conversation of this morning, we welcome the opportunity to
advise that the layout and design of the proposed Children's Rehabilitation Center
has been approved without qualification by representatives of the Clinical
Departments most concerned with the project, the Departments of Nursing Service,
Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Dietary, and the Hospital Administration.
It is the impression of all concerned that the building as designed is adequate and
admirably suited for the contemplated Children's Rehabilitation Program.
Functionally, it will provide for efficient operation both from a clinical and
administrative standpoint. The plans have also received favorable review by
informed individuals not connected with the University who have had extensive
experience in Children's Rehabilitation in the various specialized areas such as
clinical care, therapy, nursing and administration. The University Sports Club would like for you to request permission of the
Board for the Club to conduct sports car trials on Observatory Mountain sometime
early next fall. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Department of Nursing thought that the tuition in the Department should be
increased to that obtaining in the College of Arts and Sciences, effective
with the 1957-58 session. Confirming my conversation with you of several days ago, I am enclosing herewith
the last will and testament of Roy C. Moyston. You will notice that on page 5, Article
V (B) one-half of the community estate of Mr. and Mrs. Moyston and all of his
separate estate is left to the Jefferson Sponsors Fund for the use and benefit
of the Law Department of the University of Virginia, and if said fund be not
then in existence, then to said University of Virginia for the use and benefit
of the Law Department. Since the Jefferson Sponsors Fund is not in existence,
it is my interpretation that the money in question goes to the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia, a corporation, and should be handled
by the University of Virginia's attorney, Venable Minor. This is to advise you that the City of Falls Church proposes to offer the sum
of $100,000.00 for that tract of land in the City know as the Joseph H. Riley
tract, located at the corner of Park Avenue and Little Falls Street, containing
8.321 acres of land. The University house on East Range at present occupied by Dr. David C. Wilson
has suddenly become vacant as a result of Professor Wilson's resignation, effective
July 1st. In accordance with your request, I have given careful consideration to Mr.
Talbott's letter to you of May 21, 1956, asking for an opinion from me on the
admissibility of a male Negro applicant to the College of Liberal Arts of the
University of Virginia. The application is accompanied by credentials which
show him to be otherwise entitled to admission. The fact that the State of
Virginia maintains a liberal arts college for Negroes at Petersburg, under the
name of Virginia State College, has also been noted. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of The Rector, in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with the
following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Chancellor
Grellet C. Simpson, Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Howard,
Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Gravatt and Mr.
Smith. The University's Special Counsel, Mr. C. Venable Minor, was present during a portion of
the meeting and participated in discussions of the real estate transactions at Fredericksburg,
Falls Church, and Clinch Valley as outlined below. The present R.O.T.C. units at the University of Virginia, starting with the
Navy in 1940, have been organized at the request of the University. The enrollment
in these units is covered by public law. Enrollment is entirely voluntary. (This
is not the case at the so-called land grant colleges and universities). The first
two years (first year only for the Naval ROTC Regulars) a member may withdraw at
his own request. Approval of the resignation is accomplished at the Unit Command
level. Starting with the third year, ROTC members receive subsistence
compensation, and approval of the resignation can only be made at Departmental
(or delegated) level. At a meeting of the Nursing School Advisory Committee, with all members present
this morning, it was unanimously agreed that the plan of reorganization of the
Department of Nursing as a separate School of Nursing with the arrangements which we
have discussed previously, be recommended to you and to the Board of Visitors. To be
more specific, we should like to recommend that the Department of Nursing become The
University of Virginia School of Nursing, with a separate dean and with full academic
status as a separate school within the University. It would be understood that in
academic matters the School of Nursing would have complete autonomy, but that in
administrative matters effecting the Medical Center, the Dean of the School of
Nursing would answer to the Director of the Medical Center (the Dean of the Medical
School). Pursuant to their appointment by this Board in June, 1956, as its committee to
study the question of where the Northern Virginia branch of the University should be
located, the undersigned, as a first step in their inquiry, held a public hearing in
Alexandria on July 21, after issuing special invitations to the members of the General
Assembly in the area and the authorities of the several political subdivisions, as
well as general invitations through the press to the interested public, to attend and
assist the committee by giving it their views and such information as they thought might
be helpful. Thereafter the committee personally investigated the sites suggested,
interviewed those persons having particular knowledge of the different tracts, made
measurements of the time and distance of the several locations from the populous areas
and from the rural sections to be served, and considered the availability thereto of
public transportation, sewerage facilities, and water supplies as well as the
accessibility of the property by highway, and their situation with respect to the high
schools in Northern Virginia. I am writing you relative to the proposed plan for the construction of a new
dormitory housing approximately 176 students for which we have an appropriation
of $192,500.00. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at the University, convening in open session in Room 202 Rouss Hall, with the
following present: President Colgate W. Darden, Jr. and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett,
Gravatt, Greear, Hartfield, Howard, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and
Wheeler. Absent: The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr. and Visitor Gray. Most of the members of the
public present during the morning session were delegations and individuals who appeared before the
Board on behalf of various sites for the proposed Northern Virginia College of the University.
Several representatives of the press were also present. Confirming our conversation concerning an employee of Seward Forest who is sick
with cancer, the circumstances are as follows: The present regulation for admission of women students to Engineering calls for at
least 60 semester-hours credit and a minimum age of 20. This was passed by the
Board of Visitors sometime during the 20's so I wonder if it would not be well to
reconsider the matter since opinions have changed quite a bit since that time. If
you feel that it is advisable to present this matter to the Board of Visitors for
reconsideration, I suggest that the minimum age be changed to 18 so an outstanding
student who has completed two years of college elsewhere may be considered for admission.
I agree with the requirement of 60 semester-hours as I do not believe it would be
advisable for a girl of 16 or 17 to make the transition from high school to
college in a predominantly boys' school. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler. Chancellor Simpson and Mr. Woodward, Bursar
of Mary Washington College, were present from 9:00 to 9:30 to discuss matters
relating to the College, and Mr. L. Burwell Gunn and Mr. Donald Willcox of the
State-Planters Bank were present from 10:10 to 11:00 to discuss the current
investments of the Consolidated Endowment Funds. At our regular Council meeting held on January 7, 1957 I presented
the plan which I discussed with you on December 24, for the widening of
Jefferson Park Avenue from its intersection with Main Street back to
the Hospital entrance. Enclosed is a copy of the proposal of the Committee on Private
Practice of the Clinical Staff of the Medical School. This proposal has
been reviewed by the Dean and approved by him, and I went over it
yesterday with Dr. Vest. You will recall that before you left for your trip around the
world I mentioned that the Committee on Contractual Relations was
considering a new type of insurance provided by the Teachers Insurance
and Annuity Association. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, was present during the
discussion of the College budget. I have your letter of March 28, 1957, requesting my opinion in
regard to the above captioned matter, and I have given careful
consideration to the correspondence enclosed therewith. It is my
understanding, however, that the University is not interested in the
arguments as to whether or not the J.A.G. School will have to obtain
and pay for a license to dispense beer, but is interested in whether
or not it can legally consent to the issuance of such license for
sale of beer on University property. My opinion will therefore be
confined to that point. Board of Visitors' action on the attached indenture is in order,
and I suggest that the Board consider a motion to instruct its
Secretary to communicate to Mr. Edward S. Handy, in care of Mr. Junius
Fishburne of the Peoples National Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia,
their satisfaction over, and acceptance of, the provisions of the deed. In further reference to our telephone conversation of a few days
ago in regard to the exchange of the University and Equitable Realty
Corporation, whereby Equitable Realty Corporation undertakes to convey
in fee simple to the University, a triangular piece of land lying along
the western boundary of the soccer field in exchange for a ninety-nine
(99) year lease from the University of another triangular parcel
adjoining the first, I am enclosing herewith a plat of the properties
to be exchanged, on which the property to be conveyed to the
University is designated as Parcel A and marked in blue, while the
parcel to be leased to Equitable Realty is designated Parcel B and
marked in red. At the direction of the Assembly of Professors of the University
of Virginia I have the pleasure to transmit to you herewith a resolution
passed by this body at a recent meeting. As you doubtless know this
body is composed of all members of the University faculty of
professorial rank. I am confident that the sentiments expressed in
this resolution accurately express the feelings of the University
faculty Word has reached the faculty of the Graduate School of Business
Administration that you have expressed the intention of resigning
from the presidency of the University within the next two years. At
a meeting of the faculty of the School held on February 27 it was
unanimously voted that I be instructed to write to you on behalf of
the faculty and respectfully ask you to reconsider such a decision
and remain in office for the full term of your office. We have just had a meeting of the law faculty at which concern
was again expressed about your consideration of resignation. I am
writing for myself and my colleagues, and at their direction, in saying
that this would be a great misfortune to the University and to us
personally. We heartily endorse the resolution of the Association of

absent, has not yet taken his seat upon the Board. I had been looking forward to having an opportunity to come to the
University this fall and to discuss with you the John Langbourne Williams
Memorial Fund about which I wrote you under date of January 18, 1955. As
a result of Elizabeth's illness I was not able to carry out my plan. I
provided in my letter that if I did not by December 31, 1956 designate
how the income from this fund was to be used, the income was to be used
for the general purposes of the University. Since I would like it to be
used for a special purpose and since I have not for the reason mentioned
been able to discuss it with you, I am writing this letter to set forth
how I would like for this fund to be handled. If it is not satisfactory
in every particular, I shall be delighted to come to the University some
time next year to discuss it with you. . . . Another subject has come up which I desire to present to you At a meeting with Mr. Malcolm Luck, Secretary of the University of
Virginia Alumni Association, Mr. Knox Turnbull, Secretary of the Alumni
Fund, Mr. Vincent Shea, Comptroller of the University, and myself, we
agreed on January 31, and by subsequent letter approved, to recommend
that In the light of recent discussions with Mr. Shea, Mr. Stacey and Dr.
Bobbitt, I should like to request approval of a revision of the
compensation arrangements in the Department of Clinical Pathology designed
to bring them more nearly in line with scale in other schools and with
the Department of Pathology in this school. It is proposed that all
earnings from private ambulatory patients be segregated in a special fund
in the Bursar's Office in the name of the Department of Clinical
Pathology, that costs to the hospital for the maintenance of these
services be paid from this fund and the remainder be used to supplement
the salaries of individuals in the Department of Clinical Pathology, the
limits on these salaries to be the same as those in the Department of
Pathology, namely, the old pre-clinical scale plus up to 50%. Any
surplus remaining is to used at the discretion of the Department. I have had some conferences and correspondence during the past
several weeks with Charles E. Wheeler of Easton, Maryland, local counsel
for this estate, with regard to the preparation of the second
administration and distribution account and the Maryland estate tax
return. REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE As Secretary of the Faculty I have the pleasant duty of enclosing
the resolution which was adopted by the Faculty of Mary Washington
College at its regular meeting on Monday night, May 13. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

dormitories will be greater than the revenue. I believe that we should
raise our charges $25 per student for all accomodations. This would make
the charge in the new dormitories $200 instead of the present $175. Basis for the request for an increase in the Student Health Service
medical fee from $20 to $25 beginning in the Session 1958-1959. At a called meeting of the University Senate on October 3, 1957 the
following programs were presented for final review and were approved. I

of the Board to reduce the library fee has been sent to you. Based on
this opinion, I should like to recommend that the Board be asked this
Saturday to reduce the library fee from the present $20.00 to $6.00, and
that it be made applicable to all students enrolled. Based on the
estimated enrollment next session of 5,000, this will yield $30,000, an
amount more than adequate to cover the principal and interest charges. May I take this opportunity to submit the attached proposal for
revising the statement of fees on pages 34 and 35 in the catalogue of
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. If these proposals meet with
your approval, would you please submit them to the Board for their
action if this is necessary. I enclose copy of Mr. William Hanckel's letter concerning the

work out an arrangement whereby she would sell the University 39 acres
less 9.818 acres. This 9.818 acres she will agree to sell the
University when she desires to upon giving the University 90 day notice. Your special committee on the Paunch issue of The Spectator submits
its report herewith. You asked us to determine whether or not this issue
of The Spectator discredited the name of the University of Virginia, and
if so, whether to a degree sufficient to warrant your bringing the matter
before the Student Council. I send you this note to confirm the views expressed to you in our
talk a few days ago about the Spectator. Since Mr. Carlson, the Editor,
is not eligible to continue the direction of the magazine, because of
academic probation, you will be required to appoint a new editor and
approve the staff selected by him. In doing this I wish you to bear in
mind that though you act as the Board chosen by the Jefferson Society
which owns Spectator, you act also as representatives of the University.
In fact as in the public understanding, a magazine published by a student
group at the University, using University buildings and under the control
of a society of the University with long and distinguished history, has
an important sanction from the University. The public may with reason
judge the University accordingly. The University's reputation is dear to
all of us who serve it and love it. It is not the property of one small
group to be dealt with in the uncontrolled judgment of that group,
however honest that judgment may be. Our mutual friend and benefactor, Mrs. Preston Davie, has now given
each of our institutions a work of art. To the University in 1956 came a
small (25 3/8″h × 19 1/2″w) portrait of Raleigh, and to the Museum in
1957, a larger (45″h × 32 1/2″w) portrait of Burke. The official
appraisals by French and Company are. Raleigh $7,500, Burke $8,500. I
enclose photographs of each portrait. 1. The Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Foundation has recently adopted the following resolution. That there be
established "not later than the college year 1959-60 the Thomas
Jefferson Foundation Fellowships paying $1,500.00 per annum plus
tuition, in general along the lines set forth in the Memorandum of July
10, 1957, from Mr. Oron J. Hale, Chairman of the Department of History,
to Mr. Colgate W. Darden, Jr., President of the University, and
contribute up to $5,000.00 per year towards such Fellowships, with the
understanding that this Foundation would match the amount put up by the
University up to $5,000.00 and would, if Fellows of the desired type in
sufficient number can be obtained, put up additional amounts, it being
contemplated that the Foundation would in such case contribute at least
$15,000.00 per year towards the expense of these Fellowships and quite
possibly even more in the future." 1. The Corcoran Department of History recommends appointment
of Dr. Dumas Malone as Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History,
effective July 1, 1959, and that during the session 1958-1959, when Dr.
Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University, he be
appointed Visiting Professor of History in the University of Virginia.
The terms of the appointment are those stated in the "Resolution For The
Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation," of
which paragraph one specifies the grants and salary to be paid to
Professor Malone by the Foundation. Salary and Foundation grants will
amount to $15,000 annually. I concur with the Department of History in recommending that Dr.
Dumas Malone be appointed Visiting Professor of History, without salary,
for the academic year 1958-59 beginning July 1, 1958. During this
time, Dr. Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University.
It is my understanding that he will receive a supplemental research
grant from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. I transmit to you the recommendation of the Corcoran Department of
History, with my concurrence, that Dr. Dumas Malone be appointed Thomas
Jefferson Foundation Professor of History effective July 1, 1959, for a
term of three years, at a twelve month salary of $7,500 per year. I take pleasure in quoting the resolution unanimously adopted at a
meeting of the University of Virginia Law School Foundation October 11,

suggestions they had on the location of the auditorium authorized by the Assembly last
winter. The committee at Wise has two recommendations first, that Mr. Charles B.
McElroy be employed as architect on the gymnasium-auditorium, second, that the gymnasium-auditorium
be located on the site between the Coeburn Road and the building now used for
faculty apartments (the Old Detention Home) I should like to recommend two changes in the present TIAA-CREF annuity program, which
should be presented to the Board if you approve. The Student Council wishes to submit the following traffic control recommendations for your
consideration I am enclosing a revised copy of the regulations governing use of motor vehicles by students
in the undergraduate schools of the University as approved unanimously by the Committee on
Undergraduates at its meeting on Friday, May 30, 1958. This meeting was also attended by Miss
Tyson from the School of Nursing and Mr. Nichols from the School of Architecture. I strongly
recommend adoption of these regulations by the Board of Visitors and propose that they take
effect with students entering in September, 1958. I feel that those sections dealing with
warning, probation, and conviction of drunken and/or reckless driving should become effective
for all undergraduate students in September, 1958 The Student Council at its meeting on May 19, 1958, unanimously passed the following
motion. To recommend that all students who register cars have compulsory insurance As you know, Prof. Vyssotsky is retiring this June. Approximately 25 years ago he
requested permission from the University to build a home near the observatory. President
Newcomb advised him that he would bring the matter to the Board of Visitors and secure a
lease for him. Mr. Vyssotsky said that he checked several times with Mr. Carruthers, who
was then Secretary of the Board, to see if any action had been taken. He was assured that

in his majesty's name to require you presently uppon the

uppon an execution granted to Mr George Moxon by the
Jury against the said John Woodcock for an action of
slander: and that you keepe his body in prison of irons until
he shall take some course to satisfie the said George
Moxon: or else if he neglect or refuse to take a ready
course to satisfie the said execution of £6 13s 4d granted
by the jury that then you use what means you can to put
him out to service and labor till he make satisfaction to the
said Mr George Moxon for the said £6 13s 4d, and also to
satisfie yourself for such charges as you shall be at for the
keeping of his person: And when Mr Moxon and yourself
are satisfied, then you are to discharge his person out of

from the basement of a stately mansion, in the Federal
City, impatiently awaiting her master's return from the
Capitol. The hour for dinner had struck, and the punctual
Senator Langdon had not taken his seat at the table. And,
that day, of all others, the President's daughter, Alice
Randolph, was to dine with Miss Edith Langdon; and the
day following, Miss Randolph was to be Miss Langdon's
principal bridesmaid. The Honorable Henry Blount—for
he was a member of the House of Representatives, whilst
his venerable father occupied a seat in the Senate—was on
that day to espouse the beautiful Edith in St. John's Holy
Church. And the daughter of the President of the United
States was now with the affianced maiden in her boudoir. “Dear General—I think it probable the Resolutions will
not pass the Convention. Be upon your guard. It may
not be safe to leave your own lines. An attempt has been

greatest danger. If you can rely upon Colonel Snare, who,
I am told, commands the regiment at the President's Mansion,
warn him that a conspiracy is in existence to arrest

that you cannot remain long in Washington—and I would

heavier blast than usual shook the slight frame house.
The windows rattled in the casements, as if shivering in
their dumb way in the December storm. So open and
defective was the dwelling in its construction, that eddying
currents of cold air found admittance at various
points—in some instances carrying with them particles
of the fine, sharp, hail-like snow that the gale was driving
before it in blinding fury. “Dear Mother:—I arrived safely, and am very well.
I did not, yesterday, find a situation suited to my taste,
but expect better success to-day. I am just on the point
of starting out on my search, and when settled will write
you full particulars. Many kisses for yourself and the
little girls. Your affectionate son, “My dear Wife:—Perhaps before this reaches you,
our best friend, our human saviour, will be in heaven. There
is a heaven, I believe as I never did before; and when
Mrs. Fleet prays the gate seems to open, and the glory to
stream right down upon us. But I fear now that not even
her prayers can keep him. Only once he knew her; then
he smiled and said, “Mother, it is all right,” and dropped
asleep. Soon fever came on again, and he is sinking fast.
The doctor shakes his head and gives no hope. My heart
is breaking. Marguerite, Mr. Fleet is not dying a natural
death; he has been slain. I understand all his manner
now, all his desperate hard work. He loved one above
him in wealth—none could be above him in other respects
—and that one was Miss Ludolph. I suspected it, though,
till delirious, he scarcely ever mentioned her name. But
now I believe she played with his heart—the noblest that
ever beat—and then threw it away, as it were a toy instead
of the richest offering ever made to a woman. Proud fool
that she was; she had done more mischief than a thousand
such frivolous lives as hers can atone for. I can write no
more—my heart is breaking with grief and indignation.” “Would Miss Ludolph be willing to come and see a
dying woman? “I have been compelled to supply your place in your
absence: therefore your services will be no longer needed

entirely unexpected, either to Helmine or myself. I
should, perhaps, have less faith in the sincerity of your
attachment if you had not already involuntarily betrayed
it. When I say that although I detected the inclination
of your heart some weeks ago, and that I also saw it was
becoming evident to my sister, yet I refrained from mentioning
the subject at all until she came to me last evening
with your letter in her hand,—when I say this, you
will understand that I have acted towards you with the
respect and sympathy which I profoundly feel. Helmine
fully shares this feeling, and her poor heart is too painfully
moved to allow her to reply. Do I not say, in saying
this, what her reply must be? But, though her heart
cannot respond to your love, she hopes you will always
believe her a friend to whom your proffered devotion was
an honor, and will be—if you will subdue it to her deserts—a
grateful thing to remember. We shall remain in
Warsaw a fortnight longer, as I think yourself will agree
that it is better we should not immediately return to the
castle. Jean, who must carry a fresh order already, will
bring you this, and we hope to have good news of Henri.
I send back the papers, which were unnecessary; we
never doubted you, and we shall of course keep your secret
so long as you choose to wear it. MR. EDITOR,—If you ever read
the “Burroak Banner” (which you
will find among your exchanges, as
the editor publishes your prospectus
for six weeks every year, and
sends no bill to you) my name will
not be that of a stranger. Let me throw aside all affectation
of humility, and say that I hope it is already and not
unfavorably familiar to you. I am informed by those who
claim to know that the manuscripts of obscure writers are
passed over by you editors without examination—in short,
that I must first have a name, if I hope to make one. The
fact that an article of three hundred and seventy-five
pages, which I sent, successively, to the “North American
Review,” the “Catholic World,” and the “Radical,”
was in each case returned to me with my knot on the tape
by which it was tied, convinces me that such is indeed the
case. A few years ago I should not have meekly submitted
to treatment like this; but late experiences have
taught me the vanity of many womanly dreams. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

a Tuberculosis Sanatorium sufficiently close to the Medical
School of the University of Virginia for effective cooperation,

