Board of Visitors | Add | | | Title: | Board of Visitors minutes (1845) October 30, 1845 | | | | Published: | 1845 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia::Board of Visitors | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | On Thursday October 30th 1845, in obedience to a special
call by the Rector a meeting of the Visitors was held at the
University of Virginia at which were present the following
Visitors to wit: Joseph C. Cabell, Rector, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph, Andrew Stevenson, and R. M.T. Hunter. The
session continued thro Friday the 31st October & part of Saturday
the first of November- After a thorough investigation
of the matters which occasioned their convocation the following
proceedings were had by the Board. The very high trust confided to the Visitors of the University
by the people of the state, & the very great importance
of reestablishing public confidence in the institution, induce
me, under existing circumstances to request the members
of the Board to give their attendance at the University on
Thursday the 30th Inst: My object is to invite an immediate
& more careful investigation by the Board itself of the administration
of the office of Proctor for some time past, which
I think due not only to the best interests of the Institution
but to the officer concerned. I am led to this conclusion
by communications which I have received from the gentleman
employed to settle the proctor's accounts, & from others since
the last meeting of the Visitors which will be communicated
to the Visitors when they assemble. I trust that the meeting
will be full and that it will eventuate in a manner satisfactory
to the Board & to the officer concerned. Permit me
to remark that as such may be the result it is advisable not
to give publicity to the cause of the meeting until it shall
have taken place. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

called for Wednesday the 17th October 1849 did not assemble
till Thursday the 18th when Joseph C. Cabell, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph and Andrew Stevenson appeared and a Board
was organized: In obedience to a resolution of the Board of Visitors
of the University of Va. I have examined the Books of Alex:
Garrett, Bursar, from the 31st May 1848 to the 1st June 1849,
and find all his charges supported by vouchers, except 25
cents paid for a blank book. I find two small errors in his
addition amounting to 5 cents. The discrepancy between his
books and those of the Proctor on the 1st June 1849, occurred
by his not having paid and charged a warrant drawn by the
Proctor on the 14th May in fav. of P.S. Duval for $111. This
warrant he charges on the 2d June, after his Books were balanced.
When this entry is brought into his account, his books will
shew a balance on hand less than the balance shewn by the
Proctor's books of $6.78 after the Proctor gives him credit
by the 25 cents paid for the blank book. The discrepancy of
$6.78, I am told happened some years past and it still exists
as shewn by the statement on this sheet. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

No quorum appearing the Board adjourned until Monday morning. The question being put on the resolutions recommended by
the Committee of Finance, they were severally agreed to- On motion of Mr Mason, And upon consultation with the Visiters of the Board they
deemed it proper to request the attendance of Col Kemper for
any explanation that he might be disposed to make upon the subject-
Col Kemper accordingly appeared before the Board & gave
an explanation of the subject contained in the circular &
advertizement & then withdrew Circular Letter
of Col Wm S. Kemper in relation to a school in Gordonsville- It has been a cherished object with me for several years
to establish a first class Boarding school for boys upon the
completion of the education of my sons at the University with
a view of placing them in a situation by which they would be
enabled to earn a comfortable & honourable livelihood | | | Similar Items: | Find |
