University of Virginia, May 9th, 1912. In accordance with the authorization of the Trustees of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, referred to in my letter of January 31st, 1912, I beg to enclose herewith our check for $6,250.00, being payment of the balance of the Endowment Fund to create a Fellowship for the study of the negro, under the terms and conditions outlined in my letter of January 31st, 1912. The Board of Visitors of your Institution should, in session, by resolution, designate such officers of the Institution as they may elect, to make demands, monthly, in the corporate name of the Institution upon the Auditor of Public Accounts for the payments of the several funds appropriated to your Institution. Copy of the resolution adopted by the Board in session, should be duly certified to this office, so that I may, on and after June 1st, 1912, draw warrants on the Treasury payable to the Institution in its corporate name, which warrants will be mailed direct from this office to such officer of the Institutions as the resolution may direct. The resolution can be so drawn as to have force and effect until changed by similar resolution adopted by that Board. Believing that there is room and demand for a second drug store at the University of Virginia, we have decided to make the following offer,

 Description: At the regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors on above date, at 8:30 P.M., The University of Virginia now holds a balance of $42,500.00 upon the L. P. Stearnes loan which matures in the following manner: I have the honor to inform you that in accordance with your recommendation and in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation, retiring allowances have been voted to the following officers in the University of Virginia, to be paid in the ordinary way through the University. I have great pleasure in acknowledging receipt of your communication of May 10, 1912, informing me that in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation, retiring allowances had been voted to the following officers in the University of Virginia to be paid in the ordinary way through the University: Milton Wylie Humphreys, $2050.00, Isaac Kimber Moran, $1460.00, Ormond Stone, $2050.00. I have notified these gentlemen of the action of the Foundation and beg to express to you for them their very great obligations. When their resignations are received by the Rector and Visitors, I shall give you due notice. I am in receipt of a communication from the Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which contains this statement, "I have the honor to inform you that, in accordance with your recommendation and in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation, a retiring allowance has been voted to Milton Wylie Humphreys, to be paid in the ordinary way through the University. This retiring allowance amounts to $2050.00. The allowance of Prof. Humphreys will become effective on September 15, 1912." To you as President, and through you to the Rector and Visitors I hereby tender my resignation as Professor of Greek in the University of Virginia, to take effect September fifteenth, 1912. I am in receipt of a communication from the Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching which contains this statement, "I have the honor to inform you that, in accordance with your recommendation and in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation, a retiring allowance has been voted to Ormond Stone, to be paid in the ordinary way through the University. This retiring allowance amounts to $2050.00. The allowance of Professor Stone will become effective on September 15, 1912." Having been granted, in accordance with your recent letter, at my request, a retiring allowance by the Carnegie Foundation, I beg that you will kindly transmit to the Rector and Visitors my resignation as Professor of Astronomy, to take effect September 15th, next. In doing so I desire to express to you and the Faculty, as well as to the Rector and Visitors my sincere thanks for the many courtesies I have received during the thirty happy years I have spent at this University. May I also express the pleasure I have enjoyed in watching the growing spirit of progress which during these years has gradually infused       the life of the University, especially during the eight eventful years in which you have been its leader. I wish also to express my pleasure in noting the growing realization of the duty of the University constantly to readjust itself in order that it may with ever increasing efficiency contribute to the higher life of the people. In the firm belief that this spirit and this realization will continue to grow with the passing years, I lay down my work here with pride that I have been privileged for so long a time to be connected with an institution possessed of such splendid traditions, and (what is more important) inspired by such noble ambition to serve. With sincere personal esteem, I have the honor to inform you that the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has this day notified me that a retiring allowance has been voted to Isaac Kimber Moran to be paid in the ordinary way through the University. This retiring allowance will become effective on October 1, 1912. The amount accorded to you is $1460.00. It has been known to you for some months past that I have had in contemplation the relinquishment of the offices with which the University has so long honored me. I hereby tender to you my resignation as Bursar of the University of Virginia, and also as Secretary to the Board of Visitors, to take effect on October 1st, 1912. I respectfully request that I be permitted to occupy my present residence on University grounds, for the year from October 1st, 1912 to October 1st, 1913, at the same rental I am now paying; viz. $200.00 per annum.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors on above date, Were hereby make application through you to the Rector and Visitors of the University, that the house formerly occupied by Professor J. W. Mallet be assigned to us, jointly, when it shall be given up by Mrs. Mallet. I beg to recommend that we carry out the suggestion made by Messrs. Coolidge and Bacon at their recent visit to the University. I have only by a slow process reached this conclusion. It was made to us some four years ago by Mr. Brown, the landscape man for the Government grounds and buildings at Washington.