Director of the Sanatorium to teach the problems of tuberculosis
to the students and nurses of the medical department of the

as may seem suitable to the Medical Director; the Medical
School of the University will on its part affiliate with the
sanatorium, and promote the work of the sanatorium in so far
as such promotion and affiliation is compatible with the other
objects and duties of the Medical School and the University
Hospital. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

invitation of the committee. The professors of the University of Virginia, in
special conference assembled, desire to call your attention
to the following facts, too well known to require
argument: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of a preamble and
resolutions presented to me on November 3rd and again
signed on November 5th by a committee representing a conference
of the gentlemen of the faculties of the University.
I need hardly say that I am in enthusiastic accord
with the general purport of these resolutions both as regards
the substantial increase of salaries and the
policy of not attempting further new expansion in the
University until a just and adequate salary arrangement
for the present staff is attained. The purpose to bring
about this increase is the most steadfast purpose in my
mind, and has been all along for twelve years as I have
seen the staff increase from twenty-eight to seventy-eight
by process of promotion rather than succession,
and particularly since last April when with then no certainty
of surplus funds I recommended and the Board added some
$8000 to be appropriated for salary increases. I shall,
therefore, both as your colleague and as a member of a
committee appointed by the Board for the purpose, give to
these resolutions my most earnest and sympathetic consideration,
and I shall take pains to see that the committee
of the Board and the Board itself see and consider
them. I confess to some disquiet and some unhappiness
in the matter. Naturally, I would desire not only to
support but to lead in a movement to grant a petition
containing so much of justice and signed by so many
thoughtful and unselfish men. I am determined whether
the Legislature grants the request contained in the
budget or any part of it or none of it, to recommend with
insistence that a new salary basis of 25% increase be
entered upon here this year effective for the current
session, and it is my judgment that the Rector and Visitors
also hold this purpose quite definitely, though,
of course, I have no authority to forecast their action.
With me the necessity for such action is a matter of
supreme educational policy. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart,
Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent
and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M., with intermission for lunch, followed by a
session on the morning of the 12th which convened at 9:30 o'clock. At a meeting of the members of the Board of Trustees
of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers
presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of
the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's
cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical
and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums
now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required
eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry,
physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning
with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the
University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums
for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years
the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure
of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed
dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for
the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be
and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in
location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of
$103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the
State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the
Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds
were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of
course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a
lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Attorneys of 31 Nassau Street, New York City, acting for the Estate of
Thomas F. Ryan, deceased, addressed a letter to Mr. Newcomb, in which
these gentlemen stated that since the provision of paragraph X of
ARTICLE FIRST of Mr. Ryan's will, giving a net income of $3000.00 per
year for the Thomas F. Ryan Scholarships was educational in its nature,
and therefore perpetual, the Trustees under Mr. Ryan's will,
namely— Messrs. William C. Potter and Clendennin J. Ryan, were
anxious to be relieved of the duties of administering the capital
fund from which this income is to be produced, and they have
asked that Mr. Newcomb would consider the advisability of having
The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia substituted
as Trustee of said fund in the place and stead of the Trustees named
in said will. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

No. 1-28-B, 381 45/55 shares General Motors Corporation Common stock as a
dividend on 21000 shares duPont Common stock held in that account. The
general rule is that dividends of this nature constitute income which is
properly distributable to the beneficiaries of a trust. Acting on the
theory that the general rule applied in this instance, we communicated with
you for advise as to whether you desired to have the General Motors stock
distributed to you or whether you preferred having us sell the stock and
distribute the proceeds thereform. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

will a portion of his estate was left to the University, and at said meeting
the following resolution was adopted. "The Executive Committee feels that the faculty should be substantially enlarged
just as soon as possible. I was advised when at the school that definite arrangements
had been completed for the addition of one member to the faculty. This is
a start, but there whould be two or three more additions just as soon as possible.
I have written Dean Eager to this effect and have sent him a copy of the report
which I made, which he will doubtless show you. The Executive Committee hopes
that you will find a way to make the substantial additions to the faculty which
we regard as necessary to enable the law school at the University to maintain
and augment the enviable position it has enjoyed in legal education since the
the days of the great Minor." | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of Virginia to request you to authorize them to create a deficit in the sum of $25,000
for the construction of the West Extension of the University of Virginia Hospital, putting
this additional $25,000 as a recommended appropriation in your Budget to the General
Assembly of 1940. This means that the Legislative Appropriation of $250,000 for the
construction of this building would be increased to $275,000. Mr. Frederic W. Scott became chairman of the Finance Committee of this Board in 1921 and
continued in that position until his death in October, 1939. During this long period of eighteen years
Mr. Scott gave his great ability and large experience to the investment and management of the funds of
the University that are under the control of this Board. You asked me last Friday to send you and each member of the Finance Committee of the
University of Virginia Board of Visitors a copy of a portion of a letter written by me last
August 18th to Mr. Fred W. Scott in which I summarized certain figures in regard to the handling
of the Endowment Funds of the University in past years. I am, therefore, quoting below all of
the letter which I read you that concerns the above matters omitting only certain personal matters
contained at the end of my letter. At the request of the Rector, I am submitting herewith a statement upon the
subject of the authority, duties, and liabilities of the Board of Visitors in connection
with investment of funds belonging to the University, primary consideration being given to
the question of whether the Board of Visitors shall be confined in making investments of
University funds to so-called "lawful investments" or whether, in the exercise of a sound
discretion, the Board may, without liability to its members, place the funds of the
University in securities not included within the list of such "lawful investments" as
defined by Section 5431 of the Code of Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

in reference to the matters under consideration. At this meeting of the Board, a

and he has requested me to write you and ask you to initiate the action
necessary to call a special meeting of the Board of Visitors to reconsider
their action rejecting the proposal to admit male veterans as day
students at the Mary Washington College. The Governor feels that the
action of the Board of Visitors is directly at odds with the policy of the
State Board of Education and the policy he has set forth himself in regard
to veterans education. If there are male veterans in the vicinity of
Fredericksburg, married or single, who would find it more convenient to
attend Mary Washington College, the Governor feels that they must be
allowed to do so. Since the time remaining before the opening of the
Fall term is short, the Governor urges you to re-open this matter with
the Board as soon as possible. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1777-1852 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | A biography of John Randolph, of Roanoke | | | | Published: | 2008 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | On the 10th of January, 1800, Mr. Randolph made his maiden speech on Mr.
Nicholas's resolution for reducing the army. In the course of his remarks, he applied
the term "raggamuffins" to the soldiery in general. On the following night,
while he was seated in a front row of a box at the Chestnut street theatre, in
company with some friends, members of the House, two officers of the army or
navy, in an adjoining box, just before the curtain rose, began to vociferate to the
orchestra, "Play up, you d—d raggamuffins," and repeated it at intervals during
the performance. The friends of Mr. Randolph, apprehending some mischief
or personal insult, sat closely on each side of him, and put him on his guard.
At the conclusion of the piece as they arose to depart, Mr. R. felt some one
seize him by the hair of the head from behind and give him a violent pull, that
nearly brought him down on his seat. Turning suddenly around, he found the
two officers standing close by, when he asked, "Which of these two d—d rascals
did that?" No answer was returned, and his friends, taking him between
them, retired to their respective lodgings without further molestation. The next
day Mr. Randolph wrote a letter to the President, in which he complained of
this treatment by two officers of the army or navy (he did not know which),
with evident intention to provoke him to a course of conduct which might, in
some sort, justify the hostile designs they entertained towards him, from the execution
of which they were only deterred by the presence of several of his friends.
He stated that he was acquainted with the name of one of these young men,
who appeared to have so false an estimate of true dignity of character, who
seemed to have mistaken brutality for spirit, and an armed combination against
the person of an individual for an indication of courage. He was called McKnight,
rank unknown. Mr. Christie, a member of the House, appeared to
know him; and that gentleman, with Capt. Campbell Smith, who, as he understood,
endeavored to deter those rash young men from their scheme, and whose
conduct would evince, if, indeed, there were any need of proof, that the character
of the man and the citizen is not incompatible with the soldier, can give an
account of the various instances of misconduct which were exhibited by the parties. As the enclosed letter
from a member of your body, received by me on the night of Saturday, the 11th
instant, relates to the privileges of the House, which in my opinion ought to be
inquired into by the House itself, if anywhere, I have thought proper to submit
the whole letter and its tendencies to your consideration, without any other
comments on its matter and style. But as no gross impropriety of conduct
on the part of officers holding commissions in the army or navy of the United
States, ought to pass without due animadversions, I have directed the Secretary
of War and the Secretary of the Navy to investigate the conduct complained of,
and report to me without delay such a statement of facts as will enable me to
decide on the course which duty and justice shall appear to prescribe. Your note handed to me last night by Mr. Goode, in which
you say, `understanding that the friends of the administration and others will
support you for the Senate in opposition to Mr. Randolph, you desire to understand
distinctly whether they have my consent, or not; and if not, request me to
say whether I will not abandon the chair of state at this time, to accept a seat
in the Senate,' deserves and shall have a candid reply. Let me premise that I
am unacquainted with the political preferences of those disposed to sustain me
for the Senate. Suffice it to say, that my political opinions on the fundamental
principles of the government are the same with those espoused by Mr. Randolph,
and I admire him most highly for his undeviating attachment to the constitution,
manifested at all times, and through all the events of a long political life; and
if any man votes for me under a different persuasion, he most grievously deceives
himself. Yon ask me whether I have yielded my consent to oppose him.
On the contrary, I have constantly opposed myself to all solicitations. I desire most
earnestly to be left at peace. There is no motive which could induce me to
seek to change my present situation for a seat in the Senate at this time. I
cannot admit that to be one in a body of forty-eight members is to occupy a
more elevated station than that presented in the chief magistracy of Virginia.
My private interests, intimately connected with the good of my family, are
more highly sustained by remaining where I am, than by the talked-of change.
There is then no consideration, public or private, which could lead me to desire
it. From the first to the last, everywhere and to all with whom I have conversed,
this has been my uniform language. Your last inquiry is one, which,
urged by those who felt disposed to sustain me, I have constantly declined
answering. Propriety and a due regard to consistency of deportment require
me to decline an answer now. Should the office, in opposition to my wishes (a
result which I cannot anticipate), be conferred upon me, I shall then give to the
expression of the legislative will such reflection and pronounce such decision as
my sense of what is due to it may seem to require. These explanations might
have been had by each and all of you, gentlemen, verbally if you had sought to
have attained them in that way, which might possibly have discovered a greater
degree of confidence in me. But as they are now given, you are at liberty to
use them in any mode you please, reserving to myself a similar privilege. We take great pleasure in complying with the wishes of a number
of the members of the Legislature and citizens of Richmond, to ask the favor of
your company to a dinner at the Eagle Hotel, to-morrow, at 5 o'clock, as the
best mode they can adopt to evince the high sense they entertain of your distinguished
public services, and firmness in maintaining the principles of the Constitution,
and resisting the mischievous measures of an infatuated administration. The feebleness of my health admonishes me of the imprudence
I commit in accepting your very kind and flattering invitation, but I am unable
to practise the self-denial which prudence would impose. I have only to
offer my profound acknowledgments for an honor to which I am sensible of no
claim on my part except the singleness of purpose with which I have endeavored
to uphold our common principles, never more insidiously and vigorously assailed
than now, and never more resolutely defended and asserted. Your very kind and flattering invitation found me confined by
a painful and distressing disease, which only leaves me power to express my
sense of the honor done me, and my regret at being unable to partake of the
hospitality and festivity of my Prince Edward friends, to whom I am bound by
every tie that can unite me to the kindest and most indulgent constituents that
ever man had. "In the name of God—amen. I, John Randolph, of Roanoke, in the county
of Charlotte, do ordain this writing, written with my own hand, this 4th of
May, 1819, to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others whatever.
I give my slaves their freedom, to which my conscience tells me they
are justly entitled. It has a long time been a matter of the deepest regret to me,
that the circumstances under which I inherited them, and the obstacles thrown
in the way by the laws of the land, have prevented my manumitting them in
my lifetime, which is my full intention to do, in case I can accomplish it. All
the residue of my estate (with the exceptions herein made), whether real or
personal, I bequeath to William Leigh, Esquire, of Halifax, attorney at law, to
the Rev. William Meade, of Frederick, and to Francis S. Key, Esquire, of
Georgetown, in trust for the following uses and purposes, viz. 1. To provide
one or more tracts of land, in any of the States or Territories, not exceeding in
the whole, four thousand acres, nor less than two thousand, to be partitioned
and apportioned by them in such manner as may seem best, among said slaves.
2d. To pay the expense of their removal and of furnishing them with the necessary
cabins, clothes and utensils. 3d. To pay the expense, not to exceed four
hundred dollars per annum, of the education of John Randolph Clay, until he
shall arrive at the age of twenty-three, leaving him my injunction to scorn to eat
the bread of idleness or dependence. 4th. To pay to Theodoric Bland Dudley
ten thousand dollars. 5th. With the residue of said estate to found a college,
to be called Roanoke College. I give to Theodore B. Dudley all my books,
plate, household and kitchen furniture, and all my liquors; also my guns and
pistols, and the choice of six of my horses or brood mares, and my single
chaise, with my best riding saddle and valise. It is my wish and desire that my
executors give no bond or security for the trust reposed in them. In witness
whereof, &c., &c. * * * * "I hope you have not exposed yourselves to the inconvenience of
any debt, however small; but I know this is an error into which youthful heedlessness
is too apt to run. If you have escaped it, you have exercised more
judgment than I possessed at your age, the want of which cost me many a
heart-ache. When any bauble caught my fancy, I would perhaps buy it on
credit for twice as much as it was worth. In a day or two, cloyed with the
possession of what, to my youthful imagination, had appeared so very desirable,
I would readily have given it to the first I met; but, in disearding it, I
could not exonerate myself from the debt that accrued, the recollection of which
incessantly tormented me. Many a night's sleep has been broken by sad reflection
on the difficulty into which I had plunged myself, and in devising means
of extrication. At the appearance of my creditor I shrunk, and looked, no
doubt, as meanly as I felt; for the relation of debtor and creditor is that of a
slave to his master. It begins with the subjugation of his mind, and ends with
that of his body. Speaking of a promiser (and every creditor is a promisemaker,
and too often a promise-breaker), you cannot be too much upon your
guard against them, unless you are sure the performance is in your power, and
at the same time will conduce to your honor and benefit, or those of another.
* * * * The courage which enables us to say no to an improper application,
cannot be too soon acquired. The want of it has utterly rumed many an amiable
man. Do not, through false shame, through a vicious modesty, entrap
yourself into a situation which may dye your cheeks with real shame. As to
the promiser, he is like the keeper who puts his head into the lion's mouth
to amuse the spectators. This he did frequently and got it safely out, till at
last the lion, in a fit of ill-humor, bit it off. Your word ought to be dearer to
you than your head. Beware how you put it into the lion's mouth. * * * A
liar is always a coward." "One of the best and wisest men I ever saw, has often said to me, that a
decayed family could never recover its loss of rank in the world, until it left off
talking and dwelling upon its former rank and opulence in the world. I have
seen this verified in numerous instances in my own connexions, who, to use
the words of my oracle, will never thrive till they become poor folks. He added,
`they may make some struggles, and with apparent success, to recover lost
ground, they may get half way up again, but are sure to fall back, unless, reconciling
themselves to their circumstances, they become poor in form, as well as
in fact.' The blind pursuit of wealth for the sake of hoarding, is a species of
insanity. There are spirits, and not the less worthy, who, content with an
humble mediocrity, leave the field of wealth and ambition open to more active,
perhaps more guilty competitors. Nothing can be more respectable than the
independence that grows out of self-denial. The man who, by abridging his
wants, can find time to cultivate his mind, or to aid his fellow-creatures, is a
being far above the plodding sons of industry and gain. His is a spirit of the
noblest order. But what shall we say to the drone whom society is eager to
shake from her encumbered lap—who lounges from place to place, and spends
more time in Adonising his person, even in a morning, than would serve to
earn his breakfast—who is curious in his living, a connoisseur in wines, fastidious
in his cooking, but who never knew the luxury of earning a meal? Such
a creature, sponging from house to house and always on the borrow, may still
be seen in Virginia. One more generation may put an end to them." * * "I have been up since half-past one. Yesterday I dined by accident at the
Union in Georgetown with Mr. K. (Key), and though I had toast and water, I
missed my milk. I drank, too, at the earnest recommendation of some of the
party, some old port wine, which has done me no good. My dinner was the
lean of a very fine haunch of venison, without any gravy, and a little rice.
Since it began to rain I have felt as restless as a leech in a weather-glass, and
so I sit down to write to you. On Saturday I had a narrow escape from a
most painful death. Wildair dashed off with me on the avenue, alarmed at a
tattered wagon-cover, shivering in the wind, and would have dashed us both to
pieces against a poplar, but when she was running full-bent against it, and not
a length off, by a violent exertion of the left heel and right hand, I bore her off.
There was not the thickness of half a quire of paper on which I am writing,
between my body and the tree. Had I worn a great-coat, or cloth boots, I must
have touched, perhaps been dragged off by them. * * * *
In the course of my life, I have encountered some risks, but nothing like this.
My heart was in my mouth for a moment, and I felt the strongest convictions
of my utter demerit in the sight of God, and it gushed out in thankfulness for
His signal and providential preservation. `What,' thought I, `had been my
condition had I then died? As the tree falleth, so it must lie.' I had been but
a short time before saying to a man who tried to cheat me, some very hard and
bitter things. It was a poor auctioneer, who had books on private sale. He
attempted to impose upon me in respect to some classical books of which he
was entirely ignorant, and I exposed his ignorance to people in the shop, many
of whom were members of Congress, and no better informed than him. The
danger I escaped was no injury to the speech which I made, out of breath, on
finding, when I reached the House, that there was a call for the previous question.
So true it is, that of all motives religious feeling is the most powerful.
I am reading for the second time an admirable novel called `Marriage.' It is
recommended by Scott in his `Legend of Montrose.' I wish you would read
it. Perhaps it might serve to palliate some of your romantic notions (for I despair
of a cure) on the subject of love and marriage. A man that marries a
woman he does not esteem and treat kindly, is a villain. But marriage was
made for man, and if the woman be good-tempered, healthy (a qualification
scarcely thought of now-a-days), chaste, cleanly, economical, and not an absolute
fool, she will make him a better wife than nine out of ten deserve to have.
To be sure, if to these beauty and understanding be added, all the better. Neither
would I quarrel with a good fortune, if it has produced no ill effect upon the
possessor." "As I have recommended Marriage to you (the book I mean), this digression
on genealogy*
*He gave his own genealogy.
may remind you of Misses Jockey, the agreeable sisters. You
entirely misapprehend my mode of life. I am very rarely out of bed after 9
o'clock, and when I exceed that hour, it is not at evening parties. Last night
I was seduced by a book to go beyond that hour a little. * * * The other day I
dined at the French minister's. It was Saturday, Madame De N.'s (De Neuville's)
night. At half past 7 we joined the evening visitors, and at half past
8 I was snug in bed. To be sure I was politely reproached, as I was going
away, by the Count De Menou (Secretary of Legation), and since by his principal,
for going away so early; but my plea of weak health satisfied their jealousy.
This is felt, and shown too, by all here in the highest ranks of fashion.
Madame is charity itself. The poor will miss her when she goes away. One
of her sayings deserves to be written in letters of gold: `When the rich are
sick, they ought to be starved; when the poor are sick, they ought to be fed.'
This is no bad medical precept. Just as I mounted my horse on Monday morning at
Washington, your truly welcome and friendly letter was put into my hands. I
arrived here this evening a little before sunset, after a ride on horseback of thirty-five
miles. Pretty well, you'll say, for a man whose lungs are bleeding, and
with a church-yard cough, which gives so much pleasure to some of your New
York editors of newspapers. But to me, a horse is what a ship is to you. I
am never so easy as when in the saddle. Nevertheless, if a gentleman (we are
all gentlemen now-a-days) who received upwards of 300 pounds sterling for
me, merely to hand it over, had not embezzled it by applying it to his own use,
I should be a passenger with you on the 8th. I tried to raise money by the sale
of some property, that only twelve months ago I was teased to part with, lots
and houses in Farmsville, seventy miles above Petersburgh on the Appomatox,
but could not last week get a bid for it. I have known land (part good wood
land) sell for one dollar an acre, that ten years ago would have commanded ten
dollars, and last year five or six. Four fine negroes sold for three hundred and
fifty dollars, and so in proportion. But I must quit this wretched subject. My
pay as member of Congress is worth more than my best and most productive
property, for which a few years ago I could have got $80,000, exclusive of
slaves and stock. I gave a few years ago $27,000 for one estate, without a
house or a fence on it. After putting it in fine order, I found that so far from
making one per cent., or one half or one quarter of one per cent., it does not
clear expenses by about $750 per annum, over and above all the crops. Yet I
am to be taxed for the benefit of wool-spinners, &c., to destroy the whole navigating
interest of the United States; and we find representatives from New
Bedford, Cape Anne, Marblehead, and Salem and Newburyport, voting for this,
if they can throw the molasses overboard to lighten the ship tariff. She is a
pirate under a black flag. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

call by the Rector a meeting of the Visitors was held at the
University of Virginia at which were present the following
Visitors to wit: Joseph C. Cabell, Rector, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph, Andrew Stevenson, and R. M.T. Hunter. The
session continued thro Friday the 31st October & part of Saturday
the first of November- After a thorough investigation
of the matters which occasioned their convocation the following
proceedings were had by the Board. The very high trust confided to the Visitors of the University
by the people of the state, & the very great importance
of reestablishing public confidence in the institution, induce
me, under existing circumstances to request the members
of the Board to give their attendance at the University on
Thursday the 30th Inst: My object is to invite an immediate
& more careful investigation by the Board itself of the administration
of the office of Proctor for some time past, which
I think due not only to the best interests of the Institution
but to the officer concerned. I am led to this conclusion
by communications which I have received from the gentleman
employed to settle the proctor's accounts, & from others since
the last meeting of the Visitors which will be communicated
to the Visitors when they assemble. I trust that the meeting
will be full and that it will eventuate in a manner satisfactory
to the Board & to the officer concerned. Permit me
to remark that as such may be the result it is advisable not
to give publicity to the cause of the meeting until it shall
have taken place. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

called for Wednesday the 17th October 1849 did not assemble
till Thursday the 18th when Joseph C. Cabell, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph and Andrew Stevenson appeared and a Board
was organized: In obedience to a resolution of the Board of Visitors
of the University of Va. I have examined the Books of Alex:
Garrett, Bursar, from the 31st May 1848 to the 1st June 1849,
and find all his charges supported by vouchers, except 25
cents paid for a blank book. I find two small errors in his
addition amounting to 5 cents. The discrepancy between his
books and those of the Proctor on the 1st June 1849, occurred
by his not having paid and charged a warrant drawn by the
Proctor on the 14th May in fav. of P.S. Duval for $111. This
warrant he charges on the 2d June, after his Books were balanced.
When this entry is brought into his account, his books will
shew a balance on hand less than the balance shewn by the
Proctor's books of $6.78 after the Proctor gives him credit
by the 25 cents paid for the blank book. The discrepancy of
$6.78, I am told happened some years past and it still exists
as shewn by the statement on this sheet. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and James L. Carr. who constituting a quorum, were called
to order by the Rector, On motion of Mr Joynes it was After carefully considering the Preamble & Resolution
of the Board adopted in regard to my relations to the University
in the matter of Compensation, I am obliged to say that
they have caused me very great pain, & have left me in
serious doubt as to the purposes of the Board, so far as
they may be gathered from the Preamble & Resolution themselves.
They seem to me to be at least strongly suggestive
of a future too uncertain to be relied on, while the preamble
places me in the most unenviable aspect before the
Board, as coming voluntarily before them to assert rights,
on my part, & deny rights on theirs, & in a way that disconnected
from the circumstances & qualifications does hardly
do me justice. Having these views & feeling, I have considered
it right, & a duty to myself respectfully to request
the Board to say if they should think fit whether it is their
purpose to give me warning of the insecurity of the provision
made for any compensation, & of the revocation of the arrangement
with me to the effect of denying the instance of
any fair right on my part to expect it to continue substantially
in existence, or whether I may understand that apart
from all technical interpretations, I may look for the
continuance of the arrangement so long as the policy of the

Visitors met today at 2 oclock P.M. present T.J. Randolph,
Rector, J. R. Edmunds, J. B. Baldwin, M.R.H. Garnett, Wm.
J. Robertson and James Neeson, Wm. J. Joynes, Visitors when
the following proceedings were had. I feel it to be due to myself, and to you, my
associates in the Board of Visitors, to lay before you, at
this my earliest opportunity, the accompanying correspondence
which has recently taken place between Professor Harrison
and myself. I present copies only, holding the originals,
so far as in my possession, subject to the call of the Board.
It will be seen that the subject of this correspondence is
a letter written by Professor Harrison to Alexander Rives Esqr.
Senator from Albemarle County, in the Virginia Legislature. Having understood that a letter written
by me to Alex Rives Esqr and designed to be private, had
given offence to some members of the Board of Visitors, I
wrote to a friend a note, which he was authorized and directed
to show to Mr Edmunds, then in Richmond. The object of that
note, as set forth in the note itself, was to do what I considered
only right and just to do, by disclaiming any purpose
to give by the letter referred to any offence to any
member of the Board of Visitors or in any way to impugn the
motives which may have prompted their action. Regretting
as I do, that any expression should have been used by me
that was susceptible of such construction. I avail myself
of the opportunity afforded by your request to repeat to
you directly what I said to him through a friend and to
authorize you to make such use of it as may be consistent
with the only purpose and end of the explanation now given. A special meeting of the Board of Visitors of the
University of Virginia, having been called to meet at the
University this day by the request of three of the members
viz Messrs Edmunds Tucker and Robertson, the following
gentlemen appeared: T. J. Randolph Rector, J. R. Edmunds
J. B. Baldwin W. T. Joynes and J. R. Tucker visitors
When the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the adjourning order of 19th of March.

