 Description: At a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, at 2:00 P. M. on above date, in the President's Office, In pursuance of our conversation, I have the honor to request that I be granted a leave of absence from the University of Virginia for the remainder of the current session, so that I may spend this period in Europe. I would not make this request if I believed that my absence would be detrimental to the University of Virginia. I have been fortunate in procuring the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope, of the University of South Carolina, to fill my chair during my absence. Dr. Wauchope is a Virginian, a graduate of Washington and Lee University, and a Doctor of Philosophy of Johns Hopkins University, and aprofessor of most successful experience. He is a man of culture and refinement, an excellent writer, and I am sure will prove an inspiration to the classes I leave in his charge. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 13th, inst., requesting a leave of absence from the University for the remainder of the present session, and stating that you have secured the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope to serve in your stead. I am enclosing a correspondence between Dr. Kent and myself which explains itself. I am sending the correspondence to you with the request that you signify your approval or disapproval of the request contained in Dr. Kent's letter and approved by me, in order that I may inform Dr. Kent and officially inform Dr. Wauchope. There is no question of money involved in the transaction,- - that is to say, Dr. Kent's salary will go on, and he will compensate Dr. Wauchope for his services out of his (Dr. Kent's) salary, the University budget arrangement remaining undisturbed. The essential point, of course, is the essential fitness of Dr. Wauchope. He is, from all accounts, a very valuable and interesting man. His services will be from February until June, and I do not believe any harm will come to the character of our teaching, and some good from the interchange. I believe much good will come to the Department from Dr. Kent's residence in Europe for this period. It is a sort of Sabbatical year arrangement, without cost to the Institution, that I heartily approve of. Upon application of Dr. Charles W. Kent, I have recommended to the Rector and Visitors of the University that he be given a vacation for the remainder of the session. As you are aware, it is his purpose to spend this vacation abroad. Dr. Kent, in making the application to me, recommended most enthusiastically your name as a suitable incumbent for the Chair for the remainder of the session of 1910. I have to report that about 12:30 o'clock on the morning of the 8th of February, fire was discovered in the basement of the Chapel.
