Visitors met today at 2 oclock P.M. present T.J. Randolph,
Rector, J. R. Edmunds, J. B. Baldwin, M.R.H. Garnett, Wm.
J. Robertson and James Neeson, Wm. J. Joynes, Visitors when
the following proceedings were had. I feel it to be due to myself, and to you, my
associates in the Board of Visitors, to lay before you, at
this my earliest opportunity, the accompanying correspondence
which has recently taken place between Professor Harrison
and myself. I present copies only, holding the originals,
so far as in my possession, subject to the call of the Board.
It will be seen that the subject of this correspondence is
a letter written by Professor Harrison to Alexander Rives Esqr.
Senator from Albemarle County, in the Virginia Legislature. Having understood that a letter written
by me to Alex Rives Esqr and designed to be private, had
given offence to some members of the Board of Visitors, I
wrote to a friend a note, which he was authorized and directed
to show to Mr Edmunds, then in Richmond. The object of that
note, as set forth in the note itself, was to do what I considered
only right and just to do, by disclaiming any purpose
to give by the letter referred to any offence to any
member of the Board of Visitors or in any way to impugn the
motives which may have prompted their action. Regretting
as I do, that any expression should have been used by me
that was susceptible of such construction. I avail myself
of the opportunity afforded by your request to repeat to
you directly what I said to him through a friend and to
authorize you to make such use of it as may be consistent
with the only purpose and end of the explanation now given. A special meeting of the Board of Visitors of the
University of Virginia, having been called to meet at the
University this day by the request of three of the members
viz Messrs Edmunds Tucker and Robertson, the following
gentlemen appeared: T. J. Randolph Rector, J. R. Edmunds
J. B. Baldwin W. T. Joynes and J. R. Tucker visitors
When the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the adjourning order of 19th of March.

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 |