I request permission to resign the Chair which I now have the
honour to hold in that institution. I desire this resignation
to take effect at the end of the session, or at the option of
the Board, any earlier period, at which the vacancy can be
permanently filled. I prefer the request under an earnest conviction
that it is my duty to yeld to the wishes of a great
number of my fellow citizens who have called upon me to become
a candidate for the approaching State convention. I
trust that it is unnecessary for me to assure the Board, of the
reluctance with which I have taken this step, My duties at
the University afford ample scope for the gratification of
all my tastes and my whole ambition; and the steadily increasing
number of my students furnish the most satisfactory
evidence that not withstanding much misapprehension as to the
character of my instruction, it commands the confidence and
approbation of the community at large. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

be relieved from service in this capacity and I have often

have no right to presume that it will be your pleasure to continue
me in this position, I respectfully ask that you will,
by the appointment of another, relieve me from duties which
may be better discharged by some other member of the Faculty. I beg leave to imform you that the present is
the eighth week of a painful and most serious illness, which
has not only kept me confined to the house during that time,
under the constant attention of my physicians, but which this
morning finds me so perfectly helpless, that I cannot even

June 25th 1872 Your Committee on Grounds & Buildings beg leave to report
that they have made such an inspection as seemed to them necessary
to the discharge of the duties, and regret to say that
they have found much delapidation in the buildings and great
disfigurement in the grounds. The buildings are out of repair
in various particulars, but more especially in the roofing
of the terrace, and the "Dawson Row". The grounds are checkered
with paths that are unsightly & entirely unnecessary. Your
Committee are aware that the repairs desirable would require
an expenditure beyond the revenue of the Institution at present
but they recommend that provision be made for putting in order
the roofs referred to, as the damage already serious is becoming
worse every day and further delay in the matter will
involve heavier cost. They are also apprised of the difficulty
of preventing the short cuts across the ground but they nevertheless
are of the opinion that the evil can be corrected by
active attention and they therefore recommend that the Proctor
be required to put in operation every expedient practicable
to this end. The Committee on the Library respectfully report that
upon inspection they found the Library in good condition
there are many suggestions that might be made with a view
to its improvements- such as the procurement of glass doors
for many of the cases for the protection of the books, and others,
but the financial embarrassment of the University is such as
to render the requisite appropriations therefore inexpedient
at this time. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournement last night. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the communication of the Rector covering an extract
from the Report of the Faculty asking that authority be given
them to withdraw the Miller Scholarship from the scholar, whenever
in their opinion he is not making proper use of its benefits;
it is resolved that in the opinion of this Board it is
expedient that the authority asked for by the Faculty be given
them. The Committee of finance appointed by the Rector on the
29th of June 1874 submit the following report: The undersigned respectfully reports that he has personally
examined the Library and he has found everything connected
therewith in excellent condition and it gives him pleasure
to hear testimony to the evidences of faithful discharge of
duty on the part of the Librarian. Your Committee respectfully report that they have inspected
the grounds & public buildings and are gratified to state they
are in improved condition generally. The grounds are no longer
disfigured by paths but present the appearance of a well kept
lawn. And the buildings are in a fair state of preservation.
The committee with pleasure say that everything practicable
seems to have been done to make the best show in and about
the University. Your Committee respectfully reports, that they made a full
and particular examination so far as they were competent, therefor,
of the Laboratory of the University and of the Philosophic
Apparatus in charge of Prof. Smith, and that the inventory required
by law from Professors Mallet and Smith are herewith returned

University of Virginia held at their office at the University
of Virginia on the 28th day of June 1875. University of Va. The Committee on Finance offer the following report. The undersigned as Committee on the Library respectfully
reports that he has made a careful inspection of the Library-assisted
by Mr. Wertenbaker, and he found its condition all
that could be desired under the circumstances. The Management
and arrangement of this department reflects the highest credit
on the venerable and efficient Librarian. Your Committee respectfully report that in the performance
of their duties they have made such an inspection of the grounds
& public buildings as their opportunities have made practicable
and they are gratified to be able to state that both are in as
good condition as could be expected or required under the circumstances.
The Grounds exhibit evidence of careful attention
and the Buildings show that every effort within the means of
the Proctor has been made to preserve them, and to prevent as
far as possible the decay inevitable from the want of the necessary
repairs. In this connection Your Committee will inform
the Board that they have called upon the Proctor to furnish
them an estimate of the amount necessary to put the Buildings
& Grounds in perfect order with a view to such action by the
Board as will secure this sum, and they respectfully suggest
that the General Assembly should be called for an appropriation
for this purpose. Your Committee are aware of the consequences
involved in any appearance of the University before the Legislature
as an applicant for assistance, but they can but think
that this body would recognize the necessity for preserving
from loss the investment which the state has made here, and
would accordingly provide the requisite funds. Your Committee
therefore recommends that the executive Committee should be
authorized to apply to the Legislature for an appropriation
for this purpose, should they upon inquiry deem it judicious
to do so. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present
the same members as on yesterday with the exception of Mr.
Carrington, absent. Your Committee on Apparatus respectfully report, that the
inventories required by law from Professors Mallet and Smith
have been returned and no appropriations asked for. Allow me through your body to present to the
University the polygraph used by Mr. Jefferson for the last
twenty years of his life. In reserving for publication many
thousand of these letters, they were found accurate facsimiles
of his hand writing: no error except where the record pen was
caught by some irregularity in the paper. When extricating itself
with a spring it missed a few letters leaving space for
them. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

to permit them to change their boarding houses without requiring
them to give up their rooms. We referred their application
to the Faculty who advised that no change should be made in
the ordinance; we therefore declined to accede to their request. At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the
University- The Committee on the Library respectfully report that upon
a personal inspection of the Library, they find the Books well
preserved, and the cases and other furniture in good condition.

as to the reconsideration of the resolution adopted with
respect to the School of English, which reconsideration I requested
in my statement already submitted, I have the honor
to request that the matter be laid over until the next annual
meeting of the Board, Within that time your Hon. body can
examine more carefully into the objections made as to the
conduct of the School, & I can have the opportunity of removing
any that in your judgment, may really exist. In the
mean time, I should be obliged for any suggestions as to
change in the course of instruction, which I shall endeavor
to carry out. I have in my statement indicated certain
changes in the position of this school with respect to the
degrees which would greatly benefit the school, if adopted
by your Hon. body. I feel confident, that under such circumstances
all objections would be satisfactorily removed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the Board on July 2d how gratefully I appreciate the considerate
courtesy with which you have been pleased to treat me
at your last meeting. A trifling accident, however, has
since led me to ask an additional favor at your hands, which
I am sure your keen sense of justice will not deny me. It is
this: In the first copy of the resolutions concerning me,
the Secretary had said. `Your testimonials have removed'.
Subsequently a change was made, so as to make the line read:
`have largely removed,' implying that the impression of inefficiency
on your minds was to a certain degree, still resting
there. This is very grievous to me. I had surely thought
that the testimonials I had laid before you would entirely
remove any such impression. As this has unfortunately not
been done, I think you will not blame me if I most respectfully
request to be informed of the charges brought against
me, and of the persons by whom they are brought forward.
`Audiatur et altera pars' is a rule which seems to apply to
this case also. I have so far abstained from asking any questions,
although this reduced me to act in the dark, and defend
myself against unknown adversaries. But now, I am naturally,
and I hope excusably, anxious to remove those painful impressions
entirely, and to prove myself not unworthy in any way
or degree of the generosity of the Board. I have the honor

in annual session this 12th day of June 1893. Knowing as you do, my physical condition you
will not be surprised at the contents of this letter. My
work during the session of the University, has hitherto embraced
a daily lecture of an hour and a half besides multiform
incidental engagements. My son's assistance has been
very valuable to me, and to the students, but without much
lightening my labors. Now however, the state of my health
will oblige me to devolve on him a more important part of
the instruction in the school of Common and Statute Law,
than thus far has falled to his share, and I desire to submit
to the Board of Visitors, through you, the propriety of
enlarging his compensation to the sum I believe originally
proposed for my assistant, namely $1500. Your Architects beg, 1st To acknowledge their error in
the assumption that aught but your appreciation of their position
could lead to their relief. Having learned that you desire to know whether in
my opinion, Mr Jas H. Gilmore, Jr. has manifested such an acquaintance
with the law as to warrant me in signing his diploma
should the Board signify a willingness to admit him to the degree,
I would answer unhesitatingly yes. Mr Gilmore's daily
recitations were more than usually satisfactory, as were also
his intermediate examinations, averaging above 5/6 the And his
answers to the questions propounded for the degree (which were
given privately, but under due safeguard), amounted also, to
more than 5/6 ths. Gentlemen, The Committee on Finance respectfully reports
that the Proctor's annual Report and the settlement made by
the Commissioner of of Accounts show a balance in the hands of
the Proctor for the fiscal year ending June 15th 1893 of $5125.66.
This sum does not include $1275.00 which is a part of the appropriation
made to the Library last year and which was not expended.
This latter sum stands on the Proctor's books to the credit
of the Library fund. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

son, Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., we, the Committee appointed by the
Board of Visitors to consider and report upon all matters pertaining
to the School of Law in the University, hesitate to
recommend him for re-election as your assistant for the ensuing
session. We are informed, however, that your son, Mr. Raleigh
C. Minor, is in vigorous health, and that he is now assisting
you in your summer school. We desire to recommend him to the
Board as your assistant for the ensuing session at a salary of
Fifteen Hundred Dollars. We trust you will appreciate our position

high value upon the work done by Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., in
your classes so long as his health continued good. We greatly
regret to learn of his pain for some months past, and we
trust that he may speedily be restored to perfect health.
We desire to ask through you whether Mr. Raleigh C. Minor
will accept the position of assistant in your school, and
as we are considering the propriety of establishing a new
chair in the School of Law, we will deem it a favor if you
will kindly suggest the subjects to be assigned to the new
chair if established. We hand you, herewith, an outline of
a scheme of reorganization of the School of Law that we are
considering, and we would be glad to have you give your views
of the same. With sentiments of high esteem, we are We have maturely considered your views in relation
to the School of Law in the University, and have given them the
weight that we feel your opinions on such a subject are entitled
to. We have also consulted medical experts as to the
prospects of the ability of Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., to give
you such assistance during the ensuing session as we deem it
necessary for you to have, and we are strongly advised that
there is but little probability of his being able to do so. Yours of this date is received, and whilst I desire
to make my cordial acknowledgments for the kindly spirit manifested
towards myself, as well as towards my son John, I am
obliged to confess that it occasioned me not a little concern
in respect to what I conceive to be the interests of the University,
as affected by the creation of another professorship.
A multiplication of teachers is frequently, if not generally,
a curtailment of instruction. I trust it will not be so here. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of Virginia commenced this 10th day of June 1895. Dear Sir, I received on yesterday a copy of the resolution
of the Washington Association of the Alumni. Upon Profr
Schele De Vere's resignation and severance of his connection
with the University of Virginia, the Board of Visitors had no
further power to adopt any measure for his financial relief,
nor can they, without betraying their trust, expend the institutions
money, except for such purposes as are prescribed by
law. The resolution will be laid before the Board at its
meeting in June. And the Visitors approve in every respect the reply of of the
Rector and in doing so they put upon record that no further
evidence has been adduced or offered in refutation of the
charges made against Profr Schele De Vere and the Visitors
are therefore left no course other than to reaffirm their
action in accepting the resignation of said Profr Schele De
Vere. Your Committee to whom was referred the matter
of sewage beg leave to report that after a conference with the
Committee of the town Council of Charlottesville they are of
opinion that a special Committee should be appointed from this
Board with Profr Echols from the Faculty to further consider
the matter and report to the July meeting of the Board. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Present: The papers accompanying the foregoing report as a part
of it read as follows: I have the honor to submit to you a report of the financial
transactions of the University, for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1897. As preface, permit me to say, that my
lamented predecessor and myself were close friends and comrades
in arms during the war. Both on the field and in Camp
Green Peyton was always, and everywhere a brave and efficient
soldier. Wherever placed in life, he proved himself a man of
intellect, attainments, energy and force of character. His
ill health for many months before his death, together with the
increased work incident to the receipt and disbursement of a
large restoration fund, caused his accounts to be left in an
unfinished condition. Thoroughly conversant with the peculiar
character of the University accounts, by a service as Proctor
for twenty seven years, he found no need to record many facts
which were safely stored in his own mind, but not immediately
accessible to a new incumbent. So, too with a memory singularly
tenacious, he left no correspondence for he felt the
need of none His cash-book and ledger were his letter-press
and letter-file. Resolved: That in view of the unusually onerous duties
imposed upon the Secretary of the Board since the destruction
of the University Buildings by fire in the fall of 1895, the
said Secretary be paid the sum of $150. in addition to his
regular salary. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment
on yesterday. The Special Committee on investigation of the Proctor's
office, University of Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

ordered might be carried out on these consistent lines. Will you kindly give me the following information: Answering your favor of the 15th inst. I beg to submit

of Virginia called by the Rector and held in pursuance of notice,
on the 17th day of February 1898, University of Virginia,
March 17th 1898. As chairman of the University I take pleasure in reporting
that so far this session the health and general conduct
of the students have been extremely good, and I take
still greater pleasure in reporting that they have met their
financial obligations in a way that leads me to hope that the
deficiency caused by the action of the Legislature can be
largely made up in this office. To the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia,
Gentlemen: In view of the contemplated dedication of the
new buildings in June next it is absolutely imperative that
the Board should decide now what sum of money it can appropriate
for this celebration. This sum should be appropriated
and made available at once, as the Joint Committee on celebrations
can do nothing until they know exactly what sum is at
hand. The celebration is but a part of the necessary advertising
of the University and in view of all the circumstances
should be as liberally provided for as possible. I have just received a letter from my brother, stating
that you have a meeting of the Committee and Board of Visitors
on March 17th. The final certificate has been sent, and
you also have our bill in full. In reply to your request for figures for the connecting
arcades on the University of Virginia, will say that we will
construct the two arcades connecting the Academical with the
Mechanical and with the Physical buildings, for the sum of
$1250.00 each. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the University of Virginia held at the University on the 13th
of June 1898. You may recall that last summer a part of the piece of
real estate owned by the trustees under Mr Austin's will was
taken by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for park purposes.
This left a small piece of the estate, containing about 5000
square feet, with restrictions against building on a part of
it, thus rendering the lot really unavailable. We have now
received an offer of $800.00 for this piece of land, which we
consider it would be advantageous for the estate to accept.
We have therefore prepared a petition to the probate court
for leave to sell the remainder of the estate. If this meets
with your approval will you kindly sign the assent to the enclosed
petition, and as the purchaser is in something of a
hurry, I would ask you to return the petition at your earliest
convenience. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment
on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday.
Present the same members as on yesterday, with the exception
of Mr Glass who was called home. I enclose to you herewith cheque for $20,000.00

Corporation, which was voted to you by the trustees on June
10th, 1898. With this gift goes a copy of the vote under

the nature and value of the Securities in which the estate
of Arthur W. Austin, of Milton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts,
is now invested, I have the honor to report that I corresponded
with Mr Bentley W. Warren, one of the Trustees of that estate,
and received from him a letter under date of Sep. 24 which I
herewith file, enclosing a statement of the Securities and their
value as of Sep. 18th which I also file. I sent a list of these
securities to Messrs W. H. Goadby & Co. Bankers, of New York,
and asked them to ascertain their values, and received from
them a letter under date of October 10th giving me the market
values of all, save the stocks of three National Banks, the
Boston and Maine RailRoad preferred stock, the East Middlesex
Railway stock, and the Ogden & Lake Champlain R. R. bonds.
The report of Messrs Goadby & Co confirmed the estimate of Mr
Warren, adding somewhat to the value of some of the securities.
I file herewith a statement showing the value of the securities
under Mr Warren's estimate, showing a gross market value of
$262,945. In this is not included the $80,000. invested in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Co. About this wrote Mr
Warren, asking his opinion of its value, but have no reply.
I should say from the statement furnished in Mr Warren's
letter that the real estate is worth about $50,000., and assuming
that the $80,000. in the Insurance Co. is worth its
face, the total present value of the Estate is $392,945. I am very sorry that the receipt of your letter
just after I had begun my vacation has prevented an earlier
reply to your inquiries relative to the investments in the
Arthur W. Austin Estate. Replying to your favor of the 30th ult., I
would say that in my opinion the $80,000.00 investment in the
Massachusetts Hospital Life Ins. Co. is undoubtedly good, and
that the University will receive the same when the same becomes
payable by its terms. We give below quotations on the securities
which we were unable to furnish in our last letter, viz= | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Trust Co. of this State, which you will please file as my report
on the loan of $12,000.00 to Messrs. A. W. Mosby and H.
E. DeWitt. I am sending you herewith, for the account of the Rec-
tor and Visitors of the University of Virginia: The Virginia Trust Company insists upon its charge of
$150.00 for its services with the loan of bonds to the National
Exchange Bank. Mr. Gilliam, President of the Bank,
took the position, in which I concurred, that $50.00 was a
fair amount for his bank to pay for this service, and, while
I feel that the charge of the Virginia Trust Company is somewhat
excessive, inasmuch as they have declined to reduce it,
I have authorized them to charge the account of the University
of Virginia with $100.00, in settlement of balance on
this transaction. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date, there being present only the Rector, and Visitors Craddock
and Harmon, an informal conference was held with the
President, and adjournment made subject to call of the Rector. University of Virginia,
April 10th, 1908. As you know from my reports to you of earlier date,
I have for some time felt the coming on of age, and the inevitable
necessity for laying down the responsibility of my
pleasant duties in the service of the University. I beg to acknowledge with sincere regret your communication
of March 16th, putting into my hands, for transmission
to the Visitors, your resignation of the Professorship of
Chemistry in the University of Virginia. I shall present to
the Visitors, at their approaching meeting, your formal letter
of resignation, with the request that they take such action
as they may deem fit and proper. It is with great regret that I feel compelled, by the
pressure of age, and resulting loss of health and strength,
to give up work in the service of the University of Virginia May I ask you to tender to the Rector and Board of Visitors
of the University, my resignation as Professor of Pathology,
to take effect September 15th, 1908, and also convey
to them my regret at being "compelled" by the insistence of
the call to a similar chair in my alma mater, the University
of Wisconsin, to leave the Medical school at this period in
its development. I send herewith the copyright
of the "Geology of Virginia" for the department of Geology
of the University of Virginia, for its use without limitation
as to time or other considerations. I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the copyright to
the "Geology of Virginia" for the Department of Geology in
the University of Virginia. I beg to renew our very sincere
appreciation of your great kindness and generosity. I believe
that the William Barton Rogers Chair of Geology here, since
the establishment of the State Survey at the University, is
destined to carry out in a noble way the original plans so
splendidly laid out by your husband. I now make my third and final report, acting under decree
in this cause of January 4th, 1908. This report embraces a
full and detailed account of the Receipts, Disbursements, and

