P. M. and continued on the following morning at nine-thirty.
There were present Visitors H. D. Dillard, W. R. Duke, Paul
Goodloe McIntire, Miss. Emily McVea, Walter T. Oliver, F. W.
Scott, C. Harding Walker, Lewis C. Williams and President
Alderman. On behalf of the donors, I have the privilege of
presenting to the Rector and Visitors a portrait of the first
President of the University of Virginia. It is the work of
Eugene Speicher, of New York, a noted artist and portrait painter.
The portrait is the joint gift of many alumni, members of the
faculty, and other friends of the President and of the University. I beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your kind letter, in which you announce the presentation
to the Rector and Visitors, by a joint group of alumni,
members of the faculty, and friends of the University and of
the President, a portrait of the first President of the University
of Virginia. Please find attached hereto a petition signed by
sixteen of your professors living north of the University
who request that we build a small waiting room at the end
of our car line on Rugby Road, near the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway. My mother, sisters, brother and myself
are planning to make a contribution to the Centennial
Endowment Fund, which we wish to take the shape of a
memorial of some kind to my father, William H. White.
It is our wish that it be used in some way in connection
with the Law School. As we do not know how it could be
best used, we are desirous of an expression of an opinion
from you. The fund will be available early in May and will
be about $10,000.00. I have your letter of the 7th inst.,
and it is difficult for me to tell you how much pleasure
and satisfaction it would be for me and to this University
to have here this memorial to my dear friend, your father.
It so happened that we served together on the Board of
Visitors and the Alumni Board for over ten years, and I know
something of his devotion to the Institution. It is equally
pleasing to me that you contemplate something in connection
with the Law School. I am coming to Washington, unless I
am prevented by reasons not now foreseen, about the 21st
of April, and I shall let you know in advance of my coming.
Of course, I shall treat your communication as confidential. Please find enclosed the following
checks: The Trustees of the Austin Estate held for a number
of years a mortgage from the heirs of Elizabeth C. Blackbird.
A year ago last December the mortgage was paid off and we
executed a discharge of the same. The Carnegie Corporation has upon its books an
appropriation of One Hundred Thousand dollars ($1000,000)
to the University of Virginia on which it is at present paying
interest, all conditions in connection therewith having
been fulfilled by the University of Virginia. If satisfactory
to you, the Corporation will find it convenient to pay
this amount in cash on June thirtieth, together with the
regular quarterly payment of interest. I am sending you this
advance notice in order that you may make what arrangements
are necessary for the disposition of the funds. I have your communication of the 6th inst., informing
me that on June 30, the Corporation will find it
convenient to pay the amount of $100,000 to the University
of Virginia together with the regular quarterly payment of
interest. Confirming our conversation of this morning:The
Chi Phi Fraternity would like to lease for the purposes
of building a fraternity house, a plot of land on
Rugby Road between The Gymnasium and the Kappa Sigma house. Please refer to our letter of May 31st in which
we ask for a lease to a certain piece of land for the use of
the Chi Phi Fraternity:- | | | Similar Items: | Find |
