University of Virginia from 1896 until his death. Thomas Walker Page (18661937)
was Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia from 1906
to 1911, and was a member of the United States Tariff Commission from 1918
until his death. These two were brothers. There are sketches of each on

Alumni News, vol. 1, no. 1, 19 March 1913, pp. 2, 3, 5. From memoranda
by Frederick Page supplied by Miss Anne P. Brydon it is indicated that his
farming was first at Millwood near Winchester. Later he returned to Keswick.

566. Bruce, vol. 4, pp. 56, 322; Faculty Minutes, 5 October 1903. The
tribute by the Faculty was printed in Alumni Bulletin, new series, vol. 3,
no. 4, October 1903, p. 234.

567. See letter from Prof. John W. Wayland, 28 May 1951, filed with these
notes," ... that estimable and cultured old gentleman (and I mentally underline
gentleman), Frederick W. Page. In spite of his gray hair he had a keen
eye and a quick step; was always obliging and courteous. I do not think
he ever had any intimation of modern library science or methods, but he
seemed to know just where each and every book was and could get it for you
in a jiffy."

568. The feeling of discouragement may well have been accentuated by the
actions of the Board of Visitors with regard to his salary. It had been
placed at $800 when Page was reappointed Librarian in 1891. By Visitors'
Minutes, 16 June 1897, it was raised to $1,000. By Visitors' Minutes, 16
June 1898, it was reduced to $800. By Visitors' Minutes, 13 October 1898,
a request for restoration to $1,000 was declined. By Visitors' Minutes,
10 October 1899, a second request for restoration was declined.

573. The Frederick W. Page Fund of $500 was established by Miss Mildred N.
Page during the session of 1946-1947. To that fund will be added the value
of the residence on Chancellor Street after the death of Miss Mildred Page.
The bequest of the residence was from Frederick Page's widow, Mrs. Lucy
W. Page (who died 13 October 1938), and his daughter, Miss Mildred Page.