of Virginia, at 2:00 P. M. on above date, in the President's
Office, In pursuance of our conversation, I have the honor to
request that I be granted a leave of absence from the University
of Virginia for the remainder of the current session, so
that I may spend this period in Europe. I would not make this
request if I believed that my absence would be detrimental to
the University of Virginia. I have been fortunate in procuring
the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope, of the University
of South Carolina, to fill my chair during my absence. Dr.
Wauchope is a Virginian, a graduate of Washington and Lee
University, and a Doctor of Philosophy of Johns Hopkins
University, and aprofessor of most successful experience. He
is a man of culture and refinement, an excellent writer,
and I am sure will prove an inspiration to the classes I
leave in his charge. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of
the 13th, inst., requesting a leave of absence from the University
for the remainder of the present session, and stating
that you have secured the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope
to serve in your stead. I am enclosing a correspondence between
Dr. Kent and myself which explains itself. I am sending the
correspondence to you with the request that you signify your
approval or disapproval of the request contained in Dr. Kent's
letter and approved by me, in order that I may inform Dr. Kent
and officially inform Dr. Wauchope. There is no question of
money involved in the transaction,- - that is to say, Dr.
Kent's salary will go on, and he will compensate Dr. Wauchope
for his services out of his (Dr. Kent's) salary, the University
budget arrangement remaining undisturbed. The essential
point, of course, is the essential fitness of Dr. Wauchope.
He is, from all accounts, a very valuable and interesting man.
His services will be from February until June, and I do not
believe any harm will come to the character of our teaching,
and some good from the interchange. I believe much good will
come to the Department from Dr. Kent's residence in Europe for
this period. It is a sort of Sabbatical year arrangement,
without cost to the Institution, that I heartily approve of. Upon application of Dr. Charles W. Kent, I have recommended
to the Rector and Visitors of the University that he
be given a vacation for the remainder of the session. As
you are aware, it is his purpose to spend this vacation
abroad. Dr. Kent, in making the application to me, recommended
most enthusiastically your name as a suitable incumbent
for the Chair for the remainder of the session of 1910. I have to report that about 12:30 o'clock on the morning
of the 8th of February, fire was discovered in the basement
of the Chapel. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of Virginia Endowment Fund, as in said resolution set
forth, on March 30, 1910, after having had a previous meeting
with Mr. Eppa Hunton, Jr., the Treasurer of said Alumni Board
of Trustees in Richmond, in order to arrange the various details
for the proper transfer of those of said securities which
were registered, the undersigned receipted to the Virginia Trust
Company for the following named and described bonds, and turned
the same over to said Hunton as Treasurer of said Alumni Board
of Trustees of the University of Virginia Endowment Fund taking
his receipts therefor in the words and figures following: viz.- Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector,
the bond with all unmatured coupons thereto attached. Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia, through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector
all of the above listed securities with all of the unmatured
coupons thereto attached. The Executive Committee of the local chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa requests that, unless you yourself see some reason for
not doing so, you will submit to the Board of Visitors, their
request that the Chapter be granted the use of one of the rooms
of the University, and would suggest as suitable for the purpose,
the unoccupied room on East Range in the building in which
Dr. B. W. Green now resides. We desire this room to keep in it
the records, library, photographs, and other property of the
Chapter, and for the use of the officers of the Chapter in the
discharge of their duties. I enclose herewith a formal contract prepared by Messrs.
Moon and Fife, relative to the removal of the track, &c., by
the Street Car Company. It has been executed by the Company,
and I have signed it as Chairman of the Executive Committee.
When this Company began the work, I was under the impression
that the Committee, composed of yourself, Dr. Lambeth, and
myself, had power to act in the matter; but it seems that the
power was vested in you gentlemen and the Executive Committee.
I will be glad if you will have this paper properly executed
at the meeting of the Board called for Saturday. I regret to
say it will be impossible for me to attend the meeting, as I
shall be out of town. On the 10th day of April 1908, the Board of Visitors of
the University of Virginia adopted a resolution that the petition
of the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway Company
for change of the location of its line be referred to you
gentlemen with authority to act. I enclose herewith a paper from Mr. L. T. Hanckel, President
of the Street Railway Company, making application for
permission to change the location and grade of the street-car
track as it passes over the lands of the University. The undersigned respectfully requests your honorable
body to permit it to change the location of its Street Car
Line running through the premises of the University of Virginia.
It is desired to change the location of its railway
line from its present one to a point lying north of the trestle
and south of the light and heating plant of the University
of Virginia,- the new line to be located at such point and
along such curves and grades as will be agreeable to and approved
by your body. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

the University of Virginia, having to do with the establishment,
of the University Observatory by Mr. Leander McCormick and the
endowment of the professorship and working fund in connection
therewith. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication
of June 11th, containing a presentation of the conditions
under which the McCormick Observatory was established at the
University of Virginia, and making certain suggestions as to
the future use of the observatory and the future conduct
of the astronomical work at the University. I had hoped
to be able to present that matter to the Board at their
June meeting, but by reason of circumstances beyond my control,
that meeting was not held, and it is not possible
to bring the matter before them before the early fall.
Your letter and all the facts must be brought before them and
a clear decision reached. The great majority of the Board
are men who have taken up service on the Board since these
matters were handled, and it will be necessary for them to
go back over the records and make a study of the situation
themselves. I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of
June 20th which has been forwarded to me. Please accept thanks for yours of the
3d. According to the records of the Board of Visitors of the
University, the duties of the Professor of Astronomy were to
be two-fold: 1st. To teach theoretical and practical astronomy:
2nd. To spend any remaining time in the use of the telescope. Enclosed please find a copy of the above mentioned
trust, the original of which is recorded and filed in the
clerk's office of the Albemarle Co., court, also an order
on the Albemarle Nat. Bank for the two bonds mentioned in
said document, the interest from which is to be devoted to
the scholarship. I have the honor to report that at their meeting of Nov. 7
last, the Academic Faculty approved the attached outline of a
proposal course in Public Speaking. By resolution the Faculty
recommended that the proposed course be approved by the

to that phase of my work this resignation should not become
operative until July 29th. It may be that I cannot be present
every day during the Summer School, but if agreeable

and ordered to be placed on record as follows: I beg to submit to you the following reports from
the Faculty of the Department of Graduate Studies of the
University of Virginia and the Faculty of the College of the
University of Virginia, the two comprising the Academic
Department of the Institution. I submit these reports
with my entire approval and endorsement. They are the
result of patient study of specially appointed committees
of these faculties extending over a period of two years.
They have been carefully considered and discussed by the
Faculties themselves in utmost detail. In some cases they
have been held up for months with a view of obtaining the
best information on all subjects connected with the curriculum
and the methods of teaching in modern colleges. They
have passed the Facilties of the Department of Graduate
Studies and of the College with practical unanimity. The
report of the Faculty of the Graduate Department is unanimous,
and the report from the Faculty of the College
comes to you with only one dissenting vote. The fundamental
purpose in these proposed modifications is to increase the
power, to elevate the standards, and to place on a surer
pedagogic basis all instruction given at the University of

I have accepted a position as research Chemist with the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, and I herewith
hand you my resignation as Professor of Chemistry, in
the University of Virginia, to take effect at the beginning
of the next collegiate year. I beg to acknowledge with very
profound and sincere regret your communication of the 19th,
inst., tendering your resignation as Professor of Chemistry,
in the University of Virginia. I wish for you in your new
position as research chemist with the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station every opportunity for the advancement of
your chosen field of work. You have served this University,
permit me to say, with ability and distinction during your
brief period of work here. You have made friends of your
colleagues and friends of your pupils, and all of us feel,
no one more than myself, that in losing you we are sustaining
a genuine loss both in the direction of scientific power
and personality. I appreciate the motives that have moved
you to this decision, and while I deeply regret that the
result is your separation from the work here, I can only
wish for you in this new field the abundant measure of
success you have achieved here. The trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund at a meeting held in New York on November 1, (1911)
adopted the following: The University of Virginia will undertake to
maintain a Department of Education upon which not less
than $10,000.00 a year will be expended for maintenance
per annum, provided the Peabody Education Fund will donate
the sum of $40,000.00 to the Rector and Visitors of the
University for the purpose of erecting a suitable building
for the home of this department. The University already
has in hand funds amounting to $7,000.00 a year that could
be used legitimately for this purpose. It would be necessary
for it, in order to carry out this proposition, to increase
this amount by the sum of $3,000.00. This it hopes to
be able to do in the next six months. It is, therefore,
suggested that that amount of time, at least, be allowed
the University of Virginia in which to meet the conditions
of this proposition. I have the honor to inform
you that the Executive Committee of the Foundation
at its meeting on June 8 voted to admit the University
of Virginia to the list of accepted institutions of
the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. I beg to acknowledge with very
great pleasure and satisfaction the receipt of your communication
of June 9th, wherein you inform me that the Executive
Committee of the Foundation at its meeting on June 8th, voted
to admit the University of Virginia to the list of accepted
Institutions of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching. I am gratified at this action of the Foundation,
not solely because it secures against want the old age of
men who have given their lives to an unlucrative but noble
profession, but in a higher sense because such action signalizes
the accomplishment by this University of a great undertaking
which it set out to bring to pass nearly seven years ago.
It now occupies a consistent and logical relation to the system
of secondary education with which it is allied, and it has also
concluded legislation by which it occupies consistent and logical
relation in its graduate school, to the college and higher institutions.
Such action of the Foundation is an added testimony
to the fact that standards of admission established have been
administered with integrity and good sense. I wish to express
to the Foundation assurances of our belief that the Foundation
has helped powerfully in enabling this University, and other
Universities in this country to establish and maintain such
standards as to unify the whole educational process. I too
hope that the relations between the Foundation and the University
may be one of material help and service in all educational development. We are forwarding to you today via Adams Express
thirty notes of $1,000.00 each, made by J. W. Hough and
Abner S. Pope, payable to the Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia. All of these notes bear interest
from Jan. 1, 1911 to Jan. 1, 1913, at the rate of three
per cent per annum, and after that date, at the rate of
six per cent per annum. The notes are as follows: I am very anxious to get your
advice and co-Operation in connection with the expenditure
of the income of the Phelps-Stokes Fund of which I am one
of the Trustees. This Fund, which amounts to about a million
dollars, was left by my Aunt, Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes,
with the understanding that the income should be used for
various educational purposes, but more particularly for advancing
the cause of negro education in the South. I have
had several conferences with out mutual friend, Dr. Dillard,
and I wish your specific opinion regarding the plan that we
have had under favorable discussion for creating fellowships,
endowed we will say at $10,000. each, at two or three
representative state universities in the South, such as the
University of Virginia, and the University of Georgia. The
Fellowship to be awarded by the proper university authorities
to graduate students whose time would be devoted to studies
on some phase of the negro problem. The administration of
the Fund, the selection of incumbents, etc., to be entirely
in the hands of the University authorities. I was greatly interested to have your
letter of the 29th, ult., and have been giving the matter
of your suggestion very grave thought. I have felt for
many years that a fundamental thing to do in this tangled
problem is to cause it to be scientifically approached by the
scholarship of the South. The thing to do is to take it out
of the nervous system of our people and their emotions and to
get it set up before them as a great human problem, economic
in nature, scientific in character, to be acted upon as the
result of broad, wise, sympathetic study. The time ought to
come when our best scholars will take pride in making contributions,
however minute, toward the handling of the great
question. I have no doubt that an endowed foundation of the
character suggested by you would be most acceptable to the
authorities of this University. I am a bit troubled about
just the right suggestion to make to you in regard to your
definite proposition for the creating of fellowships endowed at
approximately $10,000, and having for their primary purpose the
securing ultimately of a small group of trained men who shall giv
their life to the study and improvement of the negro conditions.
Let me explain a bit. I established here, at
Tulane University, and at the University of North Carolina
the first Professorship of Economics: Sociological subjects
were not being taught in Southern institutions. Even
Political Science, as a scientific subject, has no independent
status. We now have a very strong department of Economics,
and temporarily, a very able lecturer in Political Science.
Our full Professor of Economics, as you may know, is on the
Tariff Board, and his place is supplied by a veryable
fellow from Wisconsin. We have two full professors in the
Department of Education, and these departments make it a
point to emphasize the sociological aspects of education.
There is, however, no Professor of Sociology. It, of course,
is as yet an undefined and somewhat empiric science, but
there is a tremendous current of interest among our men in
the big questions affecting social betterment, the improvement
of rural life, the imporvement of industrial life, the better
governing of cities, questions of public health and sanitation,
and foremost among them, supreme in its importance, stands,
of course, the negro problem with all of its implications.
The ideal need here is a professorship in that great field,
giving to the negro problem its right place as the chief
subject of scientific study by our analytic minded scholars.
This, of course, means a good deal of money. The next in
order would be, it seems to me, a lectureship demanding much
less money, but devoted almost exclusively to the study of
the negro problem and the social betterment question, to
giving information to the young men, to giving the proper
bent to their minds, to stimulating their interest, to
developing in them right methods of approach to such a subject.
It seems to me such a lectureship logically precedes
the establishment of a fellowship. Out of such lectureship and
its activities would come such interest as to arouse young
men inside or outside of the University to strive for a prize to
be offered by us in the form of a fellowship or scholarship. W
the sum you mentioned, $500.00 a year would be yielded as
income. If $400.00 of this could be given to a man who would
come here and make, say, a dozen lectures and meet men in semina
ways; and then, if $100.00 could be made as a prize for the
best bit of research work in small fields at first-I mean small
as to area-the matter could get itself tried out, though on somewhat
too meager a basis. I hesitate for a moment, though I hate
to seem to hesitate a second in such a matter to establish an
independent Fellowship in such a subject when there is back of
it no clear instruction or stimulation in the great field which
the Fellowship would cover. My fear about it is simply that
the work itself would not get justice. The work would not yield
its best results. You may be sure I want this opportunity here.
Would it be possible to consider the proposition to increase the
sume just a bit so as to make the Lectureship and the Fellowship
co-existent? If such could be done it seems to me a new era
would be brought about in our best institutions in their
attitude toward this matter. Last year one of our professors
gave a course of talks on the negro, based on Weatherford's
book. It was astonishing the interest taken in the matter,
the book being used as a text-book. I heartily wish I could
talk with you about this matter, or with my friend,
Dillard. Instruction in such a matter is not only not
unwise, but most needed and would be welcome. I would
never want to see such a fellowship established here, unless
I saw fruitful results issuing out of it. I do not want it
to become a mere academic thing that in time would lose
its edge and become a mere formal prize. I hope you will
not reach any definite conclusion in the matter until in
some way we can talk it out, for it is a big question and
incapable of just solution by interchange of letters. I have the honor to inform you that at a meeting
of the Trustees of the Phelps-Stokes Fund held at the office
of Anson Phelps Stokes, 100 William St., New York City,
Wednesday, November 15, 1911, the following vote was passed: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

May 9th, 1912. In accordance with the authorization of the Trustees
of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, referred to in my letter of January
31st, 1912, I beg to enclose herewith our check for $6,250.00,
being payment of the balance of the Endowment Fund to create
a Fellowship for the study of the negro, under the terms
and conditions outlined in my letter of January 31st,
1912. The Board of Visitors of your Institution should,

Institution as they may elect, to make demands, monthly,
in the corporate name of the Institution upon the Auditor
of Public Accounts for the payments of the several funds
appropriated to your Institution. Copy of the resolution

draw warrants on the Treasury payable to the Institution
in its corporate name, which warrants will be mailed direct
from this office to such officer of the Institutions as the

have been voted to the following officers in the University
of Virginia, to be paid in the ordinary way through the

me that in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie
Foundation, retiring allowances had been voted to the
following officers in the University of Virginia to be
paid in the ordinary way through the University: Milton
Wylie Humphreys, $2050.00, Isaac Kimber Moran, $1460.00,
Ormond Stone, $2050.00. I have notified these gentlemen
of the action of the Foundation and beg to express to
you for them their very great obligations. When their
resignations are received by the Rector and Visitors, I
shall give you due notice. I am in receipt of a communication
from the Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching, which contains this statement,
"I have the honor to inform you that, in accordance
with your recommendation and in conformity with the rules
of the Carnegie Foundation, a retiring allowance has been
voted to Milton Wylie Humphreys, to be paid in the ordinary

Professor Stone will become effective on September 15,

with your recent letter, at my request, a retiring allowance
by the Carnegie Foundation, I beg that you will kindly
transmit to the Rector and Visitors my resignation as Professor
of Astronomy, to take effect September 15th, next. In doing
so I desire to express to you and the Faculty, as well as to
the Rector and Visitors my sincere thanks for the many
courtesies I have received during the thirty happy years
I have spent at this University. May I also express the pleasure
I have enjoyed in watching the growing spirit of progress
which during these years has gradually infused
the life of the University, especially during the eight
eventful years in which you have been its leader. I wish
also to express my pleasure in noting the growing realization
of the duty of the University constantly to readjust itself
in order that it may with ever increasing efficiency contribute
to the higher life of the people. In the firm
belief that this spirit and this realization will continue
to grow with the passing years, I lay down my work here with
pride that I have been privileged for so long a time to be
connected with an institution possessed of such splendid
traditions, and (what is more important) inspired by such
noble ambition to serve. With sincere personal esteem, I have the honor to inform you that the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has this
day notified me that a retiring allowance has been voted to
Isaac Kimber Moran to be paid in the ordinary way through
the University. This retiring allowance will become effective
on October 1, 1912. The amount accorded to you is $1460.00. It has been known to you for some months
past that I have had in contemplation the relinquishment
of the offices with which the University has so long honored
me. I hereby tender to you my resignation as Bursar
of the University of Virginia, and also as Secretary to
the Board of Visitors, to take effect on October 1st, 1912. I respectfully request that I be permitted to occupy
my present residence on University grounds, for the year from
October 1st, 1912 to October 1st, 1913, at the same rental
I am now paying; viz. $200.00 per annum. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

for the consideration of the Financial Budget for 1913-1914. The Committee on Entrance Building having made the foregoing
report, it was After the annual report of the Department of Engineering
had been made and forwarded to the President, it was
learned that Mr. J. S. Lapham, a graduate of this University
in Mechanical Engineering, desired an appointment on our
teaching staff. Mr. Lapham is a young man of unusual ability;
and, if his application had been received earlier, he would
undoubtedly have been engaged. It is not often that any
school has the opportunity of securing the services of a
man so eminently fitted by capacity, training, and character
to make a useful and accomplished University teacher. The
department is already committed to the young men nominated in
our report as instructors for 1913-1914, and cannot in good
faith, cancel any one of the nominations. On the other
hand, the opportunity is one which cannot be postponed; unless
Mr. Lapham comes to us, he will go into business with his
father, and such permanent changes will have to be made in
the details of that business as will prevent him from
accepting a position with us in the future. As you are already aware, I have recently sent to the
Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation a formal application
for retirement, feeling that after forty years of full
professional work and twenty-five years of active service
at this University, the time has come when it is wise for me
to take advantage of the provisions of the Foundation, I. We recommend that the sites on Carr's Hill for
fraternity houses, be at present restricted to four, and
that the northernmost site be located on a line passing
through the centre of the president's residence and the
centre of the president's stable, and at least as far
distant from the president's house as is the location of
the "Delta Tau Delta" house. Prof. Newcomb who is planning the plants for the
sewage purification, as directed by the State Board of Health,

the Commons Committee, entered into a contract with Charles
Jaimes Leasing the University Commons for the period of
one year. The terms of this agreement are exactly the
same as authorized by the Rector and Board of Visitors in
the spring of 1912, except that in lieu of a surety bond
guaranteeing the safe return of the University's property,
I accepted a $50.00 a month deposit with the Bursar of the
University. It was impossible for Mr. Jaimes to secure
the bond required, and I substituted this cash deposit
because I believed that the University's interests were
amply safeguarded thereby, and on account of the limited
time, it was impossible for me to wait for authority from
the Board. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date at three o'clock in the Administration Building. After consideration of the petition
of the University Cemetery Endowment Association, and the
estimate of the costs of the proposed addition, by the
Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, the Executive
Committee recommends the passage of the following resolutions: Some time after the return
of President Alderman, the Bursar, at the suggestion of the
President, consulted the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
as to what compensation the Dean of the University should
receive. Since July, Dr. Page had been receiving the
regular salary of a full professor, $3,300.00 and a house;
$350.00 as Dean, and $1,500 as acting President during
Dr. Alderman's absence,—a total of $5150.00 and a house.
After Dr. Alderman's return the Bursar was uncertain of his
authority to continue paying Dr. Page as acting president.
He asked advice of the President, who referred him to the
Chairman of the Executive Committee. The latter corresponded
with the other members of the committee, but it was decided
to defer action until the meeting of the Board of Visitors.
Since November the 1st, the payment of the salary of $1500.00
as acting president has been discontinued. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

President Alderman was also in attendance. The President announced
the following gifts to the University: I am writing for my Aunt to enclose
her check for Ten Thousand Dollars. She would like this
gift to be a continuation of her former gift for the
gate to be used for the improvement of the roads,
and in memory of Mr. Senff. I am very, very sorry that you cannot be with
me on Founder's Day, but I shall count most confidently on
having you in my home as my guest to see this place before many
months have gone by. Mr. Langhorne, of course, will want
you, but you must be with me for some portion of your time
here. I have just received and read with great
happiness and satisfaction your letter of March 23. I feel
sure that I can with entire propriety and satisfaction
treat the arrangement you suggest as a donation of $50,000,
and will be most happy so to do. It would be difficult for
me to tell you how much real strength and helpfulness you
are giving to the University of Virginia by this gift, supplying,
as it will undoubtedly do, a need so urgent and acute
that I have been at my wit's end to know what to do to care
for it. I am very glad to learn by your letter of
March 27th that my proposition to make the donation of
$50,000. in the form of a check for $25,000. and my note
for the same amount due and payable on or before January 5th,
1916, is satisfactory to you. About the 7th or 8th of April
I will send the check and note on to you. In the meantime I
will be glad if you will write me whether the whole of the gift
will likely be used for a single building and what part, if
any, will be used for laboratory equipment. I am, of course,
greatly pleased at the thought of being helpful to the University
at a time when its need is urgent. I note by your letter of March 31st that the
whole of my gift to the University will be applied to a laboratory
for chemistry. This is entirely agreeable to me and I
think now I shall, within two or three days, send you my check
for $50,000. instead of a check for $25,000. and a note for the
same amount. In compliance with my recent promise to
you I take pleasure in enclosing herewith my check # 66,
on Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, to your order, for $50,000.
This is a gift outright to the University of Virginia. I
understand it is your purpose to use the proceeds of this
check towards the erection of a building for a chemical
laboratory. In the purpose for which the donation is to be
used, in the fact that the donation is to the University
of Virginia, in the certainty that a large part of such
benefits as will come from the gift will go to the South,
my most earnest desires are fully met and under such conditions
I feel it a privilege to be able to make the donation. My
original plan was to make this gift on the occasion of your
return to the University last fall from your long illness but
the War interfered with my intentions. Your unselfish spirit
will, I know, excuse the delay. As Secretary of the Board of Trustees under the
deed of the late Samuel Miller I am directed to say that at
a meeting of the Board held this morning Mr. Ivey F. Lewis,
of the University of Missouri was unanimously nominated
to the Board of Visitors to fill the Chair made vacant by
the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle in the School
established under the provisions of the deed of Samuel Miller.
I am directed by the Board to request you to lay this nomination
before the Board of Visitors of the University of
Virginia for their action. RESOLVED: That this Board will at its June, 1915 meeting
make appropriation of the fund at its disposal, and in making
the nomination for the Chair made vacant by the resignation of
Professor Albert H. Tuttle it is the sense of this Board that
the Department of which the newly nominated Professor is to be
the head if elected by the Board of Visitors - should be reorganized
by the latter Board so as to carry out as far as
practicable with the fund available, the purposes of Mr. Miller,
and that this Board will hereafter proceed to appropriate the
entire net income of the Miller Fund to the support of the department
of which the new professor is to be the head. Some eight years ago, I notified the University that
in drafting my will I had inserted a clause bequeathing it
the sum of thirty thousand (30,000) dollars; the purpose of
the gift being the erection of a teaching building on the
grounds of the University; and that I had made this bequest
in response to a feeling of deep gratitude to the University
for the inestimable service it did for me during my student
days of long ago. I have your letter of April 3rd and thank you
for the kind expressions, &c. By an instrument in writing purporting to be a deed,
and dated May 10th, 1912, John Armstrong Chaloner states that
thereby he conveys certain real estate situated at Roanoke
Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina, to the University
of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina, jointly,
reserving to himself a life estate therein; and this instrument
is recorded in the Clerk's Office of Albemarle
County, Virginia, in Deed Book 150, page 136. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors
was held on this date with the following present: Armistead
C. Gordon, Rector, Goodrich Hatton, R. Tate Irvine, John W.
Craddock, Wm. H. White, G. B. R. Michie, Dr. W. F. Drewry,
Walter Tansill Oliver and Dr. Frank W. Lewis. I want to donate one thousand dollars to the
University because of my loyalty to her, and for what
she stands and has done - not that that sum is the measure
of my estimate of her worth or my admiration. I learn from the Bursar that the new schedule
of fees in Engineering announced in the catalogue will
have to receive your formal approval and be validated
by action of the Board of Visitors before it is put
into force. A special Committee of three appointed by the
Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association
to consider, with power to act, the question of financing
the Secretary of the Alumni Association and his office,
begs leave to announce to the Board of Visitors that it
has decided to recommend to the Alumni Association that
it guarantee the sum of $2500.00 yearly for three years,
which with the $1500.00 a year appropriated by the Board
of Visitors for the same purpose and which we assume will
be continued, will make $4000.00 a year, the sum estimated
sufficient to conduct this important work. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

