The Board met according to adjournment.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Chairman, from
time to time, to lay before the Faculty all such information
as, in his opinion, the interests of the University may require,
and promptly to bring to their attention all such
offences against the laws as he may deem proper for their
animadversion; especially all such as he may think deserving
major punishments. In the performance of this duty the Chairman
will be amenable to the Visitors alone for the exercise
of a sound discretion.
The Faculty may, at pleasure call on the Chairman for
information touching any subject proper for their deliberations,
and it will be his duty to communicate it if in his
power, or to assign to them the reasons which induce him to
think that the interests of the University require that it
should be withheld;- but the Faculty can in no case proceed
to punish or to try an offence, not brought before them by
the Chairman.
It is the duty of the Professors, and demonstrator,
promptly to communicate to the Chairman all offences against
the Enactments, which come to their knowledge, and to interpose
to prevent any such offences in their presence. Such
interposition, however, can never require or justify the
language of passion, nor, beyond the limit of the lecture
and parental admonition.
Any student resisting or resenting such interposition,
his advisors, aiders and abettors shall be deemed insubordinate,
and will be liable to any of the minor or major
punishments according to the degree of his offence.

The following report was made to the president and Directors
of the Literary Fund.
Report.
In obedience to the law requiring the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia to make an annual report to the
President and Directors of the Literary Fund to be laid before
the Legislature at their next succeeding meeting, embracing
a full account of the disbursements, the Funds on hand, and a
general statement of the condition of the said University,
the Rector and Visitors make the following report.
In conformity to the provisions of the Act of the General
Assembly, establishing the University of Virginia, which requires
of the Rector and Visitors that they should annually
visit the Institution, for the purpose of enquiring into the
proceedings and practices thereat, & of examining into the progress
of the Students, they held a stated annual meeting commencing
on the 14th of July and terminating on the 22d of that
month, and embracing in their session the period of the public
Summer examination.
During this time the Board were occupied in inspecting
the institution, occasionally attending the examination of
the Classes, and in discharging the other duties devolved upon
them by the Legislature. As the result of inquiries instituted
by them into the state and condition of the University,
and the progress of the Students, they are gratified in being
Institution have been such as to meet the continued approbation
of the Board. Where they appeared to be defective such
remedies have been applied as were deemed most suitable and
adequate. The general habits and proficiency of the young
man who resort hither for instruction, bear ample testimony
to the zeal and ability of the professors, to their own devotion
and ardor in the pursuits of science, and to the fidelity
and judgment with which the laws and regulations enacted
for the government of the University have been enforced.
The Board have been gratified to find a proof of the
increased assiduity and success of the students in the circumstance
of a much greater number having been received as
graduates in the several schools, than at any former session.
The judicial office conferred on Professor Lomax has
withdrawn him from the chair of Law in this Institution. In
referring to the event the Board cannot satisfy their feelings
without bearing testimony to the high legal attainments,
the devotion to his duties and the other attractive merits
by which he was characterised.
On the invitation of the Board Mr. John A. G. Davis
consented to fill the vacated chair for the term of twelve
months; and from the opportunities afforded the members of
estimating his fine talents, his legal acquirements, and his
appropriate habits, a just confidence is entertained that
The Board have deemed it expedient to provide for the
employment of a tutor in the School of Modern Languages with
a salary of five hundred dollars per annum, and one third of
the fees paid in that School. To provide this remuneration
it has been necessary to make a corresponding reduction in
the emoluments of the Professor, in the discharge of the duties
of whose chair he has been appointed to assist. The appointment
thus provided for, is to be held during the pleasure of
the Visitors. The Tutor is required to conform to all the
laws of the Institution, and to reside within the precincts,
where convenient accommodations are to be assigned himself
and Family within the Dormitories or Hotels and grounds of
the University.
Some changes has been also made in the Schools of Moral
Philosophy and Antient languages. Instruction in Rhetoric &
Belles Lettres, heretofore required to be given in the School
of Antient languages has been transferred to that of Moral
Philosophy, while, in the latter, the Fee of fifteen dollars
for attending the class of political Economy, has been abolished,
and the Professor is entitled to receive a full fee
from every student attending his school, in which political
Economy is included.
Provision has been made enabling those who may be
School of Medicine, to do so on the payment of a fee of
fifteen dollars.
The Board have the satisfaction to state that, notwithstanding
the continued pressure of pecuniary difficulties
experienced in the country, the number of students
attending the various schools of the University, during the
recent session, has suffered no diminution, but has rather
increased when compared with the preceeding one, having been,
in that which has just terminated, one hundred and thirty
three: The state of the Schools being as follows:
| Antient languages | 52 | Medicine | 32 |
| Modern languages | 39 | Anatomy | 34 |
| Mathematics | 60 | Mor: Philosophy | 16 |
| Natural Philosophy | 47 | Law | 23 |
| Chemistry & Mat: Med: | 42 | ||
The accounts of the receipts, disbursements, and
Funds on hand, as rendered by the Bursar and Proctor, are
given with this report, as required by Law.
Rector.
The following report to the president and Directors
of the literary Fund, omitted to be inserted in its proper
place, was made at the July Session of the Board of Visitors,
1829.
