 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.
