 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 o'clock p.m. There were present Rector Bryan, and Visitors Dillard, Duke, Hart, Hatton, Oliver, Robertson, Scott and Walker. It was my privilege to report to the Board of Visitors at their fall meeting on November 10, your handsome additional gift of $24,000 for a pipe organ for the amphitheatre and for such changes in the amphitheatre as the installation of the organ made necessary. I am instructed by the Rector and Visitors to communicate to you the expression of their profound appreciation of your renewed and far-seeing generosity and good will to the University. They cherish profoundly your good service to the institution, and beg me to assure you that they will do all in their power to see that your wise gifts are thoughtfully and rightly used for the education of our youth. May I be permitted to add the expression of my own deep gratitude and personal affection and esteem. I am authorized by the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to communicate to you the expression of their profound gratitude for your generosity and wisdom in the establishment of the Louis Bennett Scholarship in Law. The Visitors begged me to assure you that they will take care that the scholarship is duly founded and rightly administered in the interest of securing for worthy young men proper instruction in the great subject. in which your husband achieved distinction. The scholarship will appear in our catalogue as the Louis Bennett Scholarship in Law, and we will take pains to acquaint you from year to year of the incumbent of the scholarship. I am instructed by the Rector and Visitors to communicate to you an expression of their appreciation and gratitude for the gift of the library of your husband, the late Professor William Harry Heck. They begged me to assure you that this library will be duly preserved in honor of a devoted teacher and scholar long in the service of the University.
