Visitors Hall, Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott and
Williams, and President Alderman Present. I am today sending to Governor
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

recover her health. At the forty-ninth meeting of the

on this date at 9 a.m., with the following members present:
the Rector, C. Harding Walker, and Visitors, Hall, Hart,
Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Williams and Hatcher. The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent
and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
