Board of Visitors | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Board of Visitors minutes  | | | | Published: | 1857 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-BoardOfVisitorsMinutes | | | | Description: | The following members of the Board were present:
Col Thomas J. Randolph Rector, Messrs John B. Edmunds, Wm
T. Joynes, J. B. Baldwin, M. R. H. Garnett, Wm J. Robertson
and James L. Carr. who constituting a quorum, were called
to order by the Rector, On motion of Mr Joynes it was After carefully considering the Preamble & Resolution
of the Board adopted in regard to my relations to the University
in the matter of Compensation, I am obliged to say that
they have caused me very great pain, & have left me in
serious doubt as to the purposes of the Board, so far as
they may be gathered from the Preamble & Resolution themselves.
They seem to me to be at least strongly suggestive
of a future too uncertain to be relied on, while the preamble
places me in the most unenviable aspect before the
Board, as coming voluntarily before them to assert rights,
on my part, & deny rights on theirs, & in a way that disconnected
from the circumstances & qualifications does hardly
do me justice. Having these views & feeling, I have considered
it right, & a duty to myself respectfully to request
the Board to say if they should think fit whether it is their
purpose to give me warning of the insecurity of the provision
made for any compensation, & of the revocation of the arrangement
with me to the effect of denying the instance of
any fair right on my part to expect it to continue substantially
in existence, or whether I may understand that apart
from all technical interpretations, I may look for the
continuance of the arrangement so long as the policy of the
University, or the Conduct of the Professor shall not demand
a change. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
