called for Wednesday the 17th October 1849 did not assemble
till Thursday the 18th when Joseph C. Cabell, John H. Cocke,
Thomas J. Randolph and Andrew Stevenson appeared and a Board
was organized: In obedience to a resolution of the Board of Visitors
of the University of Va. I have examined the Books of Alex:
Garrett, Bursar, from the 31st May 1848 to the 1st June 1849,
and find all his charges supported by vouchers, except 25
cents paid for a blank book. I find two small errors in his
addition amounting to 5 cents. The discrepancy between his
books and those of the Proctor on the 1st June 1849, occurred
by his not having paid and charged a warrant drawn by the
Proctor on the 14th May in fav. of P.S. Duval for $111. This
warrant he charges on the 2d June, after his Books were balanced.
When this entry is brought into his account, his books will
shew a balance on hand less than the balance shewn by the
Proctor's books of $6.78 after the Proctor gives him credit
by the 25 cents paid for the blank book. The discrepancy of
$6.78, I am told happened some years past and it still exists
as shewn by the statement on this sheet. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

Col Thomas J. Randolph Rector, Messrs John B. Edmunds, Wm
T. Joynes, J. B. Baldwin, M. R. H. Garnett, Wm J. Robertson
and James L. Carr. who constituting a quorum, were called
to order by the Rector, On motion of Mr Joynes it was After carefully considering the Preamble & Resolution
of the Board adopted in regard to my relations to the University
in the matter of Compensation, I am obliged to say that
they have caused me very great pain, & have left me in
serious doubt as to the purposes of the Board, so far as
they may be gathered from the Preamble & Resolution themselves.
They seem to me to be at least strongly suggestive
of a future too uncertain to be relied on, while the preamble
places me in the most unenviable aspect before the
Board, as coming voluntarily before them to assert rights,
on my part, & deny rights on theirs, & in a way that disconnected
from the circumstances & qualifications does hardly
do me justice. Having these views & feeling, I have considered
it right, & a duty to myself respectfully to request
the Board to say if they should think fit whether it is their
purpose to give me warning of the insecurity of the provision
made for any compensation, & of the revocation of the arrangement
with me to the effect of denying the instance of
any fair right on my part to expect it to continue substantially
in existence, or whether I may understand that apart
from all technical interpretations, I may look for the
continuance of the arrangement so long as the policy of the
University, or the Conduct of the Professor shall not demand
a change. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
