for the consideration of the "Financial Budget" for 1911-1912, I hereby tender to you and through you to the
Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia, my resignation
as Professor of Secondary Education, and as Professor of
Psychology, and as Director of the Summer School at the
University of Virginia. I should like for this resignation
to take effect at the end of the scholastic year, June 14,
1911. I think it advisable to continue my connection with
the Summer School until its close, July 29th, and with respect
to that phase of my work this resignation should not become
operative until July 29th. It may be that I cannot be present
every day during the Summer School, but if agreeable
I shall be present as often as possible. By the Eleventh Article of his last will and Testament
the Hon. Lambert Tree, Deceased, of this city, bequeathed to
your institution the sum of $5,000.00 to be invested in
perpetuity for the benefit of your library. To be used in
the purchase of books, or such other ways as may be deemed
best for said library. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your communication
of the 29th, inst., containing a check for $4,854.61, being
the bequest of the Hon. Lambert Tree, deceased, to the University
of Virginia, less the inheritance tax of the State of Illinois
of $145.39. I also acknowledge receipt of the copy of article
XI of the will of Lambert Tree, deceased, setting forth
the purpose for which this bequest shall be used. The
University of Virginia will in due time express proper
gratitude through its Rector and Visitors for this bequest. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

University of Virginia on above date in the Presidents'
Office. The following statement was presented by the President,
and ordered to be placed on record as follows: I beg to submit to you the following reports from
the Faculty of the Department of Graduate Studies of the
University of Virginia and the Faculty of the College of the
University of Virginia, the two comprising the Academic
Department of the Institution. I submit these reports
with my entire approval and endorsement. They are the
result of patient study of specially appointed committees
of these faculties extending over a period of two years.
They have been carefully considered and discussed by the
Faculties themselves in utmost detail. In some cases they
have been held up for months with a view of obtaining the
best information on all subjects connected with the curriculum
and the methods of teaching in modern colleges. They
have passed the Facilties of the Department of Graduate
Studies and of the College with practical unanimity. The
report of the Faculty of the Graduate Department is unanimous,
and the report from the Faculty of the College
comes to you with only one dissenting vote. The fundamental
purpose in these proposed modifications is to increase the
power, to elevate the standards, and to place on a surer
pedagogic basis all instruction given at the University of
Virginia. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
