 Description: At an adjourned meeting of the Board of Visitors, held at the University on above date, I have the pleasure to send you under another cover a copy of the rules for the granting of retiring allowances by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. As the gifts stands at present, institutions like the University of Virginia, which are controlled by the State, are not admitted officially to its benefits, that question being left to be determined at the meeting of the Trustees in November. Meantime, however, at a meeting held yesterday, the Executive Committee decided to invite a few distinguished scholars to accept such retiring allowances as a recognition of unusual and extraordinary service as a scholar. In accordance with this resolution, I have the honor to inform you that the Committee of the Carnegie Foundation invites you to accept a retiring allowance of two thousand dollars ($2,000.) a year, this to begin from July 1, 1906. As you will note by the rules, one-half of this allowance, when granted to a teacher, is paid to his wife should she survive him. Your letter of the 22 inst. is duly received. By it I am informed that the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching invites me to accept a retiring allowance of two thousand dollars ($2000.) a year, to begin from July 1st, 1906, to which is added that one-half of this allowance is granted to my wife should she survive me. Will you please ask the Rector and Visitors of the University at their pending session on the 7th inst., to grant me permission to retire from active service in the University as Professor of Moral Philosophy.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors on above date in the President's Office, East Lawn, Enclosed please find copy of my letter to The Virginia Trust Co. of this State, which you will please file as my report on the loan of $12,000.00 to Messrs. A. W. Mosby and H. E. DeWitt. I am sending you herewith, for the account of the Rec- tor and Visitors of the University of Virginia: The Virginia Trust Company insists upon its charge of $150.00 for its services with the loan of bonds to the National Exchange Bank. Mr. Gilliam, President of the Bank, took the position, in which I concurred, that $50.00 was a fair amount for his bank to pay for this service, and, while I feel that the charge of the Virginia Trust Company is somewhat excessive, inasmuch as they have declined to reduce it, I have authorized them to charge the account of the University of Virginia with $100.00, in settlement of balance on this transaction.

 Description: At the meeting of the Board of Visitors called for this date, there being present only the Rector, and Visitors Craddock and Harmon, an informal conference was held with the President, and adjournment made subject to call of the Rector. University of Virginia, April 10th, 1908. As you know from my reports to you of earlier date, I have for some time felt the coming on of age, and the inevitable necessity for laying down the responsibility of my pleasant duties in the service of the University. I beg to acknowledge with sincere regret your communication of March 16th, putting into my hands, for transmission to the Visitors, your resignation of the Professorship of Chemistry in the University of Virginia. I shall present to the Visitors, at their approaching meeting, your formal letter of resignation, with the request that they take such action as they may deem fit and proper. It is with great regret that I feel compelled, by the pressure of age, and resulting loss of health and strength, to give up work in the service of the University of Virginia May I ask you to tender to the Rector and Board of Visitors of the University, my resignation as Professor of Pathology, to take effect September 15th, 1908, and also convey to them my regret at being "compelled" by the insistence of the call to a similar chair in my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, to leave the Medical school at this period in its development. I send herewith the copyright of the "Geology of Virginia" for the department of Geology of the University of Virginia, for its use without limitation as to time or other considerations. I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the copyright to the "Geology of Virginia" for the Department of Geology in the University of Virginia. I beg to renew our very sincere appreciation of your great kindness and generosity. I believe that the William Barton Rogers Chair of Geology here, since the establishment of the State Survey at the University, is destined to carry out in a noble way the original plans so splendidly laid out by your husband. I now make my third and final report, acting under decree in this cause of January 4th, 1908. This report embraces a full and detailed account of the Receipts, Disbursements, and Transactions of the Norfolk Bank for Savings and Trusts, Adm. c. t. a., of Edward W. James, deceased.

 Description: At a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, at 2:00 P. M. on above date, in the President's Office, In pursuance of our conversation, I have the honor to request that I be granted a leave of absence from the University of Virginia for the remainder of the current session, so that I may spend this period in Europe. I would not make this request if I believed that my absence would be detrimental to the University of Virginia. I have been fortunate in procuring the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope, of the University of South Carolina, to fill my chair during my absence. Dr. Wauchope is a Virginian, a graduate of Washington and Lee University, and a Doctor of Philosophy of Johns Hopkins University, and aprofessor of most successful experience. He is a man of culture and refinement, an excellent writer, and I am sure will prove an inspiration to the classes I leave in his charge. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of the 13th, inst., requesting a leave of absence from the University for the remainder of the present session, and stating that you have secured the consent of Dr. George A. Wauchope to serve in your stead. I am enclosing a correspondence between Dr. Kent and myself which explains itself. I am sending the correspondence to you with the request that you signify your approval or disapproval of the request contained in Dr. Kent's letter and approved by me, in order that I may inform Dr. Kent and officially inform Dr. Wauchope. There is no question of money involved in the transaction,- - that is to say, Dr. Kent's salary will go on, and he will compensate Dr. Wauchope for his services out of his (Dr. Kent's) salary, the University budget arrangement remaining undisturbed. The essential point, of course, is the essential fitness of Dr. Wauchope. He is, from all accounts, a very valuable and interesting man. His services will be from February until June, and I do not believe any harm will come to the character of our teaching, and some good from the interchange. I believe much good will come to the Department from Dr. Kent's residence in Europe for this period. It is a sort of Sabbatical year arrangement, without cost to the Institution, that I heartily approve of. Upon application of Dr. Charles W. Kent, I have recommended to the Rector and Visitors of the University that he be given a vacation for the remainder of the session. As you are aware, it is his purpose to spend this vacation abroad. Dr. Kent, in making the application to me, recommended most enthusiastically your name as a suitable incumbent for the Chair for the remainder of the session of 1910. I have to report that about 12:30 o'clock on the morning of the 8th of February, fire was discovered in the basement of the Chapel.