In obedience to the law requiring the Rector and Visitors
of the University of Virginia to make a report annually to
the President and Directors of the Literary Fund (to be laid
before the Legislature at their next succeeding meeting) embracing
a full account of the disbursements, the Funds on
hand, and a general statement of the condition of the University,
the Rector and Visitors make the following report.
REPORT
Conformably to adjournment at their regular meeting in
July 1828, a special session of the Board of Visitors was
held at the University in October following. At this meeting
much ordinary business was transacted, but nothing was
done of a character rendering its communication necessary.
On the 14 of July last, a board of Visitors convened at the
University, for the purpose of performing the annual visitation
thereof, required by law, and remained in Session until
the 21st of that month.
The term for which the Professors first obtained,
had been engaged, being about to expire, among the earliest
acts of the Board, was the continuance of them, for an indefinite
period, on the same salary they have heretofore
their zeal for the prosperity of the Institution, leaving
nothing to be hoped for from a change no wish was entertained
of looking elsewhere for persons to fill the chairs
the duties of which they had so satisfactorily discharged.
The Board also appointed Doctor Gessner Harrison, of this
state, Professor of Antient languages. This gentleman had
graduated under the tuition of Mr. Long, the former incumbent
of that chair, and had, from the time of Mr. Long's
resignation, given instruction in that school, under a temporary
appointment by this Board, to their entire satisfaction.
It was also deemed advisable to raise the fee of
the Demonstrator of Anatomy and Surgery from fifteen dollars
to that allowed the professors, and to constitute him
one of the Faculty: a distinction due to his merit and by
which his usefullness will be extended. To strengthen the
police, it was determined to appoint an assistant proctor,
on a moderate salary, to be paid out of that before allowed
to the Proctor. The nature of the duties of that officer,
and the importance of their complete discharge, rendered
some aid indispensable.
It is with great pleasure and confidence that the
Board are enabled to repeat the favorable opinion expressed
in their last report, in relation to the deportment and
progress of the students. The examinations and other
they were otherwise enabled to acquire, all concurred
to produce the gratifying assurance, that whilst
here every facility is offered for the acquisition of knowledge,
and every check opposed to idleness, extravagance,
and dissipation, the youth who resorted hither, have generally
and largely availed themselves of these advantages,
and have been alike distinguished for correctness of conduct,
and proficiency in their studies. Here, too, whilst
science is taught in its highest state, the expense necessary
to its attainment scarcely exceeds that of elementary
instruction in respectable schools: and by the vigilance
of the Faculty in enforcing the laws enacted for the purpose
of preventing wasteful expenditure, added to the good
disposition of the students, the actual have, generally,
as the Board have reason to beleive, not much exceeded the
necessary expenses. With the concurrence of those whose
sons and wards are sent hither, a further retrenchment may
be anticipated: and as the progress of the students is
generally in an inverse ratio of their expenditures, more
important objects than the mere saving of money will be
affected by this cooperation, & higher motives exist to
induce it.
The number of students who matriculated during the
session was one hundred and twenty, the state of the
| In the school of Antient languages | 39 |
| Modern languages | 26 |
| Mathematicks | 46 |
| Natural Philosophy | 33 |
| Chemistry & Mat: Med: | 38 |
| Anatomy & Surgery | 27 |
| Med: & Med: Jurisprudence | 30 |
| Moral Philosophy & Pol: Economy | 23 |
| Law | 27 |
A larger unmber of students obtained degrees this than
had the previous session; there being in the school of
antient languages, three; in that of Chemistry, one; in
that of Medicine four; in that of Moral Philosophy two; in
that of Political Economy one; and in that of law, two
graduates. In conferring degrees, it has been and will continue
to be, the object of the Authorities of the Institution,
to make them the evidence and the reward of merit
and attainment, rather than the consequence of having gone
thro' any prescribed course of study. Hence, tho' fewer
may obtain them, the greater distinction will be conferred
on those who do, whilst the character of the Institution
will not be exposed to the hazard which would attend the
adoption of any other system.
The University having been visited during the preceeding
winter by an alarming fever, which attacked many
students and others resident within its precincts, the
attention of the Board was of course directed to an enquiry
as to its probable cause. After the most attentive
any, to which, with the slightest plausibility it might be
attributed. The part of the state in which the University
is situated, is known to be peculiarly healthy; and in the
locality of the University and the construction of it's
buildings, there is certainly nothing calculated to generate
disease, so far as experience and reason enable them to
judge. On the whole they could not but conclude, that it
was one of those attacks to which situations of the most
established salubrity are sometimes subject, without apparent
or discoverable cause. In this view, however much the
recent calamity is to be deplored, it can afford no reasonable
ground of apprehension as to the future. The Board
intentionally pass over as undeserving particular consideration
so far as respects this conclusion, the cases of
measles which occurred at the University during the Summer
of 1828, as that disease was not confined to the University,
but prevailed thro-out Albemarle and the adjacent
counties; in some places in a more mortal degree; and all
situations being alike exposed to it.
The accounts of the receipts, disbursement, and funds
on hand, up to the 10th July 1829 as rendered by the Bursar
& Proctor, are given with this report, agreeably to
the requisition of the law.
