Present the same members as on Saturday the 27th instant- "I have inspected the Hotel of Mr. Jeffries at his request
and find the house in a very uncomfortable condition-The
dining room walls are filthy, so much so that the room
is unfit for decent people to eat in. Jeffries thinks that
by the judicious expenditure of one hundred dollars the house
and premises can be made comfortable. I am informed that very
little has been expended on the property of late, and I most
respectfully recommend that the Board of Visitors instruct
the Proctor to apply one hundred dollars in doing such repairs
as he may think most necessary to the premises. The Board met at 9 oclock A.M. Present the same members
as on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present the same

members as on yesterday. Resolved That the Chair of Scientific, Experimental, and
Practical Agriculture in the Agricultural Department of the
University of Virginia is hereby established- I have discharged the duties of Chairman of the
Faculty, by annual election of the Board of Visitors, for the
last sixteen years- I have on one occasion at least since the
close of the war, formally expressed to the Board my wish to
be relieved from service in this capacity and I have often
informally expressed the same wish to my friends- Whilst I
have no right to presume that it will be your pleasure to continue
me in this position, I respectfully ask that you will,
by the appointment of another, relieve me from duties which
may be better discharged by some other member of the Faculty. I beg leave to imform you that the present is
the eighth week of a painful and most serious illness, which
has not only kept me confined to the house during that time,
under the constant attention of my physicians, but which this
morning finds me so perfectly helpless, that I cannot even
walk across the room. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

June 25th 1872 Your Committee on Grounds & Buildings beg leave to report
that they have made such an inspection as seemed to them necessary
to the discharge of the duties, and regret to say that
they have found much delapidation in the buildings and great
disfigurement in the grounds. The buildings are out of repair
in various particulars, but more especially in the roofing
of the terrace, and the "Dawson Row". The grounds are checkered
with paths that are unsightly & entirely unnecessary. Your
Committee are aware that the repairs desirable would require
an expenditure beyond the revenue of the Institution at present
but they recommend that provision be made for putting in order
the roofs referred to, as the damage already serious is becoming
worse every day and further delay in the matter will
involve heavier cost. They are also apprised of the difficulty
of preventing the short cuts across the ground but they nevertheless
are of the opinion that the evil can be corrected by
active attention and they therefore recommend that the Proctor
be required to put in operation every expedient practicable
to this end. The Committee on the Library respectfully report that
upon inspection they found the Library in good condition
there are many suggestions that might be made with a view
to its improvements- such as the procurement of glass doors
for many of the cases for the protection of the books, and others,
but the financial embarrassment of the University is such as
to render the requisite appropriations therefore inexpedient
at this time. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournement last night. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