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors, called for the consideration of the Financial Budget for 1913-1914. The Committee on Entrance Building having made the foregoing report, it was After the annual report of the Department of Engineering had been made and forwarded to the President, it was learned that Mr. J. S. Lapham, a graduate of this University in Mechanical Engineering, desired an appointment on our teaching staff. Mr. Lapham is a young man of unusual ability; and, if his application had been received earlier, he would undoubtedly have been engaged. It is not often that any school has the opportunity of securing the services of a man so eminently fitted by capacity, training, and character to make a useful and accomplished University teacher. The department is already committed to the young men nominated in our report as instructors for 1913-1914, and cannot in good faith, cancel any one of the nominations. On the other hand, the opportunity is one which cannot be postponed; unless Mr. Lapham comes to us, he will go into business with his father, and such permanent changes will have to be made in the details of that business as will prevent him from accepting a position with us in the future. As you are already aware, I have recently sent to the Trustees of the Carnegie Foundation a formal application for retirement, feeling that after forty years of full professional work and twenty-five years of active service at this University, the time has come when it is wise for me to take advantage of the provisions of the Foundation, I. We recommend that the sites on Carr's Hill for fraternity houses, be at present restricted to four, and that the northernmost site be located on a line passing through the centre of the president's residence and the centre of the president's stable, and at least as far distant from the president's house as is the location of the "Delta Tau Delta" house. Prof. Newcomb who is planning the plants for the sewage purification, as directed by the State Board of Health, indicates that we will have to acquire land to furnish a sufficient fall to carry off the effluent from the filter beds.

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors on above date, in the office of the President, East Lawn. I have already advised you by letter of the matter of this supplementary report, but at the suggestion of Dean Page, I am now putting the matter in such form that it may be laid before the Visitors at their meeting to be held within the next few days. As you have not acted officially in the matter, and as there is not now time to transmit this report to you for action, the purpose of bringing it before the Visitors at this meeting is not for action thereon, but in the hope that they may refer it to you, or to yourself and the Executive Committee, for suchaction as youmay deem wise—and thus secure earlier action than would otherwise be possible.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors in the office of the President, East Lawn, on above date, In accordance with the agreement at the conference between Dr. P. H. Whitehead, Dean of the Medical Department of the University of Virginia, Dr. Stuart McGuire, Dean of the Medical College of Virginia, and myself, in this city on Thursday evening last, the Executive Committee of the Medical College of Virginia yesterday appointed a committee of five to confer with a similar committee to be appointed by the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia to discuss plans looking to the union of the medical schools in this state. The committee consists of— On September 1, 1913, I, as Chairman of the Commons Committee, entered into a contract with Charles Jaimes Leasing the University Commons for the period of one year. The terms of this agreement are exactly the same as authorized by the Rector and Board of Visitors in the spring of 1912, except that in lieu of a surety bond guaranteeing the safe return of the University's property, I accepted a $50.00 a month deposit with the Bursar of the University. It was impossible for Mr. Jaimes to secure the bond required, and I substituted this cash deposit because I believed that the University's interests were amply safeguarded thereby, and on account of the limited time, it was impossible for me to wait for authority from the Board.

Having learned through Dr. Booker of Balitmore that Dr. W. P. Morgan was on the point of bestowing his library upon some institution, Dr. Harry T. Marshall conveyed to me, as Chairman of the Library Committee, this information. After an exchange of letters with Dr. Morgan Dr. Marshall and myself visited him at his home, 315 Monument Street, Baltimore—with the result that he presented to us his entire collection of books, claiming the right to reserve some of the books for his own use as long as he should live.

We the undersigned residents east of the University, beg permission to enter the University grounds near the Coal Bin.

 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this date at three o'clock in the Administration Building. After consideration of the petition of the University Cemetery Endowment Association, and the estimate of the costs of the proposed addition, by the Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings, the Executive Committee recommends the passage of the following resolutions: Some time after the return of President Alderman, the Bursar, at the suggestion of the President, consulted the Chairman of the Executive Committee, as to what compensation the Dean of the University should receive. Since July, Dr. Page had been receiving the regular salary of a full professor, $3,300.00 and a house; $350.00 as Dean, and $1,500 as acting President during Dr. Alderman's absence,—a total of $5150.00 and a house. After Dr. Alderman's return the Bursar was uncertain of his authority to continue paying Dr. Page as acting president. He asked advice of the President, who referred him to the Chairman of the Executive Committee. The latter corresponded with the other members of the committee, but it was decided to defer action until the meeting of the Board of Visitors. Since November the 1st, the payment of the salary of $1500.00 as acting president has been discontinued.

