session on the 27th day of June 1887. The Library Committee respectfully report that they have
examined the report of James B. Baker, Librarian; The list of
Publications by members of the Faculty from July 1886 to June
1887; and the communication of Moncure D. Conway, Esq, asking
permission to copy and use "any manuscripts or papers at the
University of Va by or relating to the late Hon. Edmund Randolph"
and they recommend that the two resolutions accompanying
this report be adopted. (The 2 resolutions here referred
to are the last two on the next preceding page of this book) Your Committee on Grounds, Buildings & Boarding Houses
respectfully report. The Board met this morning pursuant to adjournment on
yesterday. Having understood that your Hon. body is still unsatisfied
as to the reconsideration of the resolution adopted with
respect to the School of English, which reconsideration I requested
in my statement already submitted, I have the honor
to request that the matter be laid over until the next annual
meeting of the Board, Within that time your Hon. body can
examine more carefully into the objections made as to the
conduct of the School, & I can have the opportunity of removing
any that in your judgment, may really exist. In the
mean time, I should be obliged for any suggestions as to
change in the course of instruction, which I shall endeavor
to carry out. I have in my statement indicated certain
changes in the position of this school with respect to the
degrees which would greatly benefit the school, if adopted
by your Hon. body. I feel confident, that under such circumstances
all objections would be satisfactorily removed. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

June last. "You will have seen from my letter addressed to you and
the Board on July 2d how gratefully I appreciate the considerate
courtesy with which you have been pleased to treat me
at your last meeting. A trifling accident, however, has
since led me to ask an additional favor at your hands, which
I am sure your keen sense of justice will not deny me. It is
this: In the first copy of the resolutions concerning me,
the Secretary had said. `Your testimonials have removed'.
Subsequently a change was made, so as to make the line read:
`have largely removed,' implying that the impression of inefficiency
on your minds was to a certain degree, still resting
there. This is very grievous to me. I had surely thought
that the testimonials I had laid before you would entirely
remove any such impression. As this has unfortunately not
been done, I think you will not blame me if I most respectfully
request to be informed of the charges brought against
me, and of the persons by whom they are brought forward.
`Audiatur et altera pars' is a rule which seems to apply to
this case also. I have so far abstained from asking any questions,
although this reduced me to act in the dark, and defend
myself against unknown adversaries. But now, I am naturally,
and I hope excusably, anxious to remove those painful impressions
entirely, and to prove myself not unworthy in any way
or degree of the generosity of the Board. I have the honor

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 |
