of the first two units of the new heating plant and
the successful operation of the same through its first heating
season. There are now installed about 75 000 square feet of
radiation surface, approximately 72% of the entire heating load

The Rector, Rev. C. Harding Walker, Visitors Duke, McIntire,
McVea, Oliver, Scott and Williams, and President Alderman. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WHITEHEAD SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE I have thought for sometime that I wanted
to do something for my Alma Mater - the University of
Virginia - to which I owe so much; but when the drive was
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
future. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

The Rector C. Harding Walker, Visitors Dillard, Duke, McVea,

13th had interviews with Dr. Hancock and Dr. Lambeth
and saw both heating plants. The Committee is of the
opinion that it would be well for them to be under one
head and as Dr. Hancock has resigned, advise that Dr. Lambeth
be placed in charge of all heating plants. I have the honor herewith to report
on the work of the expedition sent to California
by the Leander of McCormick Observatory to make observations
on the total eclipse of the sun on September
10, 1923. Your letter of the eleventh was duly
received. I went over this morning to see Mr. Bradford
about the transfer of the portrait of Jefferson in the
Colonnade Club to Jefferson Hall. With the assistance of
the janitor there, I hung the picture where Sully's
Jefferson formerly hung. The Jefferson Society has now in its possession
a portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Thomas Sully purchased
some seventy years ago by the Society for the sum of
approximately five hundred dollars. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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
on our Board. The meetings have been a pleasure and
a privilege. RESOLVED, That the Rector and Visitors having
learned with regret, of Dr. Emilie W. McVea's ill
health and resignation, deeply sensible of the loss
to the Board, and appreciating her many kindnesses
and courtesies, have appointed the undersigned committee
to express their sincere hope that she will speedily
recover her health. At the forty-ninth meeting of the

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 |

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 |

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 |

The one is, lest I should hurt you; and the other is,
lest you should hurt me. I do not see any good it
would do me to put a bullet through any part of your
body. I could make no use of you when dead, for
any culinary purpose, as I would a rabbit or a turkey.
I am no cannibal to feed on the flesh of men.
Why then shoot down a human creature, of which
I could make no use. A buffaloe would be better
meat. For though your flesh might be delicate and
tender; yet it wants that firmness and consistency
which takes and retains salt. At any rate it would
not be fit for long sea voyages. You might make a
good barbecue, it is true, being of the nature of a
racoon or an opossum; but people are not in the habit
of barbecuing any thing human now. As to your
hide, it is not worth the taking off, being little better
than that of a year old colt. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

genius and profound knowledge, combined with exalted
moral purity, cannot fail to excite unmingled admiration.
The reputation of an author in whom these qualities are
united, may be circumscribed during life; but its rise and
extension after death, prove that his claim to distinction
are well founded. It is no less the duty than the pleasure
of friendship, to fortify and sustain these claims. The impartiality
of criticism cannot but confirm the anticipations of
affection. I feel little reluctance in complying with your request.
You know not fully the cause of my sorrows. You are a
stranger to the depth of my distresses. Hence your efforts
at consolation must necessarily fail. Yet the tale that I am
going to tell is not intended as a claim upon your sympathy.
In the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to contribute
what little I can to the benefit of mankind. I acknowledge
your right to be informed of the events that have lately happened
in my family. Make what use of the tale you shall
think proper. If it be communicated to the world, it will
inculcate the duty of avoiding deceit. It will exemplify the
force of early impressions, and show the immeasurable evils
that flow from an erroneous or imperfect discipline. "What shall I say to extenuate the misconduct of last
night? It is my duty to repair it to the utmost of my power,
but the only way in which it can be repaired, you will not,
I fear, be prevailed on to adopt. It is by granting me an
interview, at your own house, at eleven o'clock this night.
I have no means of removing any fears that you may entertain
of my designs, but my simple and solemn declarations.
These, after what has passed between us, you may deem
unworthy of confidence. I cannot help it. My folly and
rashness has left me no other resource. I will be at your
door by that hour. If you choose to admit me to a conference,
14
provided that conference has no witnesses, I will
disclose to you particulars, the knowledge of which is of
the utmost importance to your happiness. Farewell. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
