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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

land between the Cemetery branch and Mrs. Towles' line,
for the purposes of pasture and gardening. At present,
it is swamp land grown up in rushes and brush. It
will be greatly improved by use; and of course, can be
surrendered immediately on demand of the University. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
