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 |
