on this date, at 8 o'clock p.m., with the following present:
The Rector C. Harding Walker, Visitors Dillard, Duke, McVea,
Oliver and Scott, and President Alderman. The Committee on Saturday, October
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 |
