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. At the forty-ninth meeting of the
State Board of Health Committee for Blue Ridge Sanatorium,
held at Blue Ridge Sanatorium, Charlottesville,
Virginia, February 4, 1925; the following resolution
was adopted: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 8 p.m., with Messrs. Walker, Hull, Williams,
Mrs. Munford and President Alderman present. Your committee on the New Medical Buildings
recommends to the President that the Rector and
Visitors of the University of Virginia authorize
their Buildings Committee to enter into an agreement
to carry forward the construction of the Central
Heating Plant for the New Medical Building in accordance
with the proposals submitted by Mr. J. 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. At the meeting which the writer had with you
yesterday morning, relative to the installation of
new boiler at Central Power Plant, he left with you
the two letters dated February 9th and February 11th
which had previously been written concerning this
subject. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

on this date at 10 o'clock A. M., lasting until 6 P. M.,
with intermission for lunch, followed by a session on
the morning of the 14th which convened at 10 o'clock. I beg to report that the John Alexander
Muir bequest has been received and delivered to
the State-Planters Bank & Trust Company, of
Richmond, Va., in accordance with resolution adopted
at the meeting of the Board April 22, and that
formal contract for the care of same, similar to
those now in existence with the Virginia Trust
Company and the Peoples National Bank, has been
executed. The estate was forwarded by the First
National Bank of Alexandria, Va., Trustees, to their
respresentative in Richmond, being delivered to
the depository upon official receipt for same. The schedule of proposed salary increases for
certain members of the teaching staff and other employees
of the University of Virginia for the session
1927-28, as approved by the Rector and Visitors of
the University on April 22nd, 1927, has been received. You have submitted to me a copy of your letter
to the Rector and Visitors, under date of April 22nd,
in which you report having received certain securities
and monies to be held by the University under will
of Arthur W. Austin, deceased. The undersigned Committee, appointed at the meeting
of the Board on April 22nd to investigate the charges
preferred by the Rev. George Floyd Rogers against Prof.
William E. Knight, begs leave to report as follows: | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

The one is, lest I should hurt you; and the other is,
lest you should hurt me. I do not see any good it
would do me to put a bullet through any part of your
body. I could make no use of you when dead, for
any culinary purpose, as I would a rabbit or a turkey.
I am no cannibal to feed on the flesh of men.
Why then shoot down a human creature, of which
I could make no use. A buffaloe would be better
meat. For though your flesh might be delicate and
tender; yet it wants that firmness and consistency
which takes and retains salt. At any rate it would
not be fit for long sea voyages. You might make a
good barbecue, it is true, being of the nature of a
racoon or an opossum; but people are not in the habit
of barbecuing any thing human now. As to your
hide, it is not worth the taking off, being little better
than that of a year old colt. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

genius and profound knowledge, combined with exalted
moral purity, cannot fail to excite unmingled admiration.
The reputation of an author in whom these qualities are
united, may be circumscribed during life; but its rise and
extension after death, prove that his claim to distinction
are well founded. It is no less the duty than the pleasure
of friendship, to fortify and sustain these claims. The impartiality
of criticism cannot but confirm the anticipations of
affection. I feel little reluctance in complying with your request.
You know not fully the cause of my sorrows. You are a
stranger to the depth of my distresses. Hence your efforts
at consolation must necessarily fail. Yet the tale that I am
going to tell is not intended as a claim upon your sympathy.
In the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to contribute
what little I can to the benefit of mankind. I acknowledge
your right to be informed of the events that have lately happened
in my family. Make what use of the tale you shall
think proper. If it be communicated to the world, it will
inculcate the duty of avoiding deceit. It will exemplify the
force of early impressions, and show the immeasurable evils
that flow from an erroneous or imperfect discipline. "What shall I say to extenuate the misconduct of last
night? It is my duty to repair it to the utmost of my power,
but the only way in which it can be repaired, you will not,
I fear, be prevailed on to adopt. It is by granting me an
interview, at your own house, at eleven o'clock this night.
I have no means of removing any fears that you may entertain
of my designs, but my simple and solemn declarations.
These, after what has passed between us, you may deem
unworthy of confidence. I cannot help it. My folly and
rashness has left me no other resource. I will be at your
door by that hour. If you choose to admit me to a conference,

