Board of Visitors | Add | | | Title: | Board of Visitors minutes | | | | Published: | 1878 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-BoardOfVisitorsMinutes | | | | Description: | Board met pursuant to the Call of the Rector of the
University and was called to order by the Rector. I propose to make the University of Virginia a similar
donation with same conditions as that made on the 8th December
1876, for the purpose of endowing a professorship of Natural
History, as a token of my warm personal regard, and as an expression
of the gratitude which I, in common with the Citizens
of the Old Commonwealth, feel for the profound scholarship it
has given to the Country- a scholarship which has impressed
itself on the Universities of the Old World, and enlisted the
sympathy of the honored Queen of England. I had the pleasure of receiving by the mail
of yesterday, your letter, dated 13th inst: in which you communicate
to me officially, your purpose to make, to the University
of Virginia, a farther donation of $50,000 in Virginia
Consol bonds, for the purpose of endowing a Professorship of
Natural History, in the Institution. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