 Description: Pursuant to call of the Rector, the Board met on this date at 2 o'cl p.m., with the following members present: Armistead C. Gordon, Recto Goodrich Hatton, J. W. Craddock, G.R.B. Michie and Dr. W. F. Drewry. President Alderman was also in attendance. The President announced the following gifts to the University: I am writing for my Aunt to enclose her check for Ten Thousand Dollars. She would like this gift to be a continuation of her former gift for the gate to be used for the improvement of the roads, and in memory of Mr. Senff. I am very, very sorry that you cannot be with me on Founder's Day, but I shall count most confidently on having you in my home as my guest to see this place before many months have gone by. Mr. Langhorne, of course, will want you, but you must be with me for some portion of your time here. I have just received and read with great happiness and satisfaction your letter of March 23. I feel sure that I can with entire propriety and satisfaction treat the arrangement you suggest as a donation of $50,000, and will be most happy so to do. It would be difficult for me to tell you how much real strength and helpfulness you are giving to the University of Virginia by this gift, supplying, as it will undoubtedly do, a need so urgent and acute that I have been at my wit's end to know what to do to care for it. I am very glad to learn by your letter of March 27th that my proposition to make the donation of $50,000. in the form of a check for $25,000. and my note for the same amount due and payable on or before January 5th, 1916, is satisfactory to you. About the 7th or 8th of April I will send the check and note on to you. In the meantime I will be glad if you will write me whether the whole of the gift will likely be used for a single building and what part, if any, will be used for laboratory equipment. I am, of course, greatly pleased at the thought of being helpful to the University at a time when its need is urgent. I note by your letter of March 31st that the whole of my gift to the University will be applied to a laboratory for chemistry. This is entirely agreeable to me and I think now I shall, within two or three days, send you my check for $50,000. instead of a check for $25,000. and a note for the same amount. In compliance with my recent promise to you I take pleasure in enclosing herewith my check # 66, on Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, to your order, for $50,000. This is a gift outright to the University of Virginia. I understand it is your purpose to use the proceeds of this check towards the erection of a building for a chemical laboratory. In the purpose for which the donation is to be used, in the fact that the donation is to the University of Virginia, in the certainty that a large part of such benefits as will come from the gift will go to the South, my most earnest desires are fully met and under such conditions I feel it a privilege to be able to make the donation. My original plan was to make this gift on the occasion of your return to the University last fall from your long illness but the War interfered with my intentions. Your unselfish spirit will, I know, excuse the delay. As Secretary of the Board of Trustees under the deed of the late Samuel Miller I am directed to say that at a meeting of the Board held this morning Mr. Ivey F. Lewis, of the University of Missouri was unanimously nominated to the Board of Visitors to fill the Chair made vacant by the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle in the School established under the provisions of the deed of Samuel Miller. I am directed by the Board to request you to lay this nomination before the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia for their action. RESOLVED: That this Board will at its June, 1915 meeting make appropriation of the fund at its disposal, and in making the nomination for the Chair made vacant by the resignation of Professor Albert H. Tuttle it is the sense of this Board that the Department of which the newly nominated Professor is to be the head if elected by the Board of Visitors - should be reorganized by the latter Board so as to carry out as far as practicable with the fund available, the purposes of Mr. Miller, and that this Board will hereafter proceed to appropriate the entire net income of the Miller Fund to the support of the department of which the new professor is to be the head. Some eight years ago, I notified the University that in drafting my will I had inserted a clause bequeathing it the sum of thirty thousand (30,000) dollars; the purpose of the gift being the erection of a teaching building on the grounds of the University; and that I had made this bequest in response to a feeling of deep gratitude to the University for the inestimable service it did for me during my student days of long ago. I have your letter of April 3rd and thank you for the kind expressions, &c. By an instrument in writing purporting to be a deed, and dated May 10th, 1912, John Armstrong Chaloner states that thereby he conveys certain real estate situated at Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina, to the University of Virginia, and the University of North Carolina, jointly, reserving to himself a life estate therein; and this instrument is recorded in the Clerk's Office of Albemarle County, Virginia, in Deed Book 150, page 136. The regular annual meeting of the Board of Visitors was held on this date with the following present: Armistead C. Gordon, Rector, Goodrich Hatton, R. Tate Irvine, John W. Craddock, Wm. H. White, G. B. R. Michie, Dr. W. F. Drewry, Walter Tansill Oliver and Dr. Frank W. Lewis. I want to donate one thousand dollars to the University because of my loyalty to her, and for what she stands and has done - not that that sum is the measure of my estimate of her worth or my admiration. I learn from the Bursar that the new schedule of fees in Engineering announced in the catalogue will have to receive your formal approval and be validated by action of the Board of Visitors before it is put into force. A special Committee of three appointed by the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Association to consider, with power to act, the question of financing the Secretary of the Alumni Association and his office, begs leave to announce to the Board of Visitors that it has decided to recommend to the Alumni Association that it guarantee the sum of $2500.00 yearly for three years, which with the $1500.00 a year appropriated by the Board of Visitors for the same purpose and which we assume will be continued, will make $4000.00 a year, the sum estimated sufficient to conduct this important work.