provided that conference has no witnesses, I will
disclose to you particulars, the knowledge of which is of
the utmost importance to your happiness. Farewell. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

motives contributed to detain me, though departure was
easy and commodious, and my friends were generally solicitous
for me to go. It is not my purpose to enumerate
these motives, or to dwell on my present concerns and
transactions, but merely to compose a narrative of some
incidents with which my situation made me acquainted. Here ended the narrative of Mervyn. Surely its incidents
were of no common kind. During this season of
pestilence, my opportunities of observation had been numerous,
and I had not suffered them to pass unimproved.
The occurrences which fell within my own experience, bore
a general resemblance to those which had just been related,
but they did not hinder the latter from striking on my mind
with all the force of novelty. They served no end, but as
vouchers for the truth of the tale. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

my affections upon one object; to dote upon a human being,
who, as such, must be the heir of many frailties, and whom
I know to be not without his faults; to enjoy no peace but
in his presence, to be grateful for his permission to sacrifice
fortune, ease, life itself for his sake. "If you ever injured Mr. Talbot, your motives for doing
so, entitle you to nothing but compassion, while your present
conduct lays claim, not only to forgiveness, but to gratitude.

1771-1810 | Add | | | Title: | The novels of Charles Brockden Brown | | | | Published: | 2006 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | Stephen Dudley was a native of New York. He was
educated to the profession of a painter. His father's trade
was that of an apothecary. But this son, manifesting an attachment
to the pencil, he was resolved that it should be
gratified. For this end Stephen was sent at an early age
to Europe, and not only enjoyed the instructions of Fuzeli
and Bartolozzi, but spent a considerable period in Italy, in
studying the Augustan and Medicean monuments. It was
intended that he should practice his art in his native city, but
the young man, though reconciled to this scheme by deference
to paternal authority, and by a sense of its propriety,
was willing, as long as possible to postpone it. The liberality
of his father relieved him from all pecuniary cares. His
whole time was devoted to the improvement of his skill in his
favorite art, and the enriching of his mind with every valuable
accomplishment. He was endowed with a comprehensive
genius and indefatigable industry. His progress was
proportionably rapid, and he passed his time without much
regard to futurity, being too well satisfied with the present to
anticipate a change. A change however was unavoidable,
and he was obliged at length to pay a reluctant obedience to
his father's repeated summons. The death of his wife had
rendered his society still more necessary to the old gentleman. An hour ago I was in Second street, and
saw you. I followed you till you entered the Indian Queen
Tavern. Knowing where you are, I am now preparing to
demand an interview. I may be disappointed in this hope,
and therefore write you this. Why do I write? For whose use do I pass my time thus?
There is no one living who cares a jot for me. There was a
time, when a throbbing heart, a trembling hand, and eager
eyes, were always prepared to read, and ruminate on the
scantiest and poorest scribble that dropped from my pen;
but she has disappeared; the veil between us is like death. I need not tell you, my friend, what I have felt, in consequence
of your silence. The short note which I received, a
fortnight after you had left me, roused my curiosity and my
fears, instead of allaying them. You promised me a longer
account of some mysterious changes that had taken place in
your condition. This I was to receive in a few days. At
the end of a week I was impatient. The promised letter did
not arrive. Four weeks passed away, and nothing came
from you. Yes; the narrative of Morton is true. The simple recital
which you give, leaves me no doubt. The money is
his, and shall be restored the moment he demands it. For
what I have spent, I must a little while be his debtor. This
he must consent to lose, for I never can repay it. Indeed,
it is not much. Since my change of fortune, I have not
been extravagant. A hundred dollars is the most I have
laid out, and some of this has been in furniture, which I
shall resign to him. "I shall not call on you at Hatfield. I am weary of traversing
hills and dales; and my detention in Virginia being
longer than I expected, shall go on board a vessel in this
port, bound for New York. Contract, in my name, with
your old friend, for the present accommodation of the girls,
and repair to New York as soon as possible. Search out
No.—, Broadway. If I am not there to embrace you,
inquire for my wife or daughter, and mention your name.
Make haste; the women long to see a youth in whose education
I had so large a share; and be sure, by your deportment,
not to discredit your instructer, and belie my good
report. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
