in annual session this 12th day of June 1893. Knowing as you do, my physical condition you
will not be surprised at the contents of this letter. My
work during the session of the University, has hitherto embraced
a daily lecture of an hour and a half besides multiform
incidental engagements. My son's assistance has been
very valuable to me, and to the students, but without much
lightening my labors. Now however, the state of my health
will oblige me to devolve on him a more important part of
the instruction in the school of Common and Statute Law,
than thus far has falled to his share, and I desire to submit
to the Board of Visitors, through you, the propriety of
enlarging his compensation to the sum I believe originally
proposed for my assistant, namely $1500. Your Architects beg, 1st To acknowledge their error in
the assumption that aught but your appreciation of their position
could lead to their relief. Having learned that you desire to know whether in
my opinion, Mr Jas H. Gilmore, Jr. has manifested such an acquaintance
with the law as to warrant me in signing his diploma
should the Board signify a willingness to admit him to the degree,
I would answer unhesitatingly yes. Mr Gilmore's daily
recitations were more than usually satisfactory, as were also
his intermediate examinations, averaging above 5/6 the And his
answers to the questions propounded for the degree (which were
given privately, but under due safeguard), amounted also, to
more than 5/6 ths. Gentlemen, The Committee on Finance respectfully reports
that the Proctor's annual Report and the settlement made by
the Commissioner of of Accounts show a balance in the hands of
the Proctor for the fiscal year ending June 15th 1893 of $5125.66.
This sum does not include $1275.00 which is a part of the appropriation
made to the Library last year and which was not expended.
This latter sum stands on the Proctor's books to the credit
of the Library fund. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

June last. Owing to the present condition of the health of your
son, Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., we, the Committee appointed by the
Board of Visitors to consider and report upon all matters pertaining
to the School of Law in the University, hesitate to
recommend him for re-election as your assistant for the ensuing
session. We are informed, however, that your son, Mr. Raleigh
C. Minor, is in vigorous health, and that he is now assisting
you in your summer school. We desire to recommend him to the
Board as your assistant for the ensuing session at a salary of
Fifteen Hundred Dollars. We trust you will appreciate our position
in this matter and that you will know that we place a
high value upon the work done by Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., in
your classes so long as his health continued good. We greatly
regret to learn of his pain for some months past, and we
trust that he may speedily be restored to perfect health.
We desire to ask through you whether Mr. Raleigh C. Minor
will accept the position of assistant in your school, and
as we are considering the propriety of establishing a new
chair in the School of Law, we will deem it a favor if you
will kindly suggest the subjects to be assigned to the new
chair if established. We hand you, herewith, an outline of
a scheme of reorganization of the School of Law that we are
considering, and we would be glad to have you give your views
of the same. With sentiments of high esteem, we are We have maturely considered your views in relation
to the School of Law in the University, and have given them the
weight that we feel your opinions on such a subject are entitled
to. We have also consulted medical experts as to the
prospects of the ability of Mr. John B. Minor, Jr., to give
you such assistance during the ensuing session as we deem it
necessary for you to have, and we are strongly advised that
there is but little probability of his being able to do so. Yours of this date is received, and whilst I desire
to make my cordial acknowledgments for the kindly spirit manifested
towards myself, as well as towards my son John, I am
obliged to confess that it occasioned me not a little concern
in respect to what I conceive to be the interests of the University,
as affected by the creation of another professorship.
A multiplication of teachers is frequently, if not generally,
a curtailment of instruction. I trust it will not be so here. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the Washington Association of the Alumni. Upon Profr
Schele De Vere's resignation and severance of his connection
with the University of Virginia, the Board of Visitors had no
further power to adopt any measure for his financial relief,
nor can they, without betraying their trust, expend the institutions
money, except for such purposes as are prescribed by
law. The resolution will be laid before the Board at its
meeting in June. And the Visitors approve in every respect the reply of of the
Rector and in doing so they put upon record that no further
evidence has been adduced or offered in refutation of the
charges made against Profr Schele De Vere and the Visitors
are therefore left no course other than to reaffirm their
action in accepting the resignation of said Profr Schele De
Vere. Your Committee to whom was referred the matter
of sewage beg leave to report that after a conference with the
Committee of the town Council of Charlottesville they are of
opinion that a special Committee should be appointed from this

University of Virginia held on the 14th day of June 1897. The Board of Visitors met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday.
Present: The papers accompanying the foregoing report as a part
of it read as follows: I have the honor to submit to you a report of the financial
transactions of the University, for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1897. As preface, permit me to say, that my
lamented predecessor and myself were close friends and comrades
in arms during the war. Both on the field and in Camp
Green Peyton was always, and everywhere a brave and efficient
soldier. Wherever placed in life, he proved himself a man of
intellect, attainments, energy and force of character. His
ill health for many months before his death, together with the
increased work incident to the receipt and disbursement of a
large restoration fund, caused his accounts to be left in an
unfinished condition. Thoroughly conversant with the peculiar
character of the University accounts, by a service as Proctor
for twenty seven years, he found no need to record many facts
which were safely stored in his own mind, but not immediately
accessible to a new incumbent. So, too with a memory singularly
tenacious, he left no correspondence for he felt the
need of none His cash-book and ledger were his letter-press
and letter-file. Resolved: That in view of the unusually onerous duties
imposed upon the Secretary of the Board since the destruction
of the University Buildings by fire in the fall of 1895, the
said Secretary be paid the sum of $150. in addition to his
regular salary. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment
on yesterday. The Special Committee on investigation of the Proctor's
office, University of Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
