meeting of the Board on the 15th of June last (p. 169 [156]
of the record), providing for a meeting during the month of
November 1897, to further consider the question of a president
for the University, I caused the secretary to sound the
members as to whether the 26th of Nov. would suit them to attend.
On hearing from them in reply, I became satisfied that
the 10th of December was the earliest day on which a quorum
of the Board could be gotten together, and I requested the
Secretary to summon the Visitors to a meeting on that day,
which was done. University of
Virginia, Decr 10th After a careful inspection of the grounds and buildings,
after an absence of two months, we were strongly impressed
with the desirability of filing with the Building
Committee a report and plan covering all further matters
which we considered as necessary to the completed scheme
of the University Buildings and the treatment of the surrounding
grounds in order that all work from time to time
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
being a gift from the J. W. and Belinda Randall Charities
Corporation, which was voted to you by the trustees on June
10th, 1898. With this gift goes a copy of the vote under
which you must receive this gift or return it to me as trea-
surer. Referring to interview with you this A. M.

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 |
