 Description: The Board met in pursuance of adjournment on the 13th of 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.

But I do not favor any." A report of the character indicated by the above heading having been called for by the Rector, the following views and suggestions of the Professors in the Department of Medicine is submitted to the Faculty to be forwarded to the Board. 1st It is desirable that, before the Chair of Anatomy be permanently filled, some redistribution of subjects be made in certain of the schools, in order to secure a more rational connection between the subjects taught in each of these. It would be well that

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia commenced this 10th day of June 1895. Dear Sir, I received on yesterday a copy of the resolution 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 Board with Profr Echols from the Faculty to further consider the matter and report to the July meeting of the Board.

 Description: At the regular meeting of the Board of Visitors of the 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.

 Description: Wishing to comply with the resolution adopted at the meeting of the Board on the 15th of June last (p. 169 [156] of the record), providing for a meeting during the month of November 1897, to further consider the question of a president for the University, I caused the secretary to sound the members as to whether the 26th of Nov. would suit them to attend. On hearing from them in reply, I became satisfied that the 10th of December was the earliest day on which a quorum of the Board could be gotten together, and I requested the Secretary to summon the Visitors to a meeting on that day, which was done. University of Virginia, Decr 10th After a careful inspection of the grounds and buildings, after an absence of two months, we were strongly impressed with the desirability of filing with the Building Committee a report and plan covering all further matters which we considered as necessary to the completed scheme of the University Buildings and the treatment of the surrounding grounds in order that all work from time to time ordered might be carried out on these consistent lines. Will you kindly give me the following information: Answering your favor of the 15th inst. I beg to submit the following

 Description: At a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia called by the Rector and held in pursuance of notice, on the 17th day of February 1898, University of Virginia, March 17th 1898. As chairman of the University I take pleasure in reporting that so far this session the health and general conduct of the students have been extremely good, and I take still greater pleasure in reporting that they have met their financial obligations in a way that leads me to hope that the deficiency caused by the action of the Legislature can be largely made up in this office. To the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, Gentlemen: In view of the contemplated dedication of the new buildings in June next it is absolutely imperative that the Board should decide now what sum of money it can appropriate for this celebration. This sum should be appropriated and made available at once, as the Joint Committee on celebrations can do nothing until they know exactly what sum is at hand. The celebration is but a part of the necessary advertising of the University and in view of all the circumstances should be as liberally provided for as possible. I have just received a letter from my brother, stating that you have a meeting of the Committee and Board of Visitors on March 17th. The final certificate has been sent, and you also have our bill in full. In reply to your request for figures for the connecting arcades on the University of Virginia, will say that we will construct the two arcades connecting the Academical with the Mechanical and with the Physical buildings, for the sum of $1250.00 each.

 Description: At a regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held at the University on the 13th of June 1898. You may recall that last summer a part of the piece of real estate owned by the trustees under Mr Austin's will was taken by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for park purposes. This left a small piece of the estate, containing about 5000 square feet, with restrictions against building on a part of it, thus rendering the lot really unavailable. We have now received an offer of $800.00 for this piece of land, which we consider it would be advantageous for the estate to accept. We have therefore prepared a petition to the probate court for leave to sell the remainder of the estate. If this meets with your approval will you kindly sign the assent to the enclosed petition, and as the purchaser is in something of a hurry, I would ask you to return the petition at your earliest convenience. The Board of Visitors met in pursuance of adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present the same members as on yesterday, with the exception of Mr Glass who was called home. I enclose to you herewith cheque for $20,000.00 being a gift from the J. W. and Belinda Randall Charities Corporation, which was voted to you by the trustees on June 10th, 1898. With this gift goes a copy of the vote under which you must receive this gift or return it to me as trea- surer. Referring to interview with you this A.

In compliance with your request to make enquiries touching the nature and value of the Securities in which the estate of Arthur W. Austin, of Milton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, is now invested, I have the honor to report that I corresponded with Mr Bentley W. Warren, one of the Trustees of that estate, and received from him a letter under date of Sep. 24 which I herewith file, enclosing a statement of the Securities and their value as of Sep. 18th which I also file. I sent a list of these securities to Messrs W. H. Goadby & Co. Bankers, of New York, and asked them to ascertain their values, and received from them a letter under date of October 10th giving me the market values of all, save the stocks of three National Banks, the Boston and Maine RailRoad preferred stock, the East Middlesex Railway stock, and the Ogden & Lake Champlain R. R. bonds. The report of Messrs Goadby & Co confirmed the estimate of Mr Warren, adding somewhat to the value of some of the securities. I file herewith a statement showing the value of the securities under Mr Warren's estimate, showing a gross market value of $262,945. In this is not included the $80,000. invested in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance Co. About this wrote Mr Warren, asking his opinion of its value, but have no reply. I should say from the statement furnished in Mr Warren's letter that the real estate is worth about $50,000., and assuming that the $80,000. in the Insurance Co. is worth its face, the total present value of the Estate is $392,945. I am very sorry that the receipt of your letter just after I had begun my vacation has prevented an earlier reply to your inquiries relative to the investments in the Arthur W. Austin Estate. Replying to your favor of the 30th ult., I would say that in my opinion the $80,000.00 investment in the Massachusetts Hospital Life Ins. Co. is undoubtedly good, and that the University will receive the same when the same becomes payable by its terms. We give below quotations on the securities which we were unable to furnish in our last letter, viz=
