 Description: Board met pursuant to the Call of the Rector of the University and was called to order by the Rector. I propose to make the University of Virginia a similar donation with same conditions as that made on the 8th December 1876, for the purpose of endowing a professorship of Natural History, as a token of my warm personal regard, and as an expression of the gratitude which I, in common with the Citizens of the Old Commonwealth, feel for the profound scholarship it has given to the Country- a scholarship which has impressed itself on the Universities of the Old World, and enlisted the sympathy of the honored Queen of England. I had the pleasure of receiving by the mail of yesterday, your letter, dated 13th inst: in which you communicate to me officially, your purpose to make, to the University of Virginia, a farther donation of $50,000 in Virginia Consol bonds, for the purpose of endowing a Professorship of Natural History, in the Institution.