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, on May 6th, in the President's Office, The undersigned respectfully reports that pursuant to the resolution of the Visitors at the June meeting, 1909, providing for the transfer to the Alumni Board of Trustees of the University of Virginia Endowment Fund, as in said resolution set forth, on March 30, 1910, after having had a previous meeting with Mr. Eppa Hunton, Jr., the Treasurer of said Alumni Board of Trustees in Richmond, in order to arrange the various details for the proper transfer of those of said securities which were registered, the undersigned receipted to the Virginia Trust Company for the following named and described bonds, and turned the same over to said Hunton as Treasurer of said Alumni Board of Trustees of the University of Virginia Endowment Fund taking his receipts therefor in the words and figures following: viz.- Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector, the bond with all unmatured coupons thereto attached. Received of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, through the Honorable Armistead C. Gordon, Rector all of the above listed securities with all of the unmatured coupons thereto attached. The Executive Committee of the local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa requests that, unless you yourself see some reason for not doing so, you will submit to the Board of Visitors, their request that the Chapter be granted the use of one of the rooms of the University, and would suggest as suitable for the purpose, the unoccupied room on East Range in the building in which Dr. B. W. Green now resides. We desire this room to keep in it the records, library, photographs, and other property of the Chapter, and for the use of the officers of the Chapter in the discharge of their duties. I enclose herewith a formal contract prepared by Messrs. Moon and Fife, relative to the removal of the track, &c., by the Street Car Company. It has been executed by the Company, and I have signed it as Chairman of the Executive Committee. When this Company began the work, I was under the impression that the Committee, composed of yourself, Dr. Lambeth, and myself, had power to act in the matter; but it seems that the power was vested in you gentlemen and the Executive Committee. I will be glad if you will have this paper properly executed at the meeting of the Board called for Saturday. I regret to say it will be impossible for me to attend the meeting, as I shall be out of town. On the 10th day of April 1908, the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia adopted a resolution that the petition of the Charlottesville and Albemarle Railway Company for change of the location of its line be referred to you gentlemen with authority to act. I enclose herewith a paper from Mr. L. T. Hanckel, President of the Street Railway Company, making application for permission to change the location and grade of the street-car track as it passes over the lands of the University. The undersigned respectfully requests your honorable body to permit it to change the location of its Street Car Line running through the premises of the University of Virginia. It is desired to change the location of its railway line from its present one to a point lying north of the trestle and south of the light and heating plant of the University of Virginia,- the new line to be located at such point and along such curves and grades as will be agreeable to and approved by your body.

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication of June 11th, containing a presentation of the conditions under which the McCormick Observatory was established at the University of Virginia, and making certain suggestions as to the future use of the observatory and the future conduct of the astronomical work at the University. I had hoped to be able to present that matter to the Board at their June meeting, but by reason of circumstances beyond my control, that meeting was not held, and it is not possible to bring the matter before them before the early fall. Your letter and all the facts must be brought before them and a clear decision reached. The great majority of the Board are men who have taken up service on the Board since these matters were handled, and it will be necessary for them to go back over the records and make a study of the situation themselves. I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 20th which has been forwarded to me. Please accept thanks for yours of the                 3d. According to the records of the Board of Visitors of the University, the duties of the Professor of Astronomy were to be two-fold: 1st. To teach theoretical and practical astronomy: 2nd. To spend any remaining time in the use of the telescope. Enclosed please find a copy of the above mentioned trust, the original of which is recorded and filed in the clerk's office of the Albemarle Co., court, also an order on the Albemarle Nat. Bank for the two bonds mentioned in said document, the interest from which is to be devoted to the scholarship. I have the honor to report that at their meeting of Nov. 7 last, the Academic Faculty approved the attached outline of a proposal course in Public Speaking. By resolution the Faculty recommended that the proposed course be approved by the       President and Visitors and the the course be given            the value of one elective at large, when offered for the Baccalaureate Degree.
