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

purchase of instruments necessary for the instruction of his
class. A petition largely signed by students requesting that
the ordinance in reference to board should be so amended as
to permit them to change their boarding houses without requiring
them to give up their rooms. We referred their application
to the Faculty who advised that no change should be made in
the ordinance; we therefore declined to accede to their request. At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the
University- The Committee on the Library respectfully report that upon
a personal inspection of the Library, they find the Books well
preserved, and the cases and other furniture in good condition.
The judicious plan persued both as to the classification and
