 | Board of Visitors minutes July 2, 1895 |  |
July 2d 1895.
At a meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University
of Virginia held in purance of adjournment, on this 2nd of
July 1895, (adjourned from June 11th 1895.)
Present. The Rector and seven of the Visitors, viz,
Messrs McCabe, Watts, R. W. Martin, Patteson, McCormick, T.
S. Martin and A. C. Gordon.
The Committee on Grounds and Buildings submitted its report
which is in the following words and figures, to wit=
To the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia.
The Committee on Grounds and Buildings respectfully report
as follows:
1. That the recommendation of the Faculty that they be authorized
to make and enforce such regulations as will make it possible
for the Chairman and Proctor to carry out systematically
the collection of the accounts of students for board, be approved.
2. That in view of the present financial condition of the
University, it is in the opinion of the Committee, inexpedient
to undertake the erection of new dormitories; and the
Committee suggests that further consideration of this matter
be deferred until the final adjudication by the courts of the
Fayerweather case.
3. That the Committee recommend the appropriation of Six
thousand dollars out of the Fayerweather fund to cover the expense
of changing the location of the present roadway along
East Range, and for paving East and West ranges, and the approaches
therefrom to the Lawn.
4. That the Committee recommend the appropriation of $500.00
out of the Fayerweather fund for the enlargement of the Mess
Kitchen on Carr's Hill.
5. That the Committee recommend that a new light be placed
at the alley running from Col Peter's residence to West Range.
6. That Mrs Gunther's application to sublet "Hotel F" has
been withdrawn; and that she has given notice that she does
not want said Hotel after the expiration of the present year.
7. That the Committee recommends the appropriation of $150.00
out of the Fayerweather fund for making the desired changes
in the room adjoining the Chemical Laboratory.
which report was read and considered and on motion the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved that the Report of the Committee on Grounds and
Buildings this day submitted, be approved and adopted and
spread upon the minutes of this days proceedings. The appropriations
recommended by said report are hereby made, to be
used and expended under the direction of the Supt of Grounds
and Buildings.
Resolved, that the Committee to whom was referred the
resolution to furnish plans, specifications etc. for the establishment
of a hospital, be granted further time, and that
$200.00 be appropriated to pay the necessary expenses incident
to the work of the committee.
The Committee on the Conduct of Schools etc submitted its
report which is in the following words and figures, to wit:
The Committee on "Conduct of Schools & Course of
Instruction" in the University of Virginia, to which was referred
so much of the Faculty report as relates to modifications
in the requirements for the B. A. degree, & the substitution
of a general elective degree of "Bachelor of Science"
in place of the present degrees of "Civil Engineer", "Mining
Engineer" & "Mechanical Engineer" in the Engineering Depart-
ment, begs leave to report as follows:
1st as to a modification of the requirements for for the B. A.
degree.
The wisdom of the Visitors in remodelling the scheme of
the old Academic degrees has been amply vindicated by results.
twenty B. A.s, a thing that ten years ago would have been
deemed impossible, so unwilling were students, under any of
the former schemes, to offer for a degree, which was virtually
a public advertisement of their defeat in obtaining the higher
(M. A.) degree.
The Visitors, by radically changing the whole degree
system, have offered students a broad, strong, & reputable
degree, & the results prove how quickly they have availed
themselves of the opportunity to compete for the coveted
reward of sound academic work.
That from time to time modifications would have to be
made in respect to details,-modifications that would inevitably
suggest themselves in the practical working out of the
scheme-the Visitors saw at the outset & so expressed themselves.
But it may be said, without fear of successful contradiction,
that the scheme in its essential aim & scope, has
proved a decided success.
To the Faculty, to whom the scheme, as it now stands,
was referred for suggestions recommend the following modifications:
of the existing requirements:
"The degree of Bachelor of Arts will be conferred upon
a student, who has been graduated in nine B. A. Courses, so
selected from the following list that at least one is taken
from each of the seven groups=
A. Latin & Greek.
B. German, French, English Language.
