 Description: The following members of the Board were present: Col Thomas J. Randolph Rector, Messrs John B. Edmunds, Wm T. Joynes, J. B. Baldwin, M. R. H. Garnett, Wm J. Robertson and James L. Carr. who constituting a quorum, were called to order by the Rector, On motion of Mr Joynes it was After carefully considering the Preamble & Resolution of the Board adopted in regard to my relations to the University in the matter of Compensation, I am obliged to say that they have caused me very great pain, & have left me in serious doubt as to the purposes of the Board, so far as they may be gathered from the Preamble & Resolution themselves. They seem to me to be at least strongly suggestive of a future too uncertain to be relied on, while the preamble places me in the most unenviable aspect before the Board, as coming voluntarily before them to assert rights, on my part, & deny rights on theirs, & in a way that disconnected from the circumstances & qualifications does hardly do me justice. Having these views & feeling, I have considered it right, & a duty to myself respectfully to request the Board to say if they should think fit whether it is their purpose to give me warning of the insecurity of the provision made for any compensation, & of the revocation of the arrangement with me to the effect of denying the instance of any fair right on my part to expect it to continue substantially in existence, or whether I may understand that apart from all technical interpretations, I may look for the continuance of the arrangement so long as the policy of the University, or the Conduct of the Professor shall not demand a change.
