 Description: The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Present the same members as on yesterday. Resolved That the Chair of Scientific, Experimental, and Practical Agriculture in the Agricultural Department of the University of Virginia is hereby established- I have discharged the duties of Chairman of the Faculty, by annual election of the Board of Visitors, for the last sixteen years- I have on one occasion at least since the close of the war, formally expressed to the Board my wish to be relieved from service in this capacity and I have often informally expressed the same wish to my friends- Whilst I have no right to presume that it will be your pleasure to continue me in this position, I respectfully ask that you will, by the appointment of another, relieve me from duties which may be better discharged by some other member of the Faculty. I beg leave to imform you that the present is the eighth week of a painful and most serious illness, which has not only kept me confined to the house during that time, under the constant attention of my physicians, but which this morning finds me so perfectly helpless, that I cannot even walk across the room.

 Description: The Board met pursuant to adjournment on the 23d Ult: The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. June 25th 1872 Your Committee on Grounds & Buildings beg leave to report that they have made such an inspection as seemed to them necessary to the discharge of the duties, and regret to say that they have found much delapidation in the buildings and great disfigurement in the grounds. The buildings are out of repair in various particulars, but more especially in the roofing of the terrace, and the "Dawson Row". The grounds are checkered with paths that are unsightly & entirely unnecessary. Your Committee are aware that the repairs desirable would require an expenditure beyond the revenue of the Institution at present but they recommend that provision be made for putting in order the roofs referred to, as the damage already serious is becoming worse every day and further delay in the matter will involve heavier cost. They are also apprised of the difficulty of preventing the short cuts across the ground but they nevertheless are of the opinion that the evil can be corrected by active attention and they therefore recommend that the Proctor be required to put in operation every expedient practicable to this end. The Committee on the Library respectfully report that upon inspection they found the Library in good condition there are many suggestions that might be made with a view to its improvements- such as the procurement of glass doors for many of the cases for the protection of the books, and others, but the financial embarrassment of the University is such as to render the requisite appropriations therefore inexpedient at this time. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. The Board met pursuant to adjournement last night. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday.

 Description: At the annual meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held at their office at the University of Virginia on the 28th day of June 1875. University of Va. The Committee on Finance offer the following report. The undersigned as Committee on the Library respectfully reports that he has made a careful inspection of the Library-assisted by Mr. Wertenbaker, and he found its condition all that could be desired under the circumstances. The Management and arrangement of this department reflects the highest credit on the venerable and efficient Librarian. Your Committee respectfully report that in the performance of their duties they have made such an inspection of the grounds & public buildings as their opportunities have made practicable and they are gratified to be able to state that both are in as good condition as could be expected or required under the circumstances. The Grounds exhibit evidence of careful attention and the Buildings show that every effort within the means of the Proctor has been made to preserve them, and to prevent as far as possible the decay inevitable from the want of the necessary repairs. In this connection Your Committee will inform the Board that they have called upon the Proctor to furnish them an estimate of the amount necessary to put the Buildings & Grounds in perfect order with a view to such action by the Board as will secure this sum, and they respectfully suggest that the General Assembly should be called for an appropriation for this purpose. Your Committee are aware of the consequences involved in any appearance of the University before the Legislature as an applicant for assistance, but they can but think that this body would recognize the necessity for preserving from loss the investment which the state has made here, and would accordingly provide the requisite funds. Your Committee therefore recommends that the executive Committee should be authorized to apply to the Legislature for an appropriation for this purpose, should they upon inquiry deem it judicious to do so. The Board met pursuant to adjournment on yesterday. Present the same members as on yesterday with the exception of Mr. Carrington, absent. Your Committee on Apparatus respectfully report, that the inventories required by law from Professors Mallet and Smith have been returned and no appropriations asked for. Allow me through your body to present to the University the polygraph used by Mr. Jefferson for the last twenty years of his life. In reserving for publication many thousand of these letters, they were found accurate facsimiles of his hand writing: no error except where the record pen was caught by some irregularity in the paper. When extricating itself with a spring it missed a few letters leaving space for them.
