 Title:  Board of Visitors minutes  
 Published:  1861 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | UVA-LIB-BoardOfVisitorsMinutes 
 Description: The Board met pursuant to the adjourning order of July 5th 1861. Present Thomas J. Randolph Rector. Franklin Minor, John R. Edmundes, James Neeson, P. H. Aylett and Wm. H. Terrell visitors, when the following proceedings were had. In pursuance of the enactments of the University, I request permission to resign the Chair which I now have the honour to hold in that institution. I desire this resignation to take effect at the end of the session, or at the option of the Board, any earlier period, at which the vacancy can be permanently filled. I prefer the request under an earnest conviction that it is my duty to yeld to the wishes of a great number of my fellow citizens who have called upon me to become a candidate for the approaching State convention. I trust that it is unnecessary for me to assure the Board, of the reluctance with which I have taken this step, My duties at the University afford ample scope for the gratification of all my tastes and my whole ambition; and the steadily increasing number of my students furnish the most satisfactory evidence that not withstanding much misapprehension as to the character of my instruction, it commands the confidence and approbation of the community at large.
