 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors, called 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.

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors on above 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.

 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors in the 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.
