Carson, Hall, McIntire, Munford, Rinehart, Shackelford, Walker and Williams, and Acting
President Newcomb. The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia inexpressibly
shocked and grieved at the announcement of the sudden death of Dr. Edwin
A. Alderman, the President of the University, which occurred on the night
of April the 29th while on his way to the University of Illinois to deliver
an address at the inauguration of its President, desire to record on their
minutes some expression of their sense of the loss which has been sustained
in his death by the University, the State of Virginia and the cause of
education throughout the country, especially in the South where his life
was passed, as well as of their own sense of personal bereavement occasioned
by this sad event. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
