5th 1861. Present Thomas J. Randolph Rector. Franklin Minor,
John R. Edmundes, James Neeson, P. H. Aylett and Wm. H. Terrell
visitors, when the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the enactments of the University,
I request permission to resign the Chair which I now have the
honour to hold in that institution. I desire this resignation
to take effect at the end of the session, or at the option of
the Board, any earlier period, at which the vacancy can be
permanently filled. I prefer the request under an earnest conviction
that it is my duty to yeld to the wishes of a great
number of my fellow citizens who have called upon me to become
a candidate for the approaching State convention. I
trust that it is unnecessary for me to assure the Board, of the
reluctance with which I have taken this step, My duties at
the University afford ample scope for the gratification of
all my tastes and my whole ambition; and the steadily increasing
number of my students furnish the most satisfactory
evidence that not withstanding much misapprehension as to the
character of my instruction, it commands the confidence and
approbation of the community at large. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
