At a regular meeting of the Visitors of the Central College on
11th. May 1818, at which Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John H. Cocke,
& Joseph C. Cabell, were present, it was agreed, that it being uncertain
whether Thomas Cooper would accept the Professorship of Chemistry, in
the event of his not doing so, it would be expedient to procure a Professor
of Mathematicks. It was also agreed to allow the Proctor of the
College the sum of two hundred dollars for the present year.
