 Description: The Visitors of the University met thereat in annual session on the 27th day of June 1887. The Library Committee respectfully report that they have examined the report of James B. Baker, Librarian; The list of Publications by members of the Faculty from July 1886 to June 1887; and the communication of Moncure D. Conway, Esq, asking permission to copy and use "any manuscripts or papers at the University of Va by or relating to the late Hon. Edmund Randolph" and they recommend that the two resolutions accompanying this report be adopted. (The 2 resolutions here referred to are the last two on the next preceding page of this book) Your Committee on Grounds, Buildings & Boarding Houses respectfully report. The Board met this morning pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Having understood that your Hon. body is still unsatisfied 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.

 Description: The Board met pursuant to adjournment on the 30th of 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 to be
