of the University of Virginia held thereat on the 15th day of
June 1896. The Executive Committee of the Visitors respectfully
recommend as follows:- Having learned that the chair which I have the honor to
hold in the University has been merged into the School of Modern
Languages by your Hon. body, I would respectfully inquire
whether this action results from any dissatisfaction with the
conduct of the chair, what are the grounds of such dissatisfaction,
if any, & on what evidence it is based. In view of the action of your Hon. body in abolishing
the School of the English Language as a separate school and
assigning the subject to the School of Modern Languages, and
in view also of the resolution passed in reply to my letter
of the 16th inst., I have the honor respectfully to tender my
resignation as Professor of the English Language in the University
of Virginia, to take effect Sept 14th 1896. I remain
yours respectfully, The undersigned Committee respectfully report that after
a conference with the Miller Board a satisfactory settlement
has been made which is embodied in a paper filed herewith,
marked "M", as a part of this report. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