following members present: Rector Gordon, Visitors Hatton,
Turnbull, Craddock, Michie, Lewis, Norton and Irvine. I am turning to you again as one turns to a
strong and trusted friend whose kindness and good will have been
the source of strength and comfort to me and to the University
in the past. The gifts which you have hitherto so generously
given have been devoted, as you know, to the purpose of inaugurating
a beautiful and satisfactory grounds and road system
throughout the University, including gateways and such road
building as tend to make the Institution more beautiful and modern
in appearance. This is a unique and distinguished form of benefaction
to the University which no one else has thought of, much
less attempted. We have made, I think, economical and successful
use of your last gift of $10,000, and the roads put down
are wonderful in their detail and in their effect. They are,
however, quite expensive. The soil basis here is stiff red
clay, and nothing will conquer it for all time except the best
and most enduring form of Travia road. It is really a great
macadam tied and made solid by the use of tar. It is such a road
as you find in the finest roads in the north. This road now
extends from the western gateway almost to the Fry's Spring
road where we hope to put another gateway. It branches off towards
the gardens and the Lawn. It covers nearly all of the
East Range road. As a matter of fact, however, the work cannot
be completed by that gift. In order to make the situation what
it ought to be, and worthy of the beginning, made possible
by your beneficience, I estimate that the sum of $15,000 will
be necessary. This, of course, might extend over a number
of years. I am wondering if it would be possible for you to
make us another gift of $10,000 for 1916-'17, which would
enable us to come very near completing the scheme in mind.
As I have indicated, it need not be given in one sum, or it
might be given in any set of payments that suit your convenience,
but if we had the knowledge of it, we could go about
consummating the work we have set our hands to under your
great generosity. I think the standard of dignity would
then be insured here for all time. A new gateway somewhat in
harmony with the one at the front entrance would also then be
placed at the Southern entrance where the new Chemical Laboratory
is to go which will make the main highway of the University
handsomely cared for. I am very glad to learn that your system
of roads is progressing so well, and I would like to complete
the work as you have outlined it in your letter, in memory of
Mr. Senff. The new wing of the hospital, made possible
by your beneficence is about completed. It is the handsomest
thing in its way in the whole University and makes of the
hospital a really efficient and powerful agency in our life.
I want to put a tablet on the inner walls simply recording the
facts of its gift by you, and adding any name or memorial
tribute that you would care to have on it. Would you mind
telling me just what you would like to have it called, and
any wording of the tablet that might suggest itself to you.
I want to send you a photograph of the building as soon as the
builder's debris is removed from about it. I have your letter of March 24th, and I shall
be very glad to give you ten thousand dollars more in order
to equip the Hospital. I hope you won't think me impudent or bold, or
lacking in delicacy if I bring this matter to your attention. I cannot see the slightest bit of impropriety
in your writing me of your need of $5,000. in order
to equip the new laboratory for "immediate and effective use."
On the contrary, I am very glad you did write me and I cheerfully
subscribe the $5,000. and will send it when you let me
know it is needed. You may be sure I was deeply touched and more
so than I could give owrds to by your expressed willingness
to increase your gift for equipment to $10,000, if it were
needed. In any event, of course, this equipment money will not
be vitally needed until early next spring, when it will be necessary
to make the building ready for use. In venturing to ask
you for the additional gift for the equipment of the building,
I naturally put the sum at the minimum, because I felt you
had done so much that I had no right to suggest anything except
a mimimum request; and, too, we are so accustomed to doing things
here on the mimimum basis that I felt that was all I dare present
to you. The extra $5,000 would, however, be of immense value
to us in adding real fullness and power to our equipment, both
in certain external phases as to approach and in certain internal
machinery and equipment. We will spend nothing, of course,
for mere frills. I have not mentioned the matter to any of my
faculty, save to talk with them a little about their needs.
They do not yet know of your gift of $5,000. I find that they
feel that in Industrial Chemistry more money for equipment is
needed than could possibly be covered by the sum of $5,000, which
could only cover the needs of General Chemistry. I am happy at receiving your letter of the
10th inst., and am well pleased that you return home feeling
rested. My heart was deeply touched by your swift
and generous accession to the suggestion born of your own purpose
but coming from me in the second instance. There was long
and grateful applause and deep appreciation of your action.
The Board has not yet met to make formal acceptance of the
gifts. They meet on the 18th of April. I know you know without
words from me how deeply it all strengthens my mind and purpose. About a year ago, I wrote regarding
the establishment of a Scholarship in the University,
by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, the
scholarship being a tribute of our loyalty and gratitude to our
President, Mrs. William Ruffin Cox of Richmond, Virginia. I shall take great pleasure in reporting
to the Rector and Visitors, at their spring meeting, on April
18, the very generous action of the National Society of The
Colonial Dames of America offering to establish at this University,
as a tribute of their loyalty and gratitude to their former
President, Mrs. William Ruffin Cox, of Richmond, Va., a scholarship
in American History. I am quite sure that the Rector and
Visitors will agree with me that this is a beautiful action
on the part of the Society, and will accept this thoughtful
gift with gratitude and appreciation. I take note of your
statement that the work should be not only in American History
but cover American Colonial History, and that wherever possible
it should be given to a student from one of the schools maintained
for the education of the youth of the mountain regions of the
Southern States. I have a magnificent portrait of J. L. M.
Curry, painted in Madrid by the Elder Madrazzo, when he was
President of the Royal Academy. It is a work of art and appropriately
and exquisitely framed in carved apple-wood. I find
it too large for my house. It would give me pleasure to present
it to the University of Virginia, thinking it might be hung in the
hall used for the Curry School of Pedagogy. I remain, Your letter received today, informing me
of your purpose to present to the University a portrait of Dr.
Curry gives me great delight and satisfaction. I have wanted
a portrait of him ever since the completion of our splendid
building which houses the Curry School of Education. There is
a perfect place for its hanging, and the whole matter gives me
very great pleasure. The Curry School of Education is growing
in power and influence, and is just at the threshold of its
usefulness. I venture to predict that it will be in the end
one of the most permanent memorials to Dr. Curry's fame that
could have been conceived of. It will be an inspiration to
the young men to have knowledge of his face and form. At the request of Mr. J. M. Carlisle,
Surviving Trustee of the late Mary W. Curry, I am shipping
to you tomorrow, March 8th, by Adams Express, charges prepaid,
and addressed as above, one box containing the portrait of the
late Dr. J. L. M. Curry, painted by Mrazo. The portrait is
insured for the sum of $5,000, and a valuation of $400 is placed
upon the box with the express company, according with Mr. Carlisle's
request. In reply to Miss Worrell's letter of Nov.
26th, will say that the work on the monument to Dr. Green,
is well done. The family is very grateful to you for this
gift to his memory. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

following present: Hon. Armistead C. Gordon, Rector, John
W. Craddock, Goodrich Hatton, Geo. R. B. Michie, J. K. M. Norton,
R. C. Stearnes, Robert Turnbull and President Alderman. Referring to your recent conversation with Mr.
D. C. Ogg, Train Master, with reference to the proposed
plan of having the University deed to the C. & O. Fail-way
Company the land on which the University's coal
trestle and track are located, and the proposed agreement
between the University and the Railway Company to
maintain the coal trestle and track hereafter on a basis
of an equal division of the cost thereof, it being understood
that the Railway Company shall have the privilege
of making deliveries to outside parties on the said
track and trestle; as requested by you, we are attaching
blue print showing the location of the track and trestle
and the property lines at this point. Referring to your communication of the 16th of September,
1916, addressed to Mr. Armistead C. Gordon, Rector of the
University of Virginia, in re- the plan proposed by you to have
the University deed to your company the land on which the
University's coal trestle and track are located, I am directed
by the Board of Visitors to advise you that the matter was
brought to their attention, and after a full discussion, they
were unable to accede to your proposition. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8 o'clock p. m., with the following present:
The Rector, Armistead C. Gordon, Visitors, Craddock, Hatton,
Irvine, Lewis, Michie, Stearnes and Turnbull, and President
Alderman. Miss Mary Amelia Smith of Warrenton, Virginia,
by her last will and testament, recorded February 24th, 1913,
in Will Book 47 at page 34 in Fauquier County Clerk's Office,
Virginia, left all of her property of every kind and description
for life to the brothers that survived her, of which
there were only two, namely: Fred W. Smith and Col. Thomas
Smith, and at their death all of said property both real and
personal, was to go to the University of Virginia. Shortly
after Miss Mary Amelia Smith's death, her brother, one of the
above mentioned survivors, returned from South Africa and
immediately began to take steps to break the will of sister
Mary Amelia Smith, and thereby prevent University of Virginia
from having any of her property. The effect of this provision is a two-fold one, (1)
to create such a trust in the University, with reference
to such `public animals, arms, uniforms, and equipment,'
as is not contemplated by the organic law of the
University, and for the assumption and execution of which
there is no authority in the University, either express
or implied: (2) the requirement that the University
shall give "a bond in the value of the property issued
for the care and safe-keeping thereof, and for its
return when required," is in contravention of Section
1556 of the Code of Virginia, vol. 1, page 828, which
provides that "it shall not be lawful for the Rector
and Board of Visitors of the University to contract
any debt whatever on account of said University, without
the consent of the Legislature previously obtained."

or more units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, Senior
Division, in accordance with the provision of an Act of Congress
entitled an "Act for making further and more effectual
provision for the national defense and for other purposes". Special orders,
No. 75. Recommendations of the Committee on Rules and Courses
for the College regarding academic credit for the proposed
course in military training. Your special Committee consisting of the Rector, Mr.
Michie and the President, appointed at the March 23rd meeting

just at the close of the meeting. President Alderman was present.
Reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed
with. I have been advised by the Bursar
that the rule of the Board of Visitors, which has been in
operation for some years, granting an automatic increase
of ten per cent in the salary of those professors who have
served for a term of six years has been suspended for the
coming year. The committee appointed to consider ways
and means for teaching Chemistry next session reported
to you that part of the new chemical laboratory would have
to be furnished if the lectures in Chemistry and the courses
in Analytical Chemistry are to be given at all. The makeshift
adopted since the fire was an utterly impossible situation,
and we are deprived of this by the closing of Peabody
Hall next year. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

that in June last the two committees of the Miller
Board and the Board of Visitors of the University
met at the Board of Visitors' House, and agreed
that the status of the buildings on the grounds
known as the "Mallet House", continue unchanged. Concerning the increased cost of labor and mechanics The Executors under the will of Colonel
Payne are informed by Mr. Fuller that in or about
the month of July, 1917, at the Colonel's country
place at West Park, Colonel Payne told Mr. Fuller
that in his will he had made a legacy of $250,000.
to the University of Virginia, but that he had decided
to give that sum presently, instead of waiting
until death. Mr. Fuller further states that the next
day Colonel Payne gave to you his check for $250,000.
for the benefit of the University and said to you
substantially what he had said to Mr. Fuller about the
provision in his will and about his subsequent decision
to make the gift presently. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

this date at 10:3- o'clock, with the following present: Rector
Gordon and Visitors Craddock, Michie, Turnbull, Hatton and
Walker, and President Alderman. I hereby lay before you, in the discharge
of my duty as President of the University, a portion of
an address made on November 20th at Sweet Briar College
by Professor Leon R. Whipple, Adjunct Professor of
Journalism in this University, and certain letters showing
that it was the deliberate purpose of Professor
Whipple, in his capacity as a professor of this University,
to conduct a far-reaching propaganda for the promulgation
of the sentiments therein expressed. I enclose an advance story on an
address I shall make at Sweet Briar College tonight.
I think it may be of interest in your territory as a
Sweet Briar event, and also because of the larger
interests involved. I hope you will find room for at
least some of this as these principles cannot be too
often enunciated. I response to your recent request
to the Faculty of the University for changes in, or additions
to, the list of subjects to be offered as free extension
lectures, I desire to ask for the following
changes: You are asked to dismiss me from the Faculty
of the University of Virginia for uttering, publicly,
the truth as revealed to my conscience. I am charged
with acts that are declared not in accord with the purposes
of this nation in the present war, and therefore,
I can no longer be of service in this public institution,
and am unfit to teach the youth who come to seek truth. Following my telegram twenty-fourth, Mrs. White wishes
Dr. Alderman and the Board of Visitors to know that
the newspaper account of Whipple's utterances have been
read to Mr. White, and also Senator Martin's comments
upon same. Mr. White heartily endorses the matter. Greatly regret engagement here prevents my attending
Board meeting tomorrow. Assuming object is to consider
Whipple, not wishing to condemn without hearing,
but based on correctness of reports, my voice is for
summary dismissal. Jefferson's University is not fit
soil for seeds of treason. I have just received notice from Mr. Carruthers
of a meeting of the Board called for to-morrow, Tuesday.
Mr. Carruthers wired me Saturday, but I was out of town
until this morning. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date at 9:30 o'clock A. M., with the following members present:
The Rector, Mr. Irvine, and Visitors Bryan, Hatton, Michie,
Walker, Dillard, Robertson and Hart, and President Alderman. Concerning the proposition of the C. & A. Ry.
Co. for connecting with the University plant, we recommend
the following: Under date of May 28, a communication
was received from the Office of the Surgeon General of
the Army requesting all medical schools which can possibly
do so to begin the session 1918-1919 for fourth year medical
students not later than July 1, so that the Class of
1919 may be graduated by the end of February or early
in March 1919. This measure is to help meet the extraordinary
demand for medical officers for the Army which
is sure to come within the next year or so. I am empowered and directed by
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
to convey to you the deep appreciation and gratitude
of the University for the commemorative tablet in honor
of James Rogers McConnell, an old student of this
Institution who gave his life for France. This tablet
shall be set up in a conspicuous place upon the walls
of this University, and shall serve as a tie to bind together
in everlasting affection and memory the two great
nations now struggling to protect the freedom of mankind
against a menace of tyranny and oppression. I would like to submit for your
approval and that of the Board assembled, the enclosed
plan of an endowment fund to be raised in the future
for the Medical School of the University, and in beloved
commemoration of the late Richard Henry Whitehead.
The plan is that of the Graduating Class in
Medicine, with a view to extending it to the alumni and
also the future classes in Medicine. In recognition of our great indebtedness to the University
of Virginia for our training in Medicine, and in beloved
commemoration of Richard Henry Whitehead, we, the undersigned,
do hereby pledge ourselves to give at some time
to the Medical School one thousand dollars each, or as
much as our financial status shall allow, toward the
establishment of an endowment fund to be called by the
above title. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

G. R. B. Michie, and John Stewart Bryan, and President
Alderman. On behalf of the Beverley Club of Staunton, Va.,
of which he was a charter member and its first President,
in 1890, I have the pleasure of presenting to the
University of Virginia an oil portrait of Mr. Armistead
C. Gordon, the University's late Rector. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your
communication of the 19th inst. informing me of the
purpose of the Beverley Club, of Staunton, to present
to the University of Virginia an oil portrait of the
University's late Rector, Hon. Armistead C. Gordon. I
note also the request that this portrait be hung on the
walls of the Colonnade Club. As an Alumnus of the University may I ask your
kind assistance in placing in the proper hands a small
contribution to the Permanent Endowment Fund of the
Institution. I enclose for this purpose a Liberty Bond
for five hundred dollars and shall be greatly obliged to
you for your compliance with my request. The fall meeting of the Rector and
Visitors of the University occurred here on November
26th. I had the honor of presenting your letter of
last July, in which you so generously and graciously
give to the permanent endowment fund of the University
the Libert Bond # 665635. The Rector and Visitors
directed me to extend to you their very grateful thanks
and appreciation of this splendid action, and to assure
you of their purpose to use this money in the permanent
endowment of the University for the best interests of
the Institution. I must again express my appreciation
of the peculiarly handsome way in which you have done
this good deed. The will of Elizabeth B. White, who died in
Baltimore on November 13th, 1917, provides in paragraph
three of item number one that the sum of Five Thousand
Dollars be given to the University of Virginia for the
establishment of scholarships to be known as the ELIZABETH
B. GARRETT SCHOLARSHIPS. Be it Resolved by the Rector and Visitors of the University
of Virginia, THAT the legacy of Elizabeth B.
White of $5000 to found the Elizabeth B. Garrett Scholarships
at the University of Virginia be and the same is
hereby gratefully accepted upon the terms and conditions
as set forth in her will. From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia: From: Edwin A. Alderman, President, University of Virginia; Major Frederick Waugh Smith notified his brother, Col.
Thomas Smith, and the University of Virginia that he intended
to contest the will on the grounds of the uncertainty of its
provisions, but at the same time he made a proposition of compromise. On November 18th, 1910 you kindly granted permission
to the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway
Company, of Charlottesville, Virginia, a corporation duly
chartered under the laws of the State of Virginia, to lay
its track along the terrace west of what is known as Rugby
Road, from the Ivy Road on the South to the C. & O. overhead
bridge on the North, distance of 1050 feet: to be laid
under the general supervision and direction of the President
and Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings of the
University of Virginia, and the Chairman of the Executive
Committee of our Board, with the condition that the track
and works of the company be removed at their own expense
on 60 days notice from the Board, at the pleasure of the
Board. This is to advise you that my recent examination
of your accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30th,
1918, disclosed no irregularities of any kind, but on
the other hand, your records were found to be correct. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

(Resolved, That the General Faculty recommends to the
Rector and Board of Visitors that one or more units of the
R. O. T. C. be established at the University of Virginia.) If the State Board of Health will establish and maintain
a Tuberculosis Sanatorium sufficiently close to the Medical
School of the University of Virginia for effective cooperation,
and if the State Board of Health will permit the Medical
Director of the Sanatorium to teach the problems of tuberculosis
to the students and nurses of the medical department of the
University, and for this purpose use such patients in the sanatorium
as may seem suitable to the Medical Director; the Medical
School of the University will on its part affiliate with the
sanatorium, and promote the work of the sanatorium in so far
as such promotion and affiliation is compatible with the other
objects and duties of the Medical School and the University
Hospital. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Jr., who graduated from the Law School of the University
of Virginia in June, 1911, and who died in France on
August 29, 1918 from wounds received in battle, it is
our desire to erect some usefull and enduring memorial
which will permanently associate his name with the University
of Virginia, - his, as well as his father's, Alma
Mater. This motive springs not alone from the promptings
of parental affection for the memory of an only son, -
and an only child, - but from the wish to give some
outward expression to the love and loyalty that he
cherished for the University. I have this day received your letter of
the 28th inst., with the enclosure, giving so moving and
interesting an account of the life and service of your son,
Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr. I have read with the greatest
interest and approval the communication in which you give
to the University of Virginia the sum of $10,000 to be
known as the Farrell Dabney Minor, Jr., donation, and to
be used for the general purpose of the enrichment of the
Law Library through the purchase of books and other
accessories. I note, of course, the conditions of the
use of the fund set forth so clearly by you, the wisdom
of which I sincerely subscribe to. I can, in advance,
accept for the Rector and Visitors this noble gift, and can,
in advance, assure you of their profound gratification and
appreciation of the great service you have done to the
University and of their pride that so brave and noble
a youth shall be here commemorated. My wife and I appreciate your kind letter
of the 31st ult. I have written my kinsman, Prof. R. C.
Minor, consenting to the publication of the sketch. Responding to your request for the expression of a
further opinion in connection with the matter of the
Oliver H. Payne bequest to the University, in view of
supposed new evidence, I beg to submit as follows: Whereas Oliver H. Payne, late of the City of
New York, died on the 27th day of June, 1917, leaving a
Last Will and Testament dated the 7th day of September,
1915, and the same was thereafter duly admitted to probate
by the Surrogate's Court of the County of New York,
and letters testamentary thereon were issued out of said
court to the Executors named in said Will; and It was my intention and understanding
in making the gift of $155,000. for the establishment of
a School of Fine Arts, that $5,000. or as much thereof
as might be necessary, should be used outright for the
purchase of equipping the School of Art and Architecture. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on the above date at 10 o'clock A. M. in the office of the
President. There were present R. Tate Irvine, Rector, and
Visitors Harris Hart, Goodrich Hatton, Geo. R. B. Michis,
Alexander F. Robertson, C. Harding Walker, and the President. The special committee appointed at the meeting
of the Rector and Visitors October 14, 1919, to consider
the question of increase of salaries of the
professors, associate professors, adjunct professors and
administrative officers met on this date at 8 o'clock
P.M. in the office of the President. There were present
the President, and Messrs. Irvine, Hart, Walker and
Michie. Visitors Robertson and Hatton were present by
invitation of the committee. The professors of the University of Virginia, in
special conference assembled, desire to call your attention
to the following facts, too well known to require
argument: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of a preamble and
resolutions presented to me on November 3rd and again
signed on November 5th by a committee representing a conference
of the gentlemen of the faculties of the University.
I need hardly say that I am in enthusiastic accord
with the general purport of these resolutions both as regards
the substantial increase of salaries and the
policy of not attempting further new expansion in the
University until a just and adequate salary arrangement
for the present staff is attained. The purpose to bring
about this increase is the most steadfast purpose in my
mind, and has been all along for twelve years as I have
seen the staff increase from twenty-eight to seventy-eight
by process of promotion rather than succession,
and particularly since last April when with then no certainty
of surplus funds I recommended and the Board added some
$8000 to be appropriated for salary increases. I shall,
therefore, both as your colleague and as a member of a
committee appointed by the Board for the purpose, give to
these resolutions my most earnest and sympathetic consideration,
and I shall take pains to see that the committee
of the Board and the Board itself see and consider
them. I confess to some disquiet and some unhappiness
in the matter. Naturally, I would desire not only to
support but to lead in a movement to grant a petition
containing so much of justice and signed by so many
thoughtful and unselfish men. I am determined whether
the Legislature grants the request contained in the
budget or any part of it or none of it, to recommend with
insistence that a new salary basis of 25% increase be
entered upon here this year effective for the current
session, and it is my judgment that the Rector and Visitors
also hold this purpose quite definitely, though,
of course, I have no authority to forecast their action.
With me the necessity for such action is a matter of
supreme educational policy. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and on the Founder's birthday, I desire to enter upon
the execution of a long-cherished design to present
to my Alma Mater a library of international law.
I would begin the collection this year, and would from
time to time add to it, making a final contribution,
including probably a part of my own library, under my
will or such indications as my family would carry out. It was my honnor and pleasure to make
known to the Rector and Visitors of the University, at
their meeting on April 20, 1921, your letter setting
forth your gift - the John Bassett Moore Library of
International Law - to the University of Virginia. I
was directed by the Board to express to you their
gratitude and appreciation of this splendid service to
the University. The Board is largely composed of
members of the legal profession, and you may imagine their
pleasure and satisfaction at the thought of such new
strength will be added to that side of our University
life. I was also instructed to say that your letter
will be spread upon the minutes and that all of the
conditions will be faithfully adhered to. The General Education Board is holding its
mid-winter meeting on February 24th, in New York City. I
have just had a visit from the fiscal agent of that Board.
I am convinced that the sum of $50,000 may be obtained
through that Board from the sum given by Mr. Rockefeller
some years ago for salary increases in American colleges.
Certain sums have already been granted to the University
of North Carolina, William and Mary, and the University of
Alabama, under just the same circumstances. I could not
bring the matter before the Board at the other meeting because
I had not then had the visit of the representative of the
Board here. It is necessary for the General Board to know
that I am speaking by authority of the governing body, or
they would not feel inclined to make any gifts to a State
institution without fore-knowledge that it would be acceptable.
Mr. Carruthers will explain any details connected with
the situation. I am hoping to have a wire from you by
Wednesday night, Hotel Wolcott, 31st Street, New York, authorizing
me to present the inclosed application. It was
specifically stated that action indicating the purpose to make
this application by the Executive Committee would be sufficient. On behalf of the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia, I am submitting, through you,
to the General Education Board, an application for an
appropriation of $50,000, to be applied to salary increases
of the instructional staff in the University during the
academic years 1921-22, 1922-23, 1923-24. It is desired
to use the sum asked for both to relieve the present salary
situation as regards increases already made and to make such
further increases as would tend to stabilize justly the
present salary schedule and to afford relief to those manifestly
underpaid. The University expects to obtain the necessary
funds within the time mentioned to take the place
of this grant in order that they may guarantee the permanence
of the increased scale and to increase it in so far as that
may appear resonable and helpful to the institution. Pursuant to our conversation in Mr. Scott's
office last Wednesday, the following is the estimate of the
epxenses of the Endowment Fund campaign which I was to
supply you. You will understand of course, that it is very
difficult to make a close estimate, because we much be
ready to meet conditions as they arise, which may call for
additional and unforeseen expense: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

