The announcement that you had declined the offer of
the Chancellorship of the University of Georgia, because
of a resolve to devote your future to the service of
the University of Virginia, came to her alumni as a
message of high courage and imperishable faith. The
twenty-one years during which you have directed the
policies and energized the activities of our Alma Mater
have been years of stirring achievement. Her gain in
endowments, in student attendance, in academic authority,
in scientific equipment, in teaching power, in public
usefulness and in popular esteem have been magnificent

and in large measure your personal work. They have
won for you the sympathy, support, the admiration,
the confidence and the loyalty of all our alumni. Yet
their allegiance has still a deeper root. You came
to this University in a momentous hour. You were our
first president and the great mass of our then graduates
knew the virtues of the older regime and were unconcious
of the ineradicable infirmities which lay
hidden beneath them. In a few loyal and devoted spirits
a certain fear awoke for the noble tradition of the
school, for its high standards, for its law of liberty
both in learning and in teaching, for the gracious fraternity
of intramural life. It has been your high
mission to dispel such fears, to lift all that was worthy
in the spirit and tradition of the University of
Virginia to a higher plane of authority and power, and
by the depth of your understanding and the comprehension
of your sympathy to beget for her a future which
shall be the rich inheritor of her past. In you
she has found both a bond of peace and the righteousness
of her academic life.

That under your continued guidance she will go
forward in the noble faith of her father and founder
is our confidence and our trust. May the years of your
government be long and happy, crowned with usefulness
and distinction, sweetened by the affection of your
faculty and your students, alumni and of all Virginians.