C. Eng. Lit., History, Pol. Economy.
D. Logic & Psychology, Ethics & Hist. of Philosophy.
E. Mathematics, Mechanics, Astronomy.
F. Physics, Chemistry.
G. Biology, Geology."
To the minds of your Committee—& we have given the matter
our best thought—this scheme has its strong & weak points.
Under the existing requirements, there are but six groups of
study, & Chemistry, Physics, Geology & Biology are embraced
under one group (F), that of "Natural Science".
But these varied subjects, while of equal importance, are
unlike in scientific method & educational value & the grouping
is consequently open to the criticism that it is irrational.
By simply dividing the present group (F.) into two groups, (F.)
Physics & Chemistry & (G) Biology & Geology, all criticism is
silenced.
The recommendation of the Faculty that nine B. A. Courses
for these seven groups be required for the B. A. degree instead
of eight courses for the existing six groups, also commends itself
to your Committee. The weak points in the scheme seem to
your Committee to be as follows=
1. Spanish & Italian are entirely omitted from the scheme, &
it is surely the business of a great University not only to
provide in those languages, but to assign them some place in
an elective scheme of degrees.
2. Under the scheme submitted by the Faculty, a student electing
the "English Language" from group B, might graduate B. A.
& proceed M. A. without the slightest knowledge of or instruc-
tion in any modern foreign language.
3. The basis of the whole scheme is that it offers wide election,
& yet, under group D, the subjects taught in the "School
of Moral Philosophy" alone are absolutely required. Furthermore,
if a student were to elect both "Logic & Psychology", &
"Ethics & the History of Philosophy" in group D. & wished to
proceed M. A., electing "Moral Philosophy" as one of his M. A.
courses, no further instruction is provided in that "School".
4. "Political Economy" is grouped illogically with "English
Literature". It is really a philosophical subject & is treated
by many authors as a branch of applied Ethics.
In view of these objections, your Committee submit for
your favorable consideration the following modified scheme:
A. Latin, Greek.
B. (1) French, (2) German, (3) Spanish and Italian.
C. English Language, English Literature, History.
D. Logic & Psychology, Ethics & Hist. of Philosophy, Political
Economy.E. Mathematics, Mechanics, Astronomy.
F. Physics, Chemistry.
G. Biology, Geology.
Each student to elect nine subjects, at least one from
each group. This seems to your Committee to present a scheme
which is (1) evenly balanced, (2) rationally grouped, & (3)
sufficiently broadened.
The recommendation of the Faculty that the present degrees
of "Civil Engineer", "Mining Engineer", & "Mechanical Engineer"
be abolished & the general elective degree of "Bachelor of Science
in the Engineering Dept" be substituted for it, is endorsed
the Mass. Inst. of Technology & the other great Engineering
schools are falling into line.
The requirements for this general elective degree, as
printed on p. 8 of the last "Faculty report" (June 1st 189)
are also recommended to be ordered by the Board.
The report was read and considered and on motion the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that the report of the Committee on "Conduct of
Schools & Course of Instruction", to which it was referred so
much of the "Faculty's Report" as relates to modification in the
requirements for the B. A. degree & the substitution of a general
elective degree of "Bachelor of Science" in the place of
the present degree of "Civil Engineer", "Mining Engineer" &
"Mechanical Engineer, in the Engineering Department be received
& the recommendations made by said Committee be adopted & said
report spread upon the minutes of this day's proceedings.
Resolved, that $60.00 be appropriated for the clerical
work necessary to complete the catalogue from 1884-1894.
Resolved that the Visitors regret that the want of means
prevent them from granting the request of Mr Baker, secretary
of the Faculty for an increase in his salary.
Resolved that scarcity of means and a doubt of their power
to do so compel the Visitors to decline to purchase Dr Schele's
book of photographs; and that they do not deem it expedient to
1875, and prepare a new addition for the printer. This was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
Mr McCabe offered the following resolution.
Resolved that an appropriation of $50.00 per annum for
the period of 3 years be & is hereby granted towards the support
of the "American School of Archeology" proposed to be
established at Rome.
Mr McCormick offered the following as a substitute:
Resolved, that the Visitors feel obliged because of the
want of means to decline to make an appropriation to have the
