 Description: At a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia called by the Rector and held in pursuance of notice, on the 17th day of February 1898, University of Virginia, March 17th 1898. As chairman of the University I take pleasure in reporting that so far this session the health and general conduct of the students have been extremely good, and I take still greater pleasure in reporting that they have met their financial obligations in a way that leads me to hope that the deficiency caused by the action of the Legislature can be largely made up in this office. To the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia, Gentlemen: In view of the contemplated dedication of the new buildings in June next it is absolutely imperative that the Board should decide now what sum of money it can appropriate for this celebration. This sum should be appropriated and made available at once, as the Joint Committee on celebrations can do nothing until they know exactly what sum is at hand. The celebration is but a part of the necessary advertising of the University and in view of all the circumstances should be as liberally provided for as possible. I have just received a letter from my brother, stating that you have a meeting of the Committee and Board of Visitors on March 17th. The final certificate has been sent, and you also have our bill in full. In reply to your request for figures for the connecting arcades on the University of Virginia, will say that we will construct the two arcades connecting the Academical with the Mechanical and with the Physical buildings, for the sum of $1250.00 each.
