 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
