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 |
