University of Virginia held at their office at the University
of Virginia on the 28th day of June 1875. University of Va. The Committee on Finance offer the following report. The undersigned as Committee on the Library respectfully
reports that he has made a careful inspection of the Library-assisted
by Mr. Wertenbaker, and he found its condition all
that could be desired under the circumstances. The Management
and arrangement of this department reflects the highest credit
on the venerable and efficient Librarian. Your Committee respectfully report that in the performance
of their duties they have made such an inspection of the grounds
& public buildings as their opportunities have made practicable
and they are gratified to be able to state that both are in as
good condition as could be expected or required under the circumstances.
The Grounds exhibit evidence of careful attention
and the Buildings show that every effort within the means of
the Proctor has been made to preserve them, and to prevent as
far as possible the decay inevitable from the want of the necessary
repairs. In this connection Your Committee will inform
the Board that they have called upon the Proctor to furnish
them an estimate of the amount necessary to put the Buildings
& Grounds in perfect order with a view to such action by the
Board as will secure this sum, and they respectfully suggest
that the General Assembly should be called for an appropriation
for this purpose. Your Committee are aware of the consequences
involved in any appearance of the University before the Legislature
as an applicant for assistance, but they can but think
that this body would recognize the necessity for preserving
from loss the investment which the state has made here, and
would accordingly provide the requisite funds. Your Committee
therefore recommends that the executive Committee should be
authorized to apply to the Legislature for an appropriation
for this purpose, should they upon inquiry deem it judicious
to do so. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present
the same members as on yesterday with the exception of Mr.
Carrington, absent. Your Committee on Apparatus respectfully report, that the
inventories required by law from Professors Mallet and Smith
have been returned and no appropriations asked for. Allow me through your body to present to the
University the polygraph used by Mr. Jefferson for the last
twenty years of his life. In reserving for publication many
thousand of these letters, they were found accurate facsimiles
of his hand writing: no error except where the record pen was
caught by some irregularity in the paper. When extricating itself
with a spring it missed a few letters leaving space for
them. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
