University of Virginia on above date in the Presidents'
Office. The following statement was presented by the President,
and ordered to be placed on record as follows: I beg to submit to you the following reports from
the Faculty of the Department of Graduate Studies of the
University of Virginia and the Faculty of the College of the
University of Virginia, the two comprising the Academic
Department of the Institution. I submit these reports
with my entire approval and endorsement. They are the
result of patient study of specially appointed committees
of these faculties extending over a period of two years.
They have been carefully considered and discussed by the
Faculties themselves in utmost detail. In some cases they
have been held up for months with a view of obtaining the
best information on all subjects connected with the curriculum
and the methods of teaching in modern colleges. They
have passed the Facilties of the Department of Graduate
Studies and of the College with practical unanimity. The
report of the Faculty of the Graduate Department is unanimous,
and the report from the Faculty of the College
comes to you with only one dissenting vote. The fundamental
purpose in these proposed modifications is to increase the
power, to elevate the standards, and to place on a surer
pedagogic basis all instruction given at the University of
Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