under date of May 31st, 1921, - Please pardon my delay in making formal answer to your
telegram of May 31st, but I have been in the midst of Centennial,
and this is the morning after. In pursuance of our conference, I beg you
will convey to the Rector and Visitors my purpose, if it be
in accord with their wishes, to give the sum of $200,000
for the establishment and maintenance within the University
of Virginia of a School or Department of Commerce and Finance,
utilizing as far as possible the basis of such School or
Department now in existence. The purpose of this school
or department shall be to give such training for the career
of business as will give our youth knowledge and skill in
that field, and will inculcate in them those habits of economy
and integrity upon which our whole economic life depends.
The conditions I deem it wise to put upon this gift are the
following:- I had the honor to transmit your communication
of May 30th, to the Rector and Visitors at their annual
meeting on May 31st, 1921. The farseeing gift which it
announces was accepted by them unanimously and with deep
appreciation of the wisdom of the purpose for which the
endowment is intended. I was directed by them to express to
you their apprediation and gratitude for this new manifestation
of your wisdon and beneficence. They begged me to
assure you that they were accepting this gift mindful of all
the conditions named by you which they consider wise and helpful
conditions. It will be their purpose to carry out your
wishes rigidly and to seek by all just means to develop the
great new department which this endowment makes possible in
the life of the University. I need not assure you of my
own personal appreciation of the greatness and wisdom of your
services to this institution in its effort to serve the youth
of this and other generations. The Committee appointed by the Board of Visitors of

consider sites and recommend a site for the Gymnasium. The Architectural Commission has considered and studied
at length all phases of the gymnasium problem and now submits
these plans which, in our unanimous professional judgment,
are the most economical solution which meets all the
obligatory requirements. We submit an approximate estimate of
cost prepared by Mr. W. P. Thurston, the Richmond contractor,
in the sum of $259,000.00. On this basis we recommend
that the Board authorize the preparation of working
drawings and specifications on which bids for the work
may be secured. According to general plans and specifications of
the central heating system, prepared by myself and adopted
by the engineering faculty, construction will go
forward, as funds become available, in three sections.

available, comprises: ATTENTION Mr. Chas. Hancock On October 10th, 1921 the Common Council of the

memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White.
It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection

best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion
from you. The fund will be available early in May and will
be about $10,000.00. I have your letter of the 7th inst.,
and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure
and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University
to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father.
It so happened that we served together on the Board of
Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know
something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally
pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection
with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I
am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st
of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming.
Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential. Please find enclosed the following
checks: The Trustees of the Austin Estate held for a number
of years a mortgage from the heirs of Elizabeth C. Blackbird.
A year ago last December the mortgage was paid off and we

most suitable site was found to be on the land now owned by
Mr. John Armstrong Chaloner. We asked Mr. Chaloner to donate
ten acres of land for this purpose. Mr. Chaloner considered
the matter carefully and decided he wanted to doit because of
his love for the people of Roanoke Rapids and his desire to do
something for the colored people of this section. He explained,
however, that he had made a deed of this land to
the Universities of North Carolina and Virginia but that he
thought since he was to have the use of this land during his
lifetime that there would be no difficulty in conveying in fee
simple to our School Board. He suggested that we have our
lawyer investigate the case which has been done. Our attorney
advises that the most suitable way to convey this land is to
have a deed signed jointly by Mr. Chaloner and the proper
authorities from the two universities. I have just written
Dr. Chase to determine whether the University of North
Carolina would be willing to join with the University
of Virginia in making the deed. We asked for ten acres because
we thought that was the smallest part we could get
along with. Knowing your spirit and interest in the cause of
education I feel that you will understand our position and
that there will be little difficulty in getting the proper
acceptance of this arrangement. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on for the University I had been in the Army for more than
two years with my personal and family expenses more than three
times what my income was and I was not certain about the

Jefferson formerly hung. The Jefferson Society has now in its possession

Trinkle my formal resignation as a member of the
Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia.
I cannot refrain from writing at the same time to
express to you and the other members of the Board
my heartfelt appreciation of the delightful way in
which you welcomed me and made me so completely one
of yourselves. I value more than I can tell you
the association in so high a duty with men like those

to the Board, and appreciating her many kindnesses
and courtesies, have appointed the undersigned committee

on this date at 9 a.m., with the following members present:
the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart,
Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent
and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the University the death of Professor Charles
Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend
sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing
the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial
held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed
on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of
June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of
Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial,
wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated
to the University of Virginia toward its program of
research in the Social Sciences. I shall present
this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the
University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall
at that time convey their expression, as the Governing
Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of
this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally
assure you of my own profound sense of obligation
to you for the patient thought you have given to the
matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry
out the work which this money is intended to promote,
with the very highest desire to have the exact thing
that the Board intends to get done in our American
life. At a meeting of the committee representing
the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously
voted to offer to the University the support of a Research
Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise
$4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair.
We decided to specify history because we feel that it will
make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a
position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary
to establishing this Chair with the authorities of
the University. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

for the University and a building for the whole former
plant to inclose another boiler and electrical
equipment for lighting the University, therefor the
University is to pay $35,000 and the Medical Building
Fund is to pay $50,000. The Medical Building Fund
will loan $35,000 to the University to be repaid later. At the meeting which the writer had with you

at the morning session except Mr. Hull. For a number of years it has been the policy of the
University to pay the salaries of its administrative
officers and members of the teaching staff, above the grade
of instructor, on a yearly basis in monthly installments
on the first of each month. This practice arose from
the payment of salaries to its professors in large part
from the fees from their respective students, being made
in quarterly payments. Later this was changed to five
payments per session and, finally, to monthly payments
in advance when students' fees were no longer allocated
to professors' stipends. This policy of payments in
advance was also justified by reason of the fact that the
State's appropriation to the University was received in
monthly allotments on the first of each month for the
current month. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the International Education Board held May 25, 1928, the officers
presented your letter of February 2, 1928, in which, on behalf of
the trustees of the University of Virginia, you request the Board's
cooperation in strengthening and stimulating research in the physical
and biological sciences. It was observed that in addition to sums
now available, annual sums approximating $45,000 would be required
eventually to carry out your program of development in chemistry,
physics and biology, and that there was reasonable assurance that beginning
with the fiscal year July 1, 1930, the authorities of the
University would be in position to provide annually increasing sums
for this purpose, so that within a period of from five to seven years
the University would be able to assume the increased annual expenditure
of $45,000. RESOLVED, That the locations selected for the proposed
dormitories on the western slope of Monroe Hill and for
the academic building on the site of the Mallet House, be
and are hereby approved, subject to minor changes in
location. The largest single maturing investment included above, was an item of
$103,600 School & College 6% Certificates which were called for payment by the
State of Virginia at par on January 1, 1928. $100,000 of these were held in the
Corcoran Fund. To replace this large investment at a time when high grade bonds
were selling at prices which returned lower yields than for many years past, of
course, worked a hardship upon the University. It was necessary to accept a
lower return in order to obtain anywhere nearly commensurate safety. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Attorneys of 31 Nassau Street, New York City, acting for the Estate of
Thomas F. Ryan, deceased, addressed a letter to Mr. Newcomb, in which
these gentlemen stated that since the provision of paragraph X of
ARTICLE FIRST of Mr. Ryan's will, giving a net income of $3000.00 per
year for the Thomas F. Ryan Scholarships was educational in its nature,
and therefore perpetual, the Trustees under Mr. Ryan's will,
namely— Messrs. William C. Potter and Clendennin J. Ryan, were
anxious to be relieved of the duties of administering the capital
fund from which this income is to be produced, and they have
asked that Mr. Newcomb would consider the advisability of having
The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia substituted
as Trustee of said fund in the place and stead of the Trustees named
in said will. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

properly distributable to the beneficiaries of a trust. Acting on the
theory that the general rule applied in this instance, we communicated with
you for advise as to whether you desired to have the General Motors stock
distributed to you or whether you preferred having us sell the stock and
distribute the proceeds thereform. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

will a portion of his estate was left to the University, and at said meeting
the following resolution was adopted. "The Executive Committee feels that the faculty should be substantially enlarged
just as soon as possible. I was advised when at the school that definite arrangements
had been completed for the addition of one member to the faculty. This is
a start, but there whould be two or three more additions just as soon as possible.
I have written Dean Eager to this effect and have sent him a copy of the report
which I made, which he will doubtless show you. The Executive Committee hopes
that you will find a way to make the substantial additions to the faculty which
we regard as necessary to enable the law school at the University to maintain
and augment the enviable position it has enjoyed in legal education since the
the days of the great Minor." | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Christopher B. Garnett, Miss Bessie C. Randolph, Hollis Rinehart and Beverley D. Tucker, Jr., and
President Newcomb. I am writing in the name of the Rector and Board of Visitors of the University
of Virginia to request you to authorize them to create a deficit in the sum of $25,000
for the construction of the West Extension of the University of Virginia Hospital, putting
this additional $25,000 as a recommended appropriation in your Budget to the General
Assembly of 1940. This means that the Legislative Appropriation of $250,000 for the
construction of this building would be increased to $275,000. Mr. Frederic W. Scott became chairman of the Finance Committee of this Board in 1921 and
continued in that position until his death in October, 1939. During this long period of eighteen years
Mr. Scott gave his great ability and large experience to the investment and management of the funds of
the University that are under the control of this Board. You asked me last Friday to send you and each member of the Finance Committee of the
University of Virginia Board of Visitors a copy of a portion of a letter written by me last
August 18th to Mr. Fred W. Scott in which I summarized certain figures in regard to the handling
of the Endowment Funds of the University in past years. I am, therefore, quoting below all of
the letter which I read you that concerns the above matters omitting only certain personal matters
contained at the end of my letter. At the request of the Rector, I am submitting herewith a statement upon the
subject of the authority, duties, and liabilities of the Board of Visitors in connection
with investment of funds belonging to the University, primary consideration being given to
the question of whether the Board of Visitors shall be confined in making investments of
University funds to so-called "lawful investments" or whether, in the exercise of a sound
discretion, the Board may, without liability to its members, place the funds of the
University in securities not included within the list of such "lawful investments" as
defined by Section 5431 of the Code of Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

accordance with your resolution, met on October 23, 1942, at the Colonnade Club at
the University, elected a Chairman, and had a general discussion of the subject under
consideration. Upon the call of the Chairman, your Board met at Madison Hall at the
University, at 10.30 A. M., November 30, 1942, after public notice had been given
that all interested persons were invited to attend and make statements. No interested
persons appeared, so, at the suggestion of some of the members, the heads of all the
student departments and the Student Senate were invited to appear and make statements.
During the afternoon session, most of those invited did appear and make statements,
as did several others. The Committee then adjourned to meet in Madison Hall at 10:30
A. M., December 12th. Similar public notice of this meeting was given, with an invitation
to all interested persons to appear and make statements. Notice of this
meeting was also given by the Chairman to the Governor of Virginia, with an invitation
to him to be present or to furnish the Board with any statement or information which
he thought it should consider. The Governor expressed his appreciation of this invitation,
which he declined, stating that he had recently met with your Committee,
composed of Messrs. Stettinius, Corbitt and Williams, and expressed generally his views
in reference to the matters under consideration. At this meeting of the Board, a
number of interested persons appeared and made statements. Before its adjournment,
the Board heard all person who appeared and expressed a desire to be heard. All
statements made at Board meetings were stenographically transcribed, and a transcript
of all statements made is filled herewith. As will appear from the transcript,
no person appeared and advocated the abolition of the practice of students living in
fraternity houses. As it appeared that full notice had been given to the public,
and that all persons who wished to appear and make statements had been heard, your
Board did not deem it necessary to hold further public hearings. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Anderson, Mrs. J. M. H. Willis, M. H. Bustard, Thomas B. Gay, and G. Tyler Miller; President Newcomb
and President Combs. I have brought your letter to the attention of Governor Fuck
and he has requested me to write you and ask you to initiate the action
necessary to call a special meeting of the Board of Visitors to reconsider
their action rejecting the proposal to admit male veterans as day
students at the Mary Washington College. The Governor feels that the
action of the Board of Visitors is directly at odds with the policy of the
State Board of Education and the policy he has set forth himself in regard
to veterans education. If there are male veterans in the vicinity of
Fredericksburg, married or single, who would find it more convenient to
attend Mary Washington College, the Governor feels that they must be
allowed to do so. Since the time remaining before the opening of the
Fall term is short, the Governor urges you to re-open this matter with
the Board as soon as possible. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

birthday, and therefore will be eligible for a minimum retiring allowance. Your letter of September 9th advising me of your desire to retire as
President of the University of Virginia on or soon after your sixty-fifth
birthday has just reached me. The minutes of the regular monthly meeting of the Board held on July 12, 1946, contained the following: At a prior meeting of the Board the offer of Dr. Reichel to sell to the Mary Washington College certain
furniture and furnishings in his house, enumerated in an inventory at $26,000, was communicated to the
Board and the Board authorized your Committee to have the property appraised. In accordance therewith
the Chairman employed Mark McK. Sloan and Fairfax Edelen, of C. G. Sloan & Co., Inc. to make the
appraisal. Before the appraisal was made, however, Dr. Reichel withdrew his offer to sell the property
enumerated in his list, with the exception of certain marked items, and offered to sell the property in
the marked items at $5,600. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

action of the Visitors in undertaking to codify and set up specific rules to regulate the gentlemanly
behavior of the Student Body was considered. In view of the recent regulations passed by you concerning this chapter, it is requested that

from living in the SPE house . . ." The undersigned Committee, appointed by Chairman Halsey at the meeting of the Executive

Miller. Twenty-four years have elapsed since I left the University, '25. It has been 28 years (1921)
since the first boxing team was organized at Charlottesville. It is still a source of considerable
pleasure and pride, to me, that I was a member of that first team. I am also happy to have been Captain
of two of Virginia's successful teams in the early 'twenties, and the University's representative
on the American Olympic Boxing Team, to Paris, France during 1924. At the meeting of the Compliance Committee held April 7, 8, and 9 at Savannah, Georgia it
was voted to extend until July 1, 1949 the date by which it will be necessary for you to advise us
in regard to compliance with the Code. If you are intending to take steps which will result in compliance,
it is still necessary that these steps be taken prior to September 1, 1949. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Department of Medicine. The word "clinical" is used in some titles and omitted in the titles of
others who have similar responsibilities and salary arrangements, residents have been listed in
the announcement as instructors without approval of the President or Board of Visitors, there has
been no designation for research workers on temporary appointments and paid from funds obtained
from outside sources. Your Committee, consisting of the Rector, Barron F. Black, Thomas B. Gay and E. C. Anderson,
Chairman, have had the subject of this report under consideration for more than a year. On
May 13, 1949, the Committee recommended that an office of publicity, public relations and fund-raising
be created and that a suitable person be found to direct all activities of this office. Up
to the present time, it has not been possible to find a person qualified to assume the position,
and, therefore, your Committee offers the following suggestion as a substitute and as a method for
carrying on the work begun by the Development Fund until a more permanent arrangement can be made. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

The Corcoran Gallery of Art to present a formal request that the University of Virginia be so gracious
as to provide space in its art museum building for a selected group of the most valuable
works of art in the collections of The Corcoran Gallery of Art in the event that the international
situation seems to require the removal of these irreplaceable treasures from the city of Washington.
It is my understanding, based on two discussions with you and with Mr. O'Neal, the Acting
Director of the Museum, that this action would be endorsed by you provided that we release the
University from all liability for loss or damage from any cause whatsoever to any of the works of
art which might be housed in the University, and provided further that the University would not
incur any expense in connection with the transportation or housing of the works of art in question.
Both of these above points are completely satisfactory to the Gallery. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

our son who attended the University of Virginia, I am making the following written request for
the use of the funds donated under contract of May 12, 1950, which funds become available for
use to the University of Virginia after the death of both Mrs. Case and myself After carefully reviewing the history of the development of the teaching of Architecture at
the University of Virginia the following facts appear to be of special significance I enclose herewith a recommendation from Professor Fitz Patrick that the Division of
Architecture of the McIntire Department of Fine Arts be changed in status in the University
to the McIntire School of Architecture. I have discussed the matter with him and I heartily
recommend that the change be made. Report of Committee on Award of Bayly-Tiffany Funds. Authority is requested by officials of Mary Washington College of the University of
Virginia to prepare a plan for the Board's approval to grant an easement of right of
way to W. C. Spratt over the college property from Virginia Route #3 to the property of
W. C. Spratt situated in Spotsylvania County Virginia and to obtain for the college an easement
of right of way over the property of W. C. Spratt which divides the college property.
Authority is further requested to prepare a plan or plans for the approval of the Board to
exchange real estate by W. C. Spratt and the college should it be deemed mutually beneficial. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Corcoran Department of Philosophy and Psychology strongly recommended that they be established
as separate academic Departments. This recommendation is wholly in accord with the pronounced
trend of recent years in regard to such matters, and I heartily concur in it. Each of the
Divisions is amply large in both staff and enrollment to be a Department, they are housed in
widely separated buildings, and they function quite independently of each other You will recall that I have, in the past, had some correspondence with you in reference to the
Lynchburg Chapter of the University of Virginia Loan Fund, and as of September 30, 1953, you
forwarded to me a statement not only of the assets, but of the notes receivable. At one
of our Lynchburg Alumni Meetings of recent date, we unanimously passed a motion to the effect
that we desire that the Lynchburg Alumni Loan Fund be returned to our Chapter for deposit in one
of Lynchburg's banks in order that we may earn interest on the money when it lays idle as it has
in the majority of years since 1924, and we believe that by having it in a local bank we can use
this money to help students through University in many more cases, for as I informed you in past
correspondence, for so many years we did not realize that this fund was still in effect at your
office, therefore, would you please be so kind as to inform me as to the manner in which I
should approach you for the release of such funds to our chapter In reference to your request for an estimate on the renovation of the Wright cottage, see

of the Board of Visitors on May 14, 1954, it was given no special assignment, but was assigned as
its general objectives the betterment of student conduct, a study of disciplinary procedures, and
the promotion of good relations between the Students of the University and the Administration
When the Board met in special session on May 26, 1954, your Chairman was advised by several students
that they desired to meet with your Committee. Realizing that the special meeting of the Board
would consume that entire day and run into the following day, your Chairman, on the morning of
May 27th, advised the spokesman for the students that the Committee would be glad to meet with them
that afternoon, May 27th. However, your Chairman was informed that it would be impossible for the
students to meet with your Committee that afternoon, but that they would like to appear before the
full Board at its June meeting. That evening, May 27th, a mass meeting of students was held, and
the seven students who at their request appeared before the Board at its June meeting appeared on
the platform and four of them addressed the mass meeting | | | Similar Items: | Find |

list of vacant lots and lands owned by the University As you know, both Mr. Woodward and I have been concerned about the number
of students who apply for admission, pay the ten-dollar application fee, are
accepted and assigned a dormitory room, and cancel at the last minute or just
fail to appear. Apparently the forfeiture of a ten-dollar application fee is
not much of a deterrent. Many of these students have made application elsewhere
and are simply holding the space here as something to fall back on if they should
not be admitted to the institution of their first choice. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

at its September 10th meeting and at your request, I have consulted the Faculties of the
University that would be directly involved concerning the establishment under University administration
of a two-year college program at Wise, Virginia. I am glad to report that the Faculties
of the College and of the Schools of Education and Engineering, without a dissenting vote,
adopted resolutions approving in principle the establishment under University administration of
one or more University branches in which the first two years of college work would be offered under
regulations approved by the Faculties. I am glad to report, also that following this favorable
action by the Faculties, the question was referred to the University Senate for its consideration
and that at its January 4th meeting the Senate likewise adopted a resolution approving in
principle the establishment of one or more branches under the provision specified by the
faculties concerned. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

and Mrs. Smith. As an admirer of Senator Harry Flood Byrd of Virginia, I should like to see a
fund or endowment established at the University of Virginia in recognition of his
conspicuous service to our country, especially in the field of public finance. We now have one hundred (100) Regional Scholarships for Virginians, which the
Scholarship Committee feels is quite adequate. However, funds for out-of-state
regionals have been very limited and the Scholarship Committee has been most anxious
to find ways of increasing the number of these awards, for the following reasons Mr. Runk and I have discussed various ways of operating the Cavalier Daily.
It is our opinion that it would be unwise to discontinue the current support of
the Daily by an assessment against the student body. The reason the fee was
initially instituted was because student subscriptions were limited largely to
entering students and one or two subscriptions per fraternity house. The older
boys just would not subscribe sufficiently to cover the operating cost. Confirming our conversation of this morning, we welcome the opportunity to
advise that the layout and design of the proposed Children's Rehabilitation Center
has been approved without qualification by representatives of the Clinical
Departments most concerned with the project, the Departments of Nursing Service,
Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Dietary, and the Hospital Administration.
It is the impression of all concerned that the building as designed is adequate and
admirably suited for the contemplated Children's Rehabilitation Program.
Functionally, it will provide for efficient operation both from a clinical and
administrative standpoint. The plans have also received favorable review by
informed individuals not connected with the University who have had extensive
experience in Children's Rehabilitation in the various specialized areas such as
clinical care, therapy, nursing and administration. The University Sports Club would like for you to request permission of the
Board for the Club to conduct sports car trials on Observatory Mountain sometime
early next fall. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date at 10:00 a.m. in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with

