 Description: A special meeting of the Rector and Visitors was held on this date, at 8 o'clock p.m., with the following present: The Rector C. Harding Walker, Visitors Dillard, Duke, McVea, Oliver and Scott, and President Alderman. The Committee on Saturday, October 13th had interviews with Dr. Hancock and Dr. Lambeth and saw both heating plants. The Committee is of the opinion that it would be well for them to be under one head and as Dr. Hancock has resigned, advise that Dr. Lambeth be placed in charge of all heating plants. I have the honor herewith to report on the work of the expedition sent to California by the Leander of McCormick Observatory to make observations on the total eclipse of the sun on September 10, 1923. Your letter of the eleventh was duly received. I went over this morning to see Mr. Bradford about the transfer of the portrait of Jefferson in the Colonnade Club to Jefferson Hall. With the assistance of the janitor there, I hung the picture where Sully's Jefferson formerly hung. The Jefferson Society has now in its possession a portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Thomas Sully purchased some seventy years ago by the Society for the sum of approximately five hundred dollars.
