 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors, called for the consideration of the "Financial Budget" for 1911-1912, I hereby tender to you and through you to the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, my resignation as Professor of Secondary Education, and as Professor of Psychology, and as Director of the Summer School at the University of Virginia. I should like for this resignation to take effect at the end of the scholastic year, June 14, 1911. I think it advisable to continue my connection with the Summer School until its close, July 29th, and with respect to that phase of my work this resignation should not become operative until July 29th. It may be that I cannot be present every day during the Summer School, but if agreeable I shall be present as often as possible. By the Eleventh Article of his last will and Testament the Hon. Lambert Tree, Deceased, of this city, bequeathed to your institution the sum of $5,000.00 to be invested in perpetuity for the benefit of your library. To be used in the purchase of books, or such other ways as may be deemed best for said library. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 29th, inst., containing a check for $4,854.61, being the bequest of the Hon. Lambert Tree, deceased, to the University of Virginia, less the inheritance tax of the State of Illinois of $145.39. I also acknowledge receipt of the copy of article XI of the will of Lambert Tree, deceased, setting forth the purpose for which this bequest shall be used. The University of Virginia will in due time express proper gratitude through its Rector and Visitors for this bequest.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia on above date in the Presidents' Office. The following statement was presented by the President, and ordered to be placed on record as follows: I beg to submit to you the following reports from the Faculty of the Department of Graduate Studies of the University of Virginia and the Faculty of the College of the University of Virginia, the two comprising the Academic Department of the Institution. I submit these reports with my entire approval and endorsement. They are the result of patient study of specially appointed committees of these faculties extending over a period of two years. They have been carefully considered and discussed by the Faculties themselves in utmost detail. In some cases they have been held up for months with a view of obtaining the best information on all subjects connected with the curriculum and the methods of teaching in modern colleges. They have passed the Facilties of the Department of Graduate Studies and of the College with practical unanimity. The report of the Faculty of the Graduate Department is unanimous, and the report from the Faculty of the College comes to you with only one dissenting vote. The fundamental purpose in these proposed modifications is to increase the power, to elevate the standards, and to place on a surer pedagogic basis all instruction given at the University of Virginia.