University represented at the American School at Rome for study
of Archeology, Art, Philology, Literature & History, but Profr
Peters' action in allowing the School of Latin to be represented
free of cost is approved.
A vote was had upon the substitute and it was adopted by
a vote of 6 for to 2 against it.
Resolved that the request of Mr Lambeth, Director of the
Gymnasium, for an increase of his salary to $1500.00 be refused,
but in consideration of his fitness for the place his salary is
increased to $1250.00.
Resolved, that the communication of Mr Leander McCormick
of Chicago in reference to the Observatory be referred to a
special Committee to be composed of the Rector, Hon. Marshall
McCormick and Mr McCabe, who shall correspond with Mr McCormick
and make report to the Board.
On motion the subject of reorganizing the School of Modern
Languages came up for consideration, and Profr James M. Garnett
and be heard upon the question, upon invitation he came and a
hearing was accorded him.
After discussion and consideration, Mr McCormick offered
the following preamble and resolutions:
It is not deemed expedient at this time to consolidate
the Chair of English with that of Modern Languages, but in view
of the small attendance on the school, the Visitors feel constrained
to reduce the salary of the Professor thereof from
$3300.00 to $2300.00.
In the judgment of the Visitors the School of Modern Languages
can be most efficiently conducted by a division of it
into two departments and the election of two professors, one to
have charge of the Department of the Romance Languages and literatures
and the other of the department of the Germanic Lan-
guages and literatures=
Therefore it is resolved,
1. That the School of English remain as at present, but the
salary of the Profr thereof is reduced to $2000.00 and the use
of the house now used by him.
2. That the School of Modern Languages be divided into two
Departments as above indicated.
3. That Professor Jas A. Harrison of Washington & Lee University
be elected one of the Professors in the School of Modern
Languages to have charge of the Romance Languages and Literatures at a salary of $3300.00 or $3000.00
and $300.00 commutation of rent, and that Profr W. H. Perkinbe
elected the other Profr in the said School of Modern Languages
to have charge of the Department of the Germanic Languages
being allowed to him therefor at present.
4. So far as these resolutions conflict with the resolution of
June 11th 1895 the latter is reconsidered and this resolution
is adopted in lieu thereof.
Mr A. C. Gordon offered the following as a substitute for
Mr McCormick's resolution.
Resolved that the resolution of June 11th with reference
to the School of Modern Languages and English stand as the sense
of this Board; that the Chair of English be abolished as an independent
chair, that the School of Modern Languages be subdivided
into the Teutonic and Romance Schools; that the subject
of English be attached to the School of the Teutonic Languages
and that the School of Modern Languages be under the general
charge of the Professor of Modern Languages, and that the Schools
of the Teutonic and Romance Languages be taught under the supervision
of the Professor of Modern Languages, by Associate Professors
of the Teutonic and Romance Languages respectively.
After a discussion it was moved and ordered that a vote
be taken on the substitute by a call of the roll, which was
done and resulted in the defeat of the substitute by a tie vote,
as follows:
For. The Rector & Messrs McCabe, Watts & A. C. Gordon, 4
Against. Messrs McCormick, Dr Martin, Patteson and T. S. Martin.
4
On motion a vote was then ordered on the original resolution
by a call of the roll, which was had with the defeat of
the same by a tie vote as follows:
For- Messrs McCormick, Patteson, T. S. Martin & Dr Martin-4
Against- The Rector, McCabe, Watts & A. C. Gordon - 4
Mr McCormick offered the following resolution.
Resolved, that it is inexpedient at this time to consolidate
the School of English with that of Modern Languages,
but in view of the small attendance on the School of English,
the Visitors feel constrained to reduce the salary of the Professor
of English from the sum of $3300 to the sum of $2300.
So far as this resolution is in conflict with the resolution
adopted on this subject on June 11th, the latter is reconsidered
and this resolution is adopted now as a substitute for
so much of the said resolution of June 11th as conflicts with
this.
This resolution was seconded, and a vote was asked for
and ordered by ayes and nays and resulted as follows. ayes,
McCormick, Dr. Martin, T. S. Martin, Patteson, and A. C. Gordon.
5.
Noes. The Rector, Watts and McCabe 3.
The resolution was adopted by a vote of five to three.