Chancellor Grellet C. Simpson, Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gravatt, Greear,
Hartfield, Howard, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent:
Visitor Gray. The committee which you recently appointed to study the program in the
Department of Nursing thought that the tuition in the Department should be
increased to that obtaining in the College of Arts and Sciences, effective
with the 1957-58 session. Confirming my conversation with you of several days ago, I am enclosing herewith
the last will and testament of Roy C. Moyston. You will notice that on page 5, Article
V (B) one-half of the community estate of Mr. and Mrs. Moyston and all of his
separate estate is left to the Jefferson Sponsors Fund for the use and benefit
of the Law Department of the University of Virginia, and if said fund be not
then in existence, then to said University of Virginia for the use and benefit
of the Law Department. Since the Jefferson Sponsors Fund is not in existence,
it is my interpretation that the money in question goes to the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia, a corporation, and should be handled
by the University of Virginia's attorney, Venable Minor. This is to advise you that the City of Falls Church proposes to offer the sum
of $100,000.00 for that tract of land in the City know as the Joseph H. Riley
tract, located at the corner of Park Avenue and Little Falls Street, containing
8.321 acres of land. The University house on East Range at present occupied by Dr. David C. Wilson
has suddenly become vacant as a result of Professor Wilson's resignation, effective
July 1st. In accordance with your request, I have given careful consideration to Mr.
Talbott's letter to you of May 21, 1956, asking for an opinion from me on the
admissibility of a male Negro applicant to the College of Liberal Arts of the
University of Virginia. The application is accompanied by credentials which
show him to be otherwise entitled to admission. The fact that the State of
Virginia maintains a liberal arts college for Negroes at Petersburg, under the
name of Virginia State College, has also been noted. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of The Rector, in the Office of the President of the University, at Charlottesville, with the
following present. The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr., President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., Chancellor
Grellet C. Simpson, Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett, Gray, Greear, Hartfield, Howard,
Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, and Wheeler. Absent: Visitors Gravatt and Mr.
Smith. The University's Special Counsel, Mr. C. Venable Minor, was present during a portion of
the meeting and participated in discussions of the real estate transactions at Fredericksburg,
Falls Church, and Clinch Valley as outlined below. The present R.O.T.C. units at the University of Virginia, starting with the
Navy in 1940, have been organized at the request of the University. The enrollment
in these units is covered by public law. Enrollment is entirely voluntary. (This
is not the case at the so-called land grant colleges and universities). The first
two years (first year only for the Naval ROTC Regulars) a member may withdraw at
his own request. Approval of the resignation is accomplished at the Unit Command
level. Starting with the third year, ROTC members receive subsistence
compensation, and approval of the resignation can only be made at Departmental
(or delegated) level. At a meeting of the Nursing School Advisory Committee, with all members present
this morning, it was unanimously agreed that the plan of reorganization of the
Department of Nursing as a separate School of Nursing with the arrangements which we
have discussed previously, be recommended to you and to the Board of Visitors. To be
more specific, we should like to recommend that the Department of Nursing become The
University of Virginia School of Nursing, with a separate dean and with full academic
status as a separate school within the University. It would be understood that in
academic matters the School of Nursing would have complete autonomy, but that in
administrative matters effecting the Medical Center, the Dean of the School of
Nursing would answer to the Director of the Medical Center (the Dean of the Medical
School). Pursuant to their appointment by this Board in June, 1956, as its committee to
study the question of where the Northern Virginia branch of the University should be
located, the undersigned, as a first step in their inquiry, held a public hearing in
Alexandria on July 21, after issuing special invitations to the members of the General
Assembly in the area and the authorities of the several political subdivisions, as
well as general invitations through the press to the interested public, to attend and
assist the committee by giving it their views and such information as they thought might
be helpful. Thereafter the committee personally investigated the sites suggested,
interviewed those persons having particular knowledge of the different tracts, made
measurements of the time and distance of the several locations from the populous areas
and from the rural sections to be served, and considered the availability thereto of
public transportation, sewerage facilities, and water supplies as well as the
accessibility of the property by highway, and their situation with respect to the high
schools in Northern Virginia. I am writing you relative to the proposed plan for the construction of a new
dormitory housing approximately 176 students for which we have an appropriation
of $192,500.00. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at the University, convening in open session in Room 202 Rouss Hall, with the
following present: President Colgate W. Darden, Jr. and Visitors Berkeley, Bryan, Coxe, Emmett,
Gravatt, Greear, Hartfield, Howard, Jones, McWane, Martin, Pollock, Mrs. Smith, Mr. Smith, and
Wheeler. Absent: The Rector, Frank Talbott, Jr. and Visitor Gray. Most of the members of the
public present during the morning session were delegations and individuals who appeared before the
Board on behalf of various sites for the proposed Northern Virginia College of the University.
Several representatives of the press were also present. Confirming our conversation concerning an employee of Seward Forest who is sick
with cancer, the circumstances are as follows: The present regulation for admission of women students to Engineering calls for at
least 60 semester-hours credit and a minimum age of 20. This was passed by the
Board of Visitors sometime during the 20's so I wonder if it would not be well to
reconsider the matter since opinions have changed quite a bit since that time. If
you feel that it is advisable to present this matter to the Board of Visitors for
reconsideration, I suggest that the minimum age be changed to 18 so an outstanding
student who has completed two years of college elsewhere may be considered for admission.
I agree with the requirement of 60 semester-hours as I do not believe it would be
advisable for a girl of 16 or 17 to make the transition from high school to
college in a predominantly boys' school. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

relating to the College, and Mr. L. Burwell Gunn and Mr. Donald Willcox of the
State-Planters Bank were present from 10:10 to 11:00 to discuss the current
investments of the Consolidated Endowment Funds. At our regular Council meeting held on January 7, 1957 I presented
the plan which I discussed with you on December 24, for the widening of
Jefferson Park Avenue from its intersection with Main Street back to
the Hospital entrance. Enclosed is a copy of the proposal of the Committee on Private
Practice of the Clinical Staff of the Medical School. This proposal has
been reviewed by the Dean and approved by him, and I went over it
yesterday with Dr. Vest. You will recall that before you left for your trip around the
world I mentioned that the Committee on Contractual Relations was
considering a new type of insurance provided by the Teachers Insurance
and Annuity Association. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Mr. Edgar E. Woodward, Bursar of Mary Washington College, was present during the
discussion of the College budget. I have your letter of March 28, 1957, requesting my opinion in
regard to the above captioned matter, and I have given careful
consideration to the correspondence enclosed therewith. It is my
understanding, however, that the University is not interested in the
arguments as to whether or not the J.A.G. School will have to obtain
and pay for a license to dispense beer, but is interested in whether
or not it can legally consent to the issuance of such license for
sale of beer on University property. My opinion will therefore be
confined to that point. Board of Visitors' action on the attached indenture is in order,
and I suggest that the Board consider a motion to instruct its
Secretary to communicate to Mr. Edward S. Handy, in care of Mr. Junius
Fishburne of the Peoples National Bank, Charlottesville, Virginia,
their satisfaction over, and acceptance of, the provisions of the deed. In further reference to our telephone conversation of a few days
ago in regard to the exchange of the University and Equitable Realty
Corporation, whereby Equitable Realty Corporation undertakes to convey
in fee simple to the University, a triangular piece of land lying along
the western boundary of the soccer field in exchange for a ninety-nine
(99) year lease from the University of another triangular parcel
adjoining the first, I am enclosing herewith a plat of the properties
to be exchanged, on which the property to be conveyed to the
University is designated as Parcel A and marked in blue, while the
parcel to be leased to Equitable Realty is designated Parcel B and
marked in red. At the direction of the Assembly of Professors of the University
of Virginia I have the pleasure to transmit to you herewith a resolution
passed by this body at a recent meeting. As you doubtless know this
body is composed of all members of the University faculty of
professorial rank. I am confident that the sentiments expressed in
this resolution accurately express the feelings of the University
faculty Word has reached the faculty of the Graduate School of Business
Administration that you have expressed the intention of resigning
from the presidency of the University within the next two years. At
a meeting of the faculty of the School held on February 27 it was
unanimously voted that I be instructed to write to you on behalf of
the faculty and respectfully ask you to reconsider such a decision
and remain in office for the full term of your office. We have just had a meeting of the law faculty at which concern
was again expressed about your consideration of resignation. I am
writing for myself and my colleagues, and at their direction, in saying
that this would be a great misfortune to the University and to us
personally. We heartily endorse the resolution of the Association of
Professors | | | Similar Items: | Find |

absent, has not yet taken his seat upon the Board. I had been looking forward to having an opportunity to come to the
University this fall and to discuss with you the John Langbourne Williams
Memorial Fund about which I wrote you under date of January 18, 1955. As
a result of Elizabeth's illness I was not able to carry out my plan. I
provided in my letter that if I did not by December 31, 1956 designate
how the income from this fund was to be used, the income was to be used
for the general purposes of the University. Since I would like it to be
used for a special purpose and since I have not for the reason mentioned
been able to discuss it with you, I am writing this letter to set forth
how I would like for this fund to be handled. If it is not satisfactory
in every particular, I shall be delighted to come to the University some
time next year to discuss it with you. . . . Another subject has come up which I desire to present to you At a meeting with Mr. Malcolm Luck, Secretary of the University of
Virginia Alumni Association, Mr. Knox Turnbull, Secretary of the Alumni
Fund, Mr. Vincent Shea, Comptroller of the University, and myself, we
agreed on January 31, and by subsequent letter approved, to recommend
that In the light of recent discussions with Mr. Shea, Mr. Stacey and Dr.
Bobbitt, I should like to request approval of a revision of the
compensation arrangements in the Department of Clinical Pathology designed
to bring them more nearly in line with scale in other schools and with
the Department of Pathology in this school. It is proposed that all
earnings from private ambulatory patients be segregated in a special fund
in the Bursar's Office in the name of the Department of Clinical
Pathology, that costs to the hospital for the maintenance of these
services be paid from this fund and the remainder be used to supplement
the salaries of individuals in the Department of Clinical Pathology, the
limits on these salaries to be the same as those in the Department of
Pathology, namely, the old pre-clinical scale plus up to 50%. Any
surplus remaining is to used at the discretion of the Department. I have had some conferences and correspondence during the past
several weeks with Charles E. Wheeler of Easton, Maryland, local counsel
for this estate, with regard to the preparation of the second
administration and distribution account and the Maryland estate tax
return. REPORT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE As Secretary of the Faculty I have the pleasant duty of enclosing
the resolution which was adopted by the Faculty of Mary Washington

dormitories will be greater than the revenue. I believe that we should
raise our charges $25 per student for all accomodations. This would make
the charge in the new dormitories $200 instead of the present $175. Basis for the request for an increase in the Student Health Service
medical fee from $20 to $25 beginning in the Session 1958-1959. At a called meeting of the University Senate on October 3, 1957 the
following programs were presented for final review and were approved. I
should like now to recommend them to your office for submission to the

study of the University. This study was made for the fiscal year 195253.
Applying the general procedures of that study to our present costs,
I have come up with the following I have your Special Delivery letter of November 27 requesting that I
provide a set of written proposals to the Board of Visitors covering the
sites recommended to the Board by our Board of Control in our letter of
November 15th. I regret that you have not had a more prompt response,
but I did not receive your letter until December 3rd (Tuesday) when it
was forwarded to me in Richmond where I was on the General Assembly

of the Board to reduce the library fee has been sent to you. Based on
this opinion, I should like to recommend that the Board be asked this
Saturday to reduce the library fee from the present $20.00 to $6.00, and
that it be made applicable to all students enrolled. Based on the
estimated enrollment next session of 5,000, this will yield $30,000, an
amount more than adequate to cover the principal and interest charges. May I take this opportunity to submit the attached proposal for
revising the statement of fees on pages 34 and 35 in the catalogue of
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. If these proposals meet with
your approval, would you please submit them to the Board for their
action if this is necessary. I enclose copy of Mr. William Hanckel's letter concerning the

purchase of the property, under the terms set forth in Mr. Hanckel's
letter. Confirming our conversation of today, Mrs. Bowles would like to
work out an arrangement whereby she would sell the University 39 acres
less 9.818 acres. This 9.818 acres she will agree to sell the
University when she desires to upon giving the University 90 day notice. Your special committee on the Paunch issue of The Spectator submits
its report herewith. You asked us to determine whether or not this issue
of The Spectator discredited the name of the University of Virginia, and
if so, whether to a degree sufficient to warrant your bringing the matter
before the Student Council. I send you this note to confirm the views expressed to you in our
talk a few days ago about the Spectator. Since Mr. Carlson, the Editor,
is not eligible to continue the direction of the magazine, because of
academic probation, you will be required to appoint a new editor and
approve the staff selected by him. In doing this I wish you to bear in
mind that though you act as the Board chosen by the Jefferson Society
which owns Spectator, you act also as representatives of the University.
In fact as in the public understanding, a magazine published by a student
group at the University, using University buildings and under the control
of a society of the University with long and distinguished history, has
an important sanction from the University. The public may with reason
judge the University accordingly. The University's reputation is dear to
all of us who serve it and love it. It is not the property of one small
group to be dealt with in the uncontrolled judgment of that group,
however honest that judgment may be. Our mutual friend and benefactor, Mrs. Preston Davie, has now given
each of our institutions a work of art. To the University in 1956 came a
small (25 3/8″h × 19 1/2″w) portrait of Raleigh, and to the Museum in
1957, a larger (45″h × 32 1/2″w) portrait of Burke. The official
appraisals by French and Company are. Raleigh $7,500, Burke $8,500. I
enclose photographs of each portrait. 1. The Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Foundation has recently adopted the following resolution. That there be
established "not later than the college year 1959-60 the Thomas
Jefferson Foundation Fellowships paying $1,500.00 per annum plus
tuition, in general along the lines set forth in the Memorandum of July
10, 1957, from Mr. Oron J. Hale, Chairman of the Department of History,
to Mr. Colgate W. Darden, Jr., President of the University, and
contribute up to $5,000.00 per year towards such Fellowships, with the
understanding that this Foundation would match the amount put up by the
University up to $5,000.00 and would, if Fellows of the desired type in
sufficient number can be obtained, put up additional amounts, it being
contemplated that the Foundation would in such case contribute at least
$15,000.00 per year towards the expense of these Fellowships and quite
possibly even more in the future." 1. The Corcoran Department of History recommends appointment
of Dr. Dumas Malone as Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History,
effective July 1, 1959, and that during the session 1958-1959, when Dr.
Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University, he be
appointed Visiting Professor of History in the University of Virginia.
The terms of the appointment are those stated in the "Resolution For The
Board of Directors of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation," of
which paragraph one specifies the grants and salary to be paid to
Professor Malone by the Foundation. Salary and Foundation grants will
amount to $15,000 annually. I concur with the Department of History in recommending that Dr.
Dumas Malone be appointed Visiting Professor of History, without salary,
for the academic year 1958-59 beginning July 1, 1958. During this
time, Dr. Malone will be on sabbatical leave from Columbia University.
It is my understanding that he will receive a supplemental research
grant from the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation. I transmit to you the recommendation of the Corcoran Department of
History, with my concurrence, that Dr. Dumas Malone be appointed Thomas
Jefferson Foundation Professor of History effective July 1, 1959, for a
term of three years, at a twelve month salary of $7,500 per year. I take pleasure in quoting the resolution unanimously adopted at a
meeting of the University of Virginia Law School Foundation October 11,
1957, as follows Professional Leave for Graduate Study | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Paschall (who had an urgent conflicting engagement) and Smith (who was in Charlottesville,
though unwell, and participated in the work of three Board committees during the week-end) I wish to submit herewith my resignation as President of the University, to be
effective as soon as the Board has selected a new President and he is prepared to take
over the duties of this office On May 8 you requested me to find out from the local committee at Wise about what
suggestions they had on the location of the auditorium authorized by the Assembly last
winter. The committee at Wise has two recommendations first, that Mr. Charles B.
McElroy be employed as architect on the gymnasium-auditorium, second, that the gymnasium-auditorium
be located on the site between the Coeburn Road and the building now used for
faculty apartments (the Old Detention Home) I should like to recommend two changes in the present TIAA-CREF annuity program, which
should be presented to the Board if you approve. The Student Council wishes to submit the following traffic control recommendations for your
consideration I am enclosing a revised copy of the regulations governing use of motor vehicles by students
in the undergraduate schools of the University as approved unanimously by the Committee on
Undergraduates at its meeting on Friday, May 30, 1958. This meeting was also attended by Miss
Tyson from the School of Nursing and Mr. Nichols from the School of Architecture. I strongly
recommend adoption of these regulations by the Board of Visitors and propose that they take
effect with students entering in September, 1958. I feel that those sections dealing with
warning, probation, and conviction of drunken and/or reckless driving should become effective
for all undergraduate students in September, 1958 The Student Council at its meeting on May 19, 1958, unanimously passed the following
motion. To recommend that all students who register cars have compulsory insurance As you know, Prof. Vyssotsky is retiring this June. Approximately 25 years ago he
requested permission from the University to build a home near the observatory. President
Newcomb advised him that he would bring the matter to the Board of Visitors and secure a
lease for him. Mr. Vyssotsky said that he checked several times with Mr. Carruthers, who
was then Secretary of the Board, to see if any action had been taken. He was assured that
it would be forth coming and to proceed with the construction of his residence REPORT OF THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE FOR THE SESSION 1957-58 At the Annual meeting of the Trustees of McGregor Fund careful consideration was given to your
letter of April 28 and to a continuation of support of the Tracy W. McGregor Library at the
University. I am pleased to report that the Trustees appropriated $12,000 a year for each
of the five years commencing July 1, 1958, for accessions to the McGregor Library, and checks
will be forthcoming quarterly as in the past, commencing around July 1 | | | Similar Items: | Find |

resulted in water damage to luggage and clothing belonging to students. You state that
you have been presented with claims from the students suffering these damages in the
amount of $275.00. You ask my advice as to whether or not these claims should be paid The Virginia Electric and Power Company has been requested to provide electric service
to the individual property owners of Westmont Subdivision, located in the southwest section

in Rutherford County, and threatened to cross the mountains to the Western waters, Colonel
William Campbell, with four hundred men, of Washington County, of Virginia, Colonel Isaac
Shelby, with two hundred and forty men from Sullivan County, of North Carolina, and Lieutenant-colonel
Sevier, with two hundred and forty men, of
Washington County, of North Carolina, assembled at
Watauga, on the twenty-fifth day of September, where
they were joined by Colonel Charles M'Dowell, with one
hundred and sixty men, from the counties of Burke and
Rutherford, who had fled before the enemy to the Western
waters. We began our march on the twenty-sixth,
and on the thirtieth we were joined by Colonel Cleaveland,
on the Catawba River, with three hundred men,
from the counties of Wilkes and Surrey. No one officer
having properly the right to the command-in-chief, on
the first of October we despatched an express to Major-general
Gates, informing him of our situation, and requested
him to send a general officer to take command
of the whole. In the mean time, Colonel Campbell was
chosen to act as commandant, till such general officer
should arrive. We marched to the Cowpens, on Broad
River, in South Carolina, where we were joined by
Colonel James Williams, with four hundred men, on the
evening of the sixth of October, who informed us that
the enemy lay encamped somewhere near the Cherokee Ford, off Broad River, about thirty miles
distant from us. By a council of principal officers, it was then thought advisable to pursue the
enemy that night with nine hundred of the best horsemen, and have the weak horse and foot
men to follow us as fast as possible. We began our march with nine hundred of the best men
about eight o'clock the same evening, and, marching all night, came up with the enemy about
three o'clock P.M. of the seventh, who lay encamped on the top of King's Mountain, twelve
miles north of the Cherokee Ford, in the confidence that they could not be forced from so advantageous
a post. Previous to the attack on our march, the following disposition was made:
Colonel Shelby's regiment formed a column in the centre on the left; Colonel Campbell's regiment
another on the right, with part of Colonel Cleaveland's regiment, headed in front by Major
Joseph Winston; and Colonel Sevier's formed a large column on the right wing. The other
part of Cleaveland's regiment, headed by Colonel Cleaveland himself, and Colonel William's
regiment, composed the left wing. In this order we advanced, and got within a quarter of a
mile of the enemy before we were discovered. Colonel Shelby's and Colonel Campbell's regiments
began the attack, and kept up a fire on the enemy, while the right and left wings were
advancing to surround them, which was done in about five minutes, when the fire became general
all around. The engagement lasted an hour and five minutes, the greater part of which a
heavy and incessant fire was kept up on both sides. Our men, in some parts where the regulars
fought, were obliged to give way a distance, two or three times, but rallied and returned with
additional ardor to the attack. The troops upon the right having gained the summit of the
eminence, obliged the enemy to retreat along the summit of the ridge to where Colonel Cleaveland
commanded, and were there stopped by his brave men. A flag was immediately hoisted
by Captain Depeyster, the commanding officer (Major Ferguson having been killed a little before),
for a surrender. Our fire immediately ceased, and the enemy laid down their arms (the
greater part of them charged) and surrendered themselves prisoners at discretion. It appears
from their own provision returns for that day, found in their camp, that their whole force consisted
of eleven hundred and twenty-five men, out of which they sustained the following loss: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

which La Folle's cabin stood. Between the stream and the hut lay
a big abandoned field, where cattle were pastured when the bayou
supplied them with water enough. Through the woods that spread
back into unknown regions the woman had drawn an imaginary line,
and past this circle she never stepped. This was the form of her
only mania. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

it matters little where, a fierce battle was fought. It was fought
upon a long summer day when the waving grass was green. Many a
wild flower formed by the Almighty Hand to be a perfumed goblet for
the dew, felt its enamelled cup filled high with blood that day,
and shrinking dropped. Many an insect deriving its delicate colour
from harmless leaves and herbs, was stained anew that day by dying
men, and marked its frightened way with an unnatural track. The
painted butterfly took blood into the air upon the edges of its
wings. The stream ran red. The trodden ground became a quagmire,
whence, from sullen pools collected in the prints of human feet and
horses' hoofs, the one prevailing hue still lowered and glimmered
at the sun. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

ticked loudly and lazily, as if it had time to spare. Outside
the rattling windows there was a restless, whispering wind.
The room grew light, and dark, and wondrous light again, as
the moon played hide-and-seek through the clouds. The boy,
wide-awake and quiet in his bed, was thinking of the Stranger
and his stories. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

devise a more sweeping opening; it includes the iceman who does a
humorous article on the subject of his troubles, and the
neglected wife next door, who journalizes) knows that a story the scene of
which is not New York is merely junk. Take Fifth Avenue as a

