$42,500.00 upon the L. P. Stearnes loan which matures
in the following manner: I have the honor to inform you
that in accordance with your recommendation and in conformity
with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation, retiring allowances
have been voted to the following officers in the University
of Virginia, to be paid in the ordinary way through the
University. I have great pleasure in acknowledging
receipt of your communication of May 10, 1912, informing
me that in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie
Foundation, retiring allowances had been voted to the
following officers in the University of Virginia to be
paid in the ordinary way through the University: Milton
Wylie Humphreys, $2050.00, Isaac Kimber Moran, $1460.00,
Ormond Stone, $2050.00. I have notified these gentlemen
of the action of the Foundation and beg to express to
you for them their very great obligations. When their
resignations are received by the Rector and Visitors, I
shall give you due notice. I am in receipt of a communication
from the Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching, which contains this statement,
"I have the honor to inform you that, in accordance
with your recommendation and in conformity with the rules
of the Carnegie Foundation, a retiring allowance has been
voted to Milton Wylie Humphreys, to be paid in the ordinary
way through the University. This retiring allowance amounts
to $2050.00. The allowance of Prof. Humphreys will become
effective on September 15, 1912." To you as President, and through you
to the Rector and Visitors I hereby tender my resignation
as Professor of Greek in the University of Virginia, to take
effect September fifteenth, 1912. I am in receipt of a communication
from the Secretary of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement
of Teaching which contains this statement, "I have the
honor to inform you that, in accordance with your recommendation
and in conformity with the rules of the Carnegie Foundation,
a retiring allowance has been voted to Ormond Stone,
to be paid in the ordinary way through the University. This
retiring allowance amounts to $2050.00. The allowance of
Professor Stone will become effective on September 15,
1912." Having been granted, in accordance
with your recent letter, at my request, a retiring allowance
by the Carnegie Foundation, I beg that you will kindly
transmit to the Rector and Visitors my resignation as Professor
of Astronomy, to take effect September 15th, next. In doing
so I desire to express to you and the Faculty, as well as to
the Rector and Visitors my sincere thanks for the many
courtesies I have received during the thirty happy years
I have spent at this University. May I also express the pleasure
I have enjoyed in watching the growing spirit of progress
which during these years has gradually infused
the life of the University, especially during the eight
eventful years in which you have been its leader. I wish
also to express my pleasure in noting the growing realization
of the duty of the University constantly to readjust itself
in order that it may with ever increasing efficiency contribute
to the higher life of the people. In the firm
belief that this spirit and this realization will continue
to grow with the passing years, I lay down my work here with
pride that I have been privileged for so long a time to be
connected with an institution possessed of such splendid
traditions, and (what is more important) inspired by such
noble ambition to serve. With sincere personal esteem, I have the honor to inform you that the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has this
day notified me that a retiring allowance has been voted to
Isaac Kimber Moran to be paid in the ordinary way through
the University. This retiring allowance will become effective
on October 1, 1912. The amount accorded to you is $1460.00. It has been known to you for some months
past that I have had in contemplation the relinquishment
of the offices with which the University has so long honored
me. I hereby tender to you my resignation as Bursar
of the University of Virginia, and also as Secretary to
the Board of Visitors, to take effect on October 1st, 1912. I respectfully request that I be permitted to occupy
my present residence on University grounds, for the year from
October 1st, 1912 to October 1st, 1913, at the same rental
I am now paying; viz. $200.00 per annum. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