vote.
Mr. A. C. Gordon offered the following resolution.
Resolved. That W. H. Perkinson be elected Professor of
the Teutonic Languages, at a salary of $2300, exclusive of a
house, or commutation therefor.
Which meeting with a second, the resolution was adopted

it as follows.
Ayes. Watts, Dr. Martin, T. S. Martin, McCormick, Patteson,
McCabe and A. C. Gordon. 7.
Noes: The Rector. 1.
The Rector desired to have it entered on the record that

and on a vote taken upon the resolution a second time, it was
adopted by a vote of five to three, as follows.
Ayes: The Rector, McCabe, Patteson, Dr. Martin, and A. C. Gordon.
5.
Noes. Watts, McCormick and T. S. Martin. 3.
Resolved. That the conduct of the School of English is
not satisfactory to the Board of Visitors; and that unless

Mrs. L. L. Gunther having notified the Visitors that she
does not wish to retain the hotel occupied by her after the
expiration of the present year, and asking the surrender of

to the annual meeting in 1897 of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science be referred to the Faculty for
such recommendation as they may make to the Executive Committee,
who shall then act upon the proposition therein suggested.
Mrs. W. B. Harris having applied for the hotel now rented
by Mrs. Gunther and shortly to be vacated by her, the Proctor
is directed to let said hotel to Mrs. Harris upon the same

It is ordered that a copy of this resolution be sent to his
family.
The Finance Committee submitted its report which was
read and considered, and on motion it was resolved that it
be approved and adopted and the appropriations therein recommended
are made.
Said report is in the following words and figures:
Report of the Finance Committee.
The Committee on Finance respectfully reports
that the Proctor's Annual Report and the settlement made by
the Commissioner of Accounts shows a balance in the Proctor's
hands, for the fiscal year ending June 15, 1895, of $889.95.
By reference to the last annual Report of this Committee
it will be seen that there was an apparent deficit in revenues
over appropriations of $2,919.75, but this was based upon a
very much lighter attendance of students than the number that
were actually in attendance, and whilst there is from the
Proctor's report an apparent deficit, yet an examination of
his report shows that this deficit is not likely to materialize.
The income of the University for the ensuing year, including
Bequest, and the income from students' fees, estimated upon a
basis of Five hundred and ten students, amounts to the sum of
One hundred and Eighteen Thousand, Five hundred and thirty-six
dollars, (118,536.00). Adding to the sum last named the balance
of $889.95 in the hands of the Proctor from last year we
have the sum of $119,425.95, as the available fund for the ensuing
year. The sources of said sum will appear from the reports
of the Proctor and the Faculty taken together.

| (1) | To secure a Catalogue for the Library for the session 1895-6 |
$ 500.00 |
| (2) | For painting the woodwork of the buildings | 2,000.00 |
| (3) | In addition to the appropriation of $3,00.00 for electric wiring the sum of . . . |
600.00 |
| Memo. These last three appropriations are to be paid out of the fund for repairs and improvements, but it is to be reimbursed from the revenues or income for 1895-6, if such revenues are sufficient for that purpose, but if they should prove insufficient, then they are to be paid out of the Fayerweather fund, in so far only as the income of 1895-6 may be insufficient to pay them. |
||
| (4) | For current expenses of Prof. Kent's school. | 50.00 |
Appendix.
In addition to the Special Appropriations hereinbefore
mentioned, the following were made by the Visitors at a meeting
held July 2, 1895.
| (1) | For clerical work to complete catalogue from 1884-1894. |
60.00 |
| (2) | For expenses of committee to secure plans for a hospital |
200.00 |
| (3) | Repairing addition to Chem. Laboratory | 150.00 |
| (4) | .For paving East & West Ranges and approaches to both from the Lawn and for changing the East Range Road. |
5,000.00 |
| (5) | .For addition to Kitchen on Carr's Hill | 500.00 |
Memorandum. The last two sums are appropriated out of the
Fayerweather fund and are not therefore brought into the general
summary.
| Estimated income, including balance from last year. |
118,425.95 | |
| Salaries of corps of Instructors. | 78 100.00 | |
| Salaries of Officers | 5 150.00 | |
| Scholarships and Fellowships | 1 080.00 | |
| Wages of employees | 4 250.00 | |
| Working expenses. | 11,410.00 | |
| General expenses. | 17,720.00 | |
| Special appropriations | 3,560.00 | |
| Apparent Deficit | $2 844.05 | |
Of the foregoing special appropriations the sum of $3100.
are directed to be paid out of the income for 1895-6, but if
not sufficient the said sum is to be paid out of the Fayerweather
fund. This will wipe out the apparent deficit. We
have no reason to doubt that this apparent deficit will be
met by an increase in the attendance of students over the number
must be based upon mere estimates and not upon actually accomplished
fact. It is most probable that the special appropriations
will be met by the regular income and the Fayerweather
fund will not likely be called on. The Executive Committee
is respectfully asked to make no appropriations other
than these herein recommended unless unavoidable.