They were all seated around
the dining-room table, making houses and furnishing them. The houses were
made out of pasteboard shoe boxes, and had square holes cut in them for doors,
and other long holes for windows, and had pasteboard chairs and tables, and
bits of dress goods for carpets and rugs, and bits of tissue paper stuck
up to the windows for lace curtains. Three of the houses were long and low,
but Bert had placed his box on one end and divided it into five stories,
and Flossie said it looked exactly like a "department" house in New York. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

studio. There were nine of them present, besides Brewster. They were all
young, more or less enterprising, hopeful, and reasonably sure of better
things to come. Most of them bore names that meant something in the story
of New York. Indeed, one of them had remarked, "A man is known by the street
that's named after him," and as he was a new member, they called him "Subway." | | | Similar Items: | Find |

enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers
have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will
to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing,
questionable questions! It is already a long story; yet it seems
as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at last
grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That
this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is
it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT really is this
"Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the
question as to the origin of this Will--until at last we came to
an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We
inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the
truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance?
The
problem of the value of truth presented itself before us--or
was it we who presented ourselves before the problem? Which of us
is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a
rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation. And could it
be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had
never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern
it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in
raising it, perhaps there is no greater risk. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

satisfied with a very crude explanation of natural
phenomena—that to which the name "animism"
has been given. In this stage of mental development
all the various forces of Nature are personified:
the rushing torrent, the devastating fire, the wind
rustling the forest leaves—in the mind of the animistic
savage all these are personalities, spirits, like himself,
but animated by motives more or less antagonistic
to him. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

unanswered, I have procrastinated untill I am aschamed to
seat my self to write
eaven to the kindest of friends. One request I will
ask of you that is to forgive & forget, I intended writing before I left camp. But after I had a chance for a furlough I
thought I would wait
untill I got home & then I might come
down, But alas it seems that I can never get
away from home, I have had very bad health ever
since I came home. Some days I suffer with chills & fevers
with violent headeache & pains in my
limbs. Father is very ill with the mumps, though I think he is getting
better, It will be my time to have them
next, as I never had them, I have had chances to
have taken them before,Propberably I may miſs them this time, I wou,nt care if I ware so fortunate
Well I reckon you think, “What have I been doing towards enjoying
myself” since I came home, The blues have been my most constant companion I declair I never was as lonesome in my life Time seems to stand still on her
wheels, Tom is busy blowing so if I wanted to go anywhare I
have no horse to wride. I formed a slight
acquaintance with your friend Fannie Seems to be
a very nice girl, Kind I think would make a
noble coquet,
But you must not tell her that I ever thought such a
thing, well you know that it is natural
for self willed man to form an opinion of
the fairer sext on first sight. Well I do not
know what to write to interrest you I
promist to answer the questions that I
asked in my last letter in ref
erence to your Cousin Lizzie,
But I will wait hoping that I may see you before long. Then
I can answer you verbaly, I know that I can
sadisfy you in that way better than by writing I suppose you have already form some idea of my reason for asking you I hope that I may soon get my
health & be able to help work some on the farm as we will be late
with the spring crop I suppose you ware surprised to hear of me coming home as you
wrote that I wou'nt come home for six months.
Thare
if I could get a furlough,
Tharefore
do'nt suppose you are very ancious to see me, But for my part I
never was as ancious to see you in my life Though you may think my actions do not prove it, Well you must
recolect my health & more I have no way of getting about, Dispair not I will be down ear long, And then my long absence will
make it a hapier meet-
ing, Often you are by my side in my nightly dreams them it seemes that
I am happy, But I wake up & find it all
delusion I must bring this uninterres

two then direct to Lexington; Thare never was a letter
recieved with more pleasure, or perused with
more interest; When Abe returned to camp we
ware on picket & did'nt get to camp untill the 4th; I believe my letter was enclosed in one of packes he gave it to me on the 6th I hope you will not be low spirited when this
reaches you for I do not feel as if I could interest you this eavening. I spent part of the four noon of this blessed day at our little chaple; Thare was a large congregation all seemed to pa strict
attention to the word of
life; oh how I do wish all our soldiers would
become pious men I am sure then our armies would be
invincible I sometimes think your
brother is trying to be a better boy. I pray I may be right for I hope
to see him a true christian I nead not ask you to make him a special object in
your secreet communings for I am sure you do,; Thare is no news in camp worth your attention.
Evrything is quiet as far as I know The wether has been very inclemment for the last two weeks;) first snow then
rain my darling Kate you said your face could
not ware a joyous smile,
untill you could behold my face, Cheer up
my ever faithfull
one I hope the time will soon hasten round when
we may meet, But I pray the not to put off smiling
untill I come, but rather try
& be cheerfull & hapy. darling I am sorry that my last
letter brought with it sorrow to thy
noble heart; God knows I would not purpos
ly give the trouble. Would that I ware so situ ated that I could say to
the idle of my
heart lean upon my heartarm
an I will support the
through life with a willingneſs that would now no end.” That dream of yours oh that it was a reality I
my hapineſs would be compleat,
Often in my nightly slumber you are by my side & I wake finding my
arms around my friend Trot—oh i
Dear Kate I fear you have some clue that will be
injurious to your kind sisters
hapineſs in the future I wou
ld be sorry if anything should accur to cause her to be sorry for her change in life I have heard rumers but I hope
thay are al
false My wish is that she may be hapy throughout her days, You need not
look for me this summer without sickneſs or the Yanks give me a fur
lough. The detail I was at home on counted as a furlough I would be sadisfied if I
was sure you ware hapy, Abe told me you
desired me to direct your letter in the care of your friend Rachel I think we had better continue to direct as we have in the past for if your parents shuld ever find out you were
corissponding with me in a secreet way
thare anger would be increased against both of
uns;
while they do not positivly object
we had best write openly dear
Kate what can I do to alleviate your troubles, I love you yes
passionately & if you think you have
ever treated me rong I forgive thee, &
will if you will permit love and cherish
the
more then I ever
did, I believe my own coldneſs brought on our
troubles about but I believe they will be a blesing to us both I am sure it has drawn
thee nearer to me, I can only say speed on sweet day
when I may meet thee. I must soon close My
health is very good & I hope this may find you enjoying the
same with ceerfull spirits. Give my
love to you sister & writesoon It is getting so dark that I can hardly see how to write I have not hurd from Bro.
Charles only by your letter Sister is well She desires to
know your name I will give it to her in my next

rations I hasten to drop you a few lines knowing you will be ancious to hear from me. I arrived safly in camp the 15th. found all the boys well; They ware all camped in line of battle at Fishers
hill above Strausburg. We had a fine commanding
position & well fortified: The enimy
thought it prudent to make a retrogade
moovment & commenced retreating
& had a slight engagement
in the eavning near Winchester. Our Brigade
never got close enou
gh to fire at the Yanks;
Some of thare
laden messengers came
unplesantly near us. The wing was reported
to have a large army from 40 to 50 thousand We
have been reinforced by /one division of Longstreets corps & two Brigade of F.H. Lee cavilry. The enimy
dis stroyed nearly the entire wheat crop from
Winchester to Straus
burg. burned may barns. We are now lying in
the woods near
Bunkers hill. ten miles below
Winchester have orders to be read
y to moove at any moment
none of us no wich way we will
moove
next some think in to Maryland I had a fine time coming down the valley; Ive come down the back
way; ware treated kindly at mo
plases by the duch of Rockin
ham &
Shanandoor; all the objections I had to the girls they ware all
barefooted & as I thought awkward
in thare
manners; They would commence ta

presance, often I thought they might be
talking about me. None that I saw could I think half as much of as my

writing the day after I got to camp but was sent to the ordinance wagon & coming
back to camp I stoped at a Batery & found my cousin R. Brand & stay
ed nearly all day with him;
he is a nice young man; I think you
would know him he is still readheaded & freckles in his face. For a few
day after leaving I think I was a little low spirited probably you can account for
it
I don'nt think it was leaving
Lottie; though her company was very agreeable.
Since I have got with the boys I have been in fine spir

of health, I
hope theese lines may find
you enjoying the same blessing Jake is
enjoying fine health. Abe & Hunter the same Abe is now by my side writing to his better half Be cheerfull

nothing to live for if it was not for thee; It is an

Hays,{1} James

were on picket at Waidsville on the Opecken
river one & a half miles from Brucetown; only thirty men of the 5th Regtwas thare a very small force
to contend with the two brigads of Cavelry,
We held them in check for about three quarters of an hour. When about
two Hundred charged acroſs the ford
getting into our rear, we all clubed together
& fell back about two Hundred yards,
When the Wcavelry that had got in our
rear charged us
cauling loudly on sus to surrender, But the little band
heeded them not but
continued pooring volley after volley into thare midts, almost evry shot
taking effect. one charged up within six or eight yards of me whirling his
sword around one of company D who threw down his gun & surrendered, he then
cauled on me to surrender,
the
boys kept hollowing to me to shoot
him but unfortunatly I had just shot
at the bulk when he road up I pre tended to have my gun loaded & ready to shoot him
if he moved. Several of the boys fired at him & the balls
coming so unplesantly near him he whirled
his horse & made tracks
we soon percieved we
were getting them demorolised
& we charged them, driving them from our front, we
ha'nt got more than three Hundred yds when thay
ware reinforced & charged us again in wich our boys ware taken.
thay ware trying to lget to a smallbunch of timber; seeing they could not reach in time
they whirled & fired into the
advancing foe & kept loading firing
untill thay ware all mixed up with the
foe, Seeing thay ware
overpowered & a further attempt to whip the enemy usleſs,
thay surrendered several of our boys seen them going back under guard,
all of us that made for a deep ravine got out safe, one overtook little George Hutchison just
as he got to the ravine & ordered him to surrender George said he was almost scared to death at the
old sword whizzing around his head but he jumped
into the brush & shot the Yank dead of his
horse, our loss in killed &
wounded was very light One of Comp. H was
mortally wounded & died in the eavning
his name was Strausburg{5}, a brother
to the Strausburg in our band.

Jake was enjoying very good health I hope he may meet with kind friends
& mild treatment also the

this may still find your health improving & enjoying many blessings My health is very good & hope
it may contin so. On the 19th we had one of the hardest
Battles that was ever fought around Win-
chester or in the Valley of Va. And the wosrst of all I hov to acknowlegdge we
ware badly whiped. Many
brave Southerners
bit the
dust,
thare in our noble cause. By the mercies of a
great & good God I am still spared I
cannot be to thankfull for the many
speccial providences that has
protected me thus far. His loving kindneſs has been very
grate towards me & my prayer is that I
may so walk as becometh one of his true followers. Our Comp came out very well I think. only one wounded. Wm Plunkett
recieved a flesh wound in the thigh. & was loſt in Winchester He was wounded just as we ware fal
ling back into Winchester. Our defeat was I think
caused by our Army being scattered. Our Devision the day before went to Martingsburg. drving the Yankee
cavelry from that plase. We
fell back the same day to Bunkers Hill.
twelve miles below Winchester &
Roads{1}
Division was camped some ten miles below
Winchest.& before we could get to
Winchester the other portion of the Army was nearly whipt & at the same time thay
ware trying to cut us of from Winchester. But we arrived thare in time to meet the heaveist onset of the Battle,
& succeeded in driving the enemy near a
mile when evry thing lay quiet except
skirmishing untill the middle of the eavning. When the
enimies cavelry drove our Cav. back
then making three or four desperate
charges on the left flank of our lines driving them back in confusion which soon demorolised the hole army We
have to morn the loſs of many brave men
and officers. Maj. Gen. Roads was
killed early in the engagment
one among the best officers in our army Colonel Funk{2}
was mortally woundedthro
ugh the bowels & left at his home in
Winchester I hope he may recover but it is
doubtfull. Maj. Newton{3} was wounded in the ankle bone broken is on his
way home. He acted very bravely in trying to rally the men. All say he
convered him self with glory. Capt J Bumgarner{4}
was killed also{5}
Lieut J. B. McGuffin My Cous, R. Brand was badly wounded one thigh broken the other a
flesh wound
had to leave him on the field his comp told me he beged them
to take him of the field, but the enimy was so close that they could not. all that tried to get off ware wounded
& killed but one poor fellow I pittie him & hope he may
be kindly cared for, Cous & Koiner
came out safe. We are now lying in line of Battle at Fishers Hill. Both canon and musketry are loudly booming
on our front The enimy
are trying to drive in our skirmishers. We may be closely
engaged before two hours. We are strongly fortified & have a
commanding position I think by the blessing of
God, we may be able to give them a sound thrashing I am fear
ful they may advance up the Page Valley &
cause us to fall back as we have only a small cavelry force commanding it I hope you will
not take the capture of Jake to much to heart I cant help but
think he is not in as much danger as if he was

corn but I think if Providence dont smile on us & give us a little rain, the corn
crop will be cut short in this neighborhood. we have
not had but one rain in the last two months but I still have some
hopes yet Will, we made a fine crop of oats I think we will make about 1500 hundred bushels. Will you said something about being an old
grayheaded bachelor

where love & beauty reigns I
think you could find some old widow that
would sympathise with you in your
troubles,—for I cannot after hearing how badly you treated
Kate one that you loved so dearly but alaſs
that love is forgotten. will if you cannot love her
again I would not advise you to marry her for it would be unwise to
marry any lady without true love—Will said something about the times being better in
RockBridge & your substitute for

began to teach a colored school. Miss Myrover's friends are mentioned
here, because nowhere more than in a Southern town is public opinion a
force which cannot be lightly contravened. Public opinion, however, did
not oppose Miss Myrover's teaching colored children; in fact, all the
colored public schools in town — and there were several — were taught
by white teachers, and had been so taught since the state had undertaken
to provide free public instruction for all children within its boundaries.
Previous to that time there had been a Freedman's Bureau school and a
Presbyterian missionary school, but these had been withdrawn when the
need for them became less pressing. The colored people of the town had
been for some time agitating their right to teach their own schools, but
as yet the claim had not been conceded. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Georgia (Perry H. Oliver by name) bought a likely negro woman
with some other field-hands. She was stout, tough-muscled,
willing, promised to be a remunerative servant; her baby, however,
a boy a few months old, was only thrown in as a makeweight to the
bargain, or rather because Mr. Oliver would not consent to separate
mother and child. Charity only could have induced him to take the
picaninny, in fact, for he was but a lump of black flesh, born blind,
and with the vacant grin of idiocy, they thought, already stamped on
his face. The two slaves were purchased, I believe, from a trader: it
has been impossible, therefore, for me to ascertain where Tom was
born, or when. Georgia field-hands are not accurate as Jews in
preserving their genealogy; they do not anticipate a Messiah.
A white man, you know, has that vague hope unconsciously latent
in him, that he is, or shall give birth to, the great man of his race, a
helper, a provider for the world's hunger: so he grows jealous with
his blood; the dead grandfather may have presaged the possible son;
besides, it is a debt he owes to this coming Saul to tell him whence
he came. There are some classes, free and slave, out of whom
society has crushed this hope: they have no clan, no family-names
among them, therefore. This idiot-boy, chosen by God to be
anointed with the holy chrism, is only "Tom,"—"Blind Tom," they
call him in all the Southern States, with a kind cadence always,
being proud and fond of him; and yet—nothing but Tom? That is
pitiful. Just a mushroom-growth,—unkinned, unexpected, not hoped
for, for generations, owning no name to purify and honor and give
away when he is dead. His mother, at work to-day in the Oliver
plantations, can never comprehend why her boy is famous; this gift
of God to him means nothing to her. Nothing to him, either, which
is saddest of all; he is unconscious, wears his crown as an idiot
might. Whose fault is that? Deeper than slavery the evil lies. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

science, an eminent proficient in every branch of natural
philosophy, who not long
before our story opens had made experience of a spiritual affinity
more attractive than any chemical one. He had left his laboratory
to the
care of
an assistant, cleared his fine countenance from the furnace smoke,
washed
the stain of acids from his fingers, and persuaded a beautiful
woman to
become his wife. In those days when the comparatively recent
discovery
of electricity and other kindred mysteries of Nature seemed to open
paths
into the region of miracle, it was not unusual for the love of
science to
rival the love of woman in its depth and absorbing energy. The
higher intellect, the imagination, the spirit, and even the heart
might all
find their
congenial aliment in pursuits which, as some of their ardent
votaries believed, would ascend from one step of powerful
intelligence to
another,
until the philosopher should lay his hand on the secret of creative
force
and perhaps make new worlds for himself. We know not whether Aylmer
possessed this degree of faith in man's ultimate control over
Nature. He
had devoted himself, however, too unreservedly to scientific
studies ever
to be weaned from them by any second passion. His love for his
young
wife might prove the stronger of the two; but it could only be by
intertwining itself with his love of science, and uniting the
strength
of the latter to his own. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

stroller along the docks of any considerable sea-port would
occasionally have his attention arrested by a group of bronzed
mariners, man-of-war's men or merchant-sailors in holiday attire
ashore on liberty. In certain instances they would flank, or, like a
body-guard quite surround some superior figure of their own class,
moving along with them like Aldebaran among the lesser lights of his
constellation. That signal object was the "Handsome Sailor" of the
less prosaic time alike of the military and merchant navies. With no
perceptible trace of the vainglorious about him, rather with the
off-hand unaffectedness of natural regality, he seemed to accept the
spontaneous homage of his shipmates. A somewhat remarkable instance
recurs to me. In Liverpool, now half a century ago, I saw under the
shadow of the great dingy street-wall of Prince's Dock (an obstruction
long since removed) a common sailor, so intensely black that he must
needs have been a native African of the unadulterate blood of Ham. A
symmetric figure much above the average height. The two ends of a
gay silk handkerchief thrown loose about the neck danced upon the
displayed ebony of his chest; in his ears were big hoops of gold,

| 2099 | Author: | Mill, John Stuart, 1806-1873 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Bentham | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | There are two men, recently deceased, to whom their country
is indebted not only for the greater part of the important ideas
which have been thrown into circulation among its thinking men in
their time, but for a revolution in its general modes of thought
and investigation. These men, dissimilar in almost all else,
agreed in being closet-students -- secluded in a peculiar degree,
by circumstances and character, from the business and intercourse
of the world: and both were, through a large portion of their
lives, regarded by those who took the lead in opinion (when they
happened to hear of them) with feelings akin to contempt. But
they were destined to renew a lesson given to mankind by every
age, and always disregarded -- to show that speculative
philosophy, which to the superficial appears a thing so remote
from the business of life and the outward interests of men, is in
reality the thing on earth which most influences them, and in the
long run overbears every other influence save those which it must
itself obey. The writers of whom we speak have never been read by
the multitude; except for the more slight of their works, their
readers have been few.. but they have been the teachers of the
teachers; there is hardly to be found in England an individual of
any importance in the world of mind, who (whatever opinions he
may have afterwards adopted) did not first learn to think from
one of these two; and though their influences have but begun to
diffuse themselves through these intermediate channels over
society at large, there is already scarcely a publication of any
consequence addressed to the educated classes, which, if these
persons had not existed, would not have been different from what
it is. These men are, Jeremy Bentham and Samuel Taylor Coleridge
-- the two great seminal minds of England in their age. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 2100 | Author: | Oskison, John M. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Biologist's Quest | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | JAKE was a collector of small mammal skins for the Smithsonian
authorities in Washington and for the British Museum. His work had been
done mainly in the mountains of Southern California and on the big stretches
of Arizona deserts. In the winter of 1895 there was a good deal of heated
discussion between professor McLean of the Pennsylvania Scientific Society
and one of the scientists at Washington, over the question of whether or not a
certain species of short tailed rat still existed in the Lower California
Peninsula. The Smithsonian authority believed that it did, from reports sent
in by Aldrich, who had collected in the Southwest until 1893, when he was
killed by a superstitious Mexican. The rat, if it existed, was a curious
survival, and the scientist who could secure and classify it would earn an
enviable reputation. So Lake, in the early spring, received orders to go down
into the Lower California region and make a thorough search, following
Aldrich's lead. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 2103 | Author: | Poe, Edgar Allan, 1809-1849 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Black Cat | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about
to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be
to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own
evidence. Yet, mad am I not — and very surely do I not dream. But
to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate
purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and
without comment, a series of mere household events. In their
consequences, these events have terrified — have tortured — have
destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they
have presented little but horror — to many they will seem less
terrible than baroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may
be found which will reduce my phantasm to the commonplace — some
intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my
own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with
awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural
causes and effects. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

into foam by a steam-boat. It was in 1812 when the steamer
called the Comet ran between Glasgow and Greenock, at
the speed of six miles an hour. Since that time more than
a million of steamers or packet-boats have plied this Scotch
river, and the inhabitants of Glasgow must be as familiar
as any people with the wonders of steam navigation. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the Highway, was born at Chipping Norton in 1618. His father,
a simple saddler, had so poor an appreciation of his son's
magnanimity, that he apprenticed him to a butcher; but Hind's
destiny was to embrue his hands in other than the blood of oxen,
and he had not long endured the restraint of this common craft
when forty shillings, the gift of his mother, purchased him an
escape, and carried him triumphant and ambitious to London. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Drake | | | | Published: | 1998 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | HIGH up in an old house, full of poor people, lived Lizzie, with her mother and
baby Billy. The street was a narrow, noisy place, where carts rumbled and dirty
children played; where the sun seldom shone, the fresh wind seldom blew, and the
white snow of winter was turned at once to black mud. One bare room was Lizzie's
home, and out of it she seldom went, for she was a prisoner. We all pity the
poor princesses who were shut up in towers by bad fairies, the men and women in
jails, and the little birds in cages, but Lizzie was a sadder prisoner than any
of these. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

when he told Marguerita Dupré that he could not love her. This sort
of thing happened so often to Louis that he did it very well and rather enjoyed
it, for he was one of those before whom women bloomed instinctively and preened
themselves, and that Marguerita loved him very much was known not only to Louis,
but to all Tres Pinos. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

The clock on the wall ticked loudly and
lazily, as if it had time to spare. Outside the rattling windows there was a
restless, whispering wind. The room grew light, and dark, and wondrous light
again, as the moon played hide-and-seek through the clouds. The boy, wide-awake
and quiet in his bed, was thinking of the Stranger and his stories. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

humorous article on the subject of his troubles, and the
neglected wife next door, who journalizes) knows that a story the scene of
which is not New York is merely junk. Take Fifth Avenue as a
framework, pad it out to five thousand words, and there you have
the ideal short story. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
