date, Were hereby make application through you to the Rector
and Visitors of the University, that the house formerly
occupied by Professor J. W. Mallet be assigned to us,
jointly, when it shall be given up by Mrs. Mallet. I beg to recommend that we carry out the suggestion
made by Messrs. Coolidge and Bacon at their recent visit
to the University. I have only by a slow process
reached this conclusion. It was made to us some four
years ago by Mr. Brown, the landscape man for the Government
grounds and buildings at Washington. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

for the consideration of the Financial Budget for 1913-1914. The Committee on Entrance Building having made the foregoing
report, it was After the annual report of the Department of Engineering
had been made and forwarded to the President, it was
learned that Mr. J. S. Lapham, a graduate of this University
in Mechanical Engineering, desired an appointment on our
teaching staff. Mr. Lapham is a young man of unusual ability;
and, if his application had been received earlier, he would
undoubtedly have been engaged. It is not often that any
school has the opportunity of securing the services of a
man so eminently fitted by capacity, training, and character
to make a useful and accomplished University teacher. The
department is already committed to the young men nominated in
our report as instructors for 1913-1914, and cannot in good
faith, cancel any one of the nominations. On the other
hand, the opportunity is one which cannot be postponed; unless
Mr. Lapham comes to us, he will go into business with his
father, and such permanent changes will have to be made in
the details of that business as will prevent him from
accepting a position with us in the future. As you are already aware, I have recently sent to the
Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation a formal application
for retirement, feeling that after forty years of full
professional work and twenty-five years of active service
at this University, the time has come when it is wise for me
to take advantage of the provisions of the Foundation, I. We recommend that the sites on Carr's Hill for
fraternity houses, be at present restricted to four, and
that the northernmost site be located on a line passing
through the centre of the president's residence and the
centre of the president's stable, and at least as far
distant from the president's house as is the location of
the "Delta Tau Delta" house. Prof. Newcomb who is planning the plants for the
sewage purification, as directed by the State Board of Health,
indicates that we will have to acquire land to furnish a
sufficient fall to carry off the effluent from the filter
beds. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

date, in the office of the President, East Lawn. I have already advised you by letter of the
matter of this supplementary report, but at the suggestion
of Dean Page, I am now putting the matter in such form that
it may be laid before the Visitors at their meeting to be
held within the next few days. As you have not acted officially
in the matter, and as there is not now time to transmit
this report to you for action, the purpose of bringing it
before the Visitors at this meeting is not for action thereon,
but in the hope that they may refer it to you, or to yourself
and the Executive Committee, for suchaction as youmay
deem wise—and thus secure earlier action than would otherwise
be possible. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

medical schools in this state. The committee consists of— On September 1, 1913, I, as Chairman of
the Commons Committee, entered into a contract with Charles
Jaimes Leasing the University Commons for the period of
one year. The terms of this agreement are exactly the
same as authorized by the Rector and Board of Visitors in
the spring of 1912, except that in lieu of a surety bond
guaranteeing the safe return of the University's property,
I accepted a $50.00 a month deposit with the Bursar of the
University. It was impossible for Mr. Jaimes to secure
the bond required, and I substituted this cash deposit
because I believed that the University's interests were
amply safeguarded thereby, and on account of the limited
time, it was impossible for me to wait for authority from
the Board. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

suggesting to Mrs. Chas. H. Senff of 16 East 79th Street,
New York City, that a great opportunity existed at the
University to do a good service by building a gateway to
our new entrance, which would commemorate both her
husband and in a large sense, the Honor System at that
institution. We the undersigned residents east of the

date at three o'clock in the Administration Building. After consideration of the petition
of the University Cemetery Endowment Association, and the
estimate of the costs of the proposed addition, by the
Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, the Executive
Committee recommends the passage of the following resolutions: Some time after the return
of President Alderman, the Bursar, at the suggestion of the
President, consulted the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
as to what compensation the Dean of the University should
receive. Since July, Dr. Page had been receiving the
regular salary of a full professor, $3,300.00 and a house;
$350.00 as Dean, and $1,500 as acting President during
Dr. Alderman's absence,—a total of $5150.00 and a house.
After Dr. Alderman's return the Bursar was uncertain of his
authority to continue paying Dr. Page as acting president.
He asked advice of the President, who referred him to the
Chairman of the Executive Committee. The latter corresponded
with the other members of the committee, but it was decided
to defer action until the meeting of the Board of Visitors.
Since November the 1st, the payment of the salary of $1500.00
as acting president has been discontinued. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
