RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WHITEHEAD SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE I have thought for sometime that I wanted to do something for my Alma Mater - the University of Virginia - to which I owe so much; but when the drive was on for the University I had been in the Army for more than two years with my personal and family expenses more than three times what my income was and I was not certain about the future.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held 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.

 Description: The Annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 9:30 a.m. with the Rector, C. Harding Walker, 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 and courtesies, have appointed the undersigned committee to express their sincere hope that she will speedily recover her health.

 Description: The regular annual meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 10 a.m., with the following members present: Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott, Williams, Walker and President Alderman. It is my sad duty to announce to the faculty and students of the University the death of Professor Charles Hancockk in the fifty-seventh year of his age. The Committee appointed to select and recommend sites for fraternity houses met today and after viewing the locations, make the following recommendation: At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial held on May 24, 1926, the following resolution was passed on behalf of the University of Virginia: I have this day received your communication of June 3rd containing the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, wherein a sum not to exceed $137,500 was appropriated to the University of Virginia toward its program of research in the Social Sciences. I shall present this resolution to the Rector and Visitors of the University at their meeting on June 14th, and shall at that time convey their expression, as the Governing Body of the University, of their deep appreciation of this action. In the meantime, I can perhaps personally assure you of my own profound sense of obligation to you for the patient thought you have given to the matter, and I assure you that I shall want to carry out the work which this money is intended to promote, with the very highest desire to have the exact thing that the Board intends to get done in our American life. At a meeting of the committee representing the Richmond Alumni of the University, it was unanimously voted to offer to the University the support of a Research Professor in the School of History. We expect to raise $4,000 a year for five years for the support of this Chair. We decided to specify history because we feel that it will make a stronger appeal to the Alumni. We will be in a position later in the summer to arrange the details necessary to establishing this Chair with the authorities of the University.

A. Almirall, hereto attached. The proposals include one boiler for the University and a building for the whole former plant to inclose another boiler and electrical equipment for lighting the University, therefor the University is to pay $35,000 and the Medical Building Fund is to pay $50,000. The Medical Building Fund will loan $35,000 to the University to be repaid later.

 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8 p.m., lasting until 11:30 p.m., when adjournment was had to the morning of April 23rd at 9 o'clock. After due deliveration and careful study, supplemented by a personal interview with several agricultural experts at V. P. I., the committee on "Blandy Experimental Farm" is of the opinion that the tentative educational program submitted below is practical, and furthermore, that it will (1) comply with the will of the donor, (2) be a service to the people of the State, and (3) will not conflict with the work which is now being done at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. In light of these facts then, the following recommendations are made: I beg to advise that, pursuant to instructions given me at the March 1st meeting of the Board, I called on Bentley W. Warren and Irvin McD. Garfield, trustees of the Estate of Arthur W. Austin, on April 11th and received from them the corpus of the estate consisting of the following:

 Description: A called meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date at 8:00 P. M., being continued on the morning of the 26th at 10 o'clock, with the following members present: Visitors A. C. Carson, Hart, Hull, McIntire, Rinehart, Scott and Williams, and the Rector C. Harding Walker, and President Alderman. All members present at the morning session except Mr. Hull. For a number of years it has been the policy of the University to pay the salaries of its administrative officers and members of the teaching staff, above the grade of instructor, on a yearly basis in monthly installments on the first of each month. This practice arose from the payment of salaries to its professors in large part from the fees from their respective students, being made in quarterly payments. Later this was changed to five payments per session and, finally, to monthly payments in advance when students' fees were no longer allocated to professors' stipends. This policy of payments in advance was also justified by reason of the fact that the State's appropriation to the University was received in monthly allotments on the first of each month for the current month.

 Description: "I am quite delighted with this place, now that I have got over that bad habit of blushing and trembling, which Mrs. Asheputtle assures me is highly indecent and unbecoming. She says it is a sign of a bad conscience and wicked thoughts, when the blood rushes into the face. I wish you knew Mrs. Asheputtle. She has been all over Europe, and seen several kings of the old dynasties, who, she says, were much more difficult to come at than the new ones, who are so much afraid of the canaille, that they are civil to everybody. Only think, how vulgar. Mrs. Asheputtle says, that she knew several men with titles; and that she is sure, if she had not been unfortunately married before, she might have been the wife of the Marquis of Tête de Veau. The marquis was terribly disappointed when he found she had a husband already; but they made amends by forming a Platonic attachment, which means —I don't know really what it means—for Mrs. Asheputtle, it seemed to me, could not tell herself. All I know is, that it must be a delightful thing, and I long to try it, when I am married—for Mrs. Asheputtle says it won't do for a single lady. What can it be, I wonder? "One of the great disadvantages of foreign travel is, that it unfits one for the enjoyment of any thing in one's own country, particularly when that country is so every way inferior to the old world. It is truly a great misfortune for a man to have too much taste and refinement. I feel this truth every day of my life; and could almost find in my heart to regret the acquirement of habits and accomplishments that almost disqualify me for a citizen of this vulgar republic, which, I am sorry to perceive, seems in a fair way of debauching the whole world with her pernicious example of liberty and equality. If it were not for Delmonico and Palmo, the musical soirées, and a few other matters, I should be the most miserable man in the world. Would you believe it, my dear count, there is not a silver fork to be seen in all the hotels between New-York and Saratoga? And yet the people pretend to be civilized!

 Description: Nothing would start against the Old Mare; and after more formal preparation in making weight and posting judges than is customary when there is a contest, "the sateful old kritter" went off crippling as if she was not fit to run for sour cider, and any thing could take the shine out of her that had the audacity to try it. The muster at the stand was slim, it having been understood up town, that as to sport to-day the races would prove a water-haul. I missed all that class of old and young gentlemen who annoy owners, trainers, and riders, particularly if they observe they are much engaged, with questions that should not be asked, and either can't or should not be answered. The business folks and men of gumption were generally on the grit, and much of the chaff certainly had been blown off.
