March 16, 1908.
President of the University of Virginia.
As you know from my reports to you of earlier date,
I have for some time felt the coming on of age, and the inevitable
necessity for laying down the responsibility of my
pleasant duties in the service of the University.
I am sorry to have now to put into your hands, my formal
resignation, and to request that you transmit it to the
Board of Visitors.
This step seems to make it unnecessary, and in some
measure improper, that I should report in detail as to the
needs of my Chair, as called for by your circular letter of
the 9th inst.
Professor of Chemistry,
University of Virginia.
I beg to acknowledge with sincere regret your communication
of March 16th, putting into my hands, for transmission
to the Visitors, your resignation of the Professorship of
Chemistry in the University of Virginia. I shall present to
the Visitors, at their approaching meeting, your formal letter
of resignation, with the request that they take such action
as they may deem fit and proper.
To have served an institution of learning for thirty-eight
years with fidelity and devotion is a clear title to
as to give to your department fame and prestige throughout the
country, is an added claim to respect and appreciation. To
have won, through the unfailing exercise of unbending integrity,
high thinking, and sincere acting, the affection and reverence
of those who know the institution, is the largest achievement
possible to a teacher of youth. You have rendered all of these
high services to the University of Virginia, as thousands of
men in and out of its walls will attest. Your retirement will
bring to your colleagues, and to the friends of the University
everywhere, profound regret, mingled with the hope that many
years remain to you of notable, scientific service. I shall
deem it a privilege to seek your counsel in the reorganization
of the work in Chemistry, made necessary by your resignation.
I beg you will accept assurances of my respect and esteem.
President.
March 16, 1908.
Rector and Visitors of the
University of Virginia.
It is with great regret that I feel compelled, by the
pressure of age, and resulting loss of health and strength,
to give up work in the service of the University of Virginia
This service has been one of happiness on my part for
many years, but the time has come when it must end.
I therefore respectfully ask you to accept my resignation
as Professor of Chemistry, to take effect at the close
of the present session on the 17th of June.
I preserve a most grateful remembrance of the uniform
kindness and consideration which I have always received from
the governing body of the University.
Your obedient servant,
The resignation of John W. Mallet, Ph.D., M.D., LL. D.,
F.R.S., as Professor of Chemistry in the University having been
tendered and accepted to take effect at the close of this session,
a Committee was appointed to draft a resolution expressive
of the regret of the Visitors at Dr. Mallet's retirement
from the Faculty, who reported the following minute, which was
adopted:
The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia have
learned with sincere regret that Dr. John W. Mallet, who for a
long period of years has adorned with his accomplishments and
talents the Chair of Chemistry in this University, will sever
his connection with its teaching Faculty at the close of the
current session.
The Rector and Visitors desire to record on their minutes,
for a memorial to those who shall succeed them, their profound
and lasting appreciation of the value and worth of such lofty
and unselfish devotion to duty, noble integrity of life,
and beneficent and far-reaching achievement, as are exemplified
and illustrated in the association of Dr. Mallet
with the University.
They tender to him, with sentiments of personal admiration
and esteem, and with the verdict of contemporary science
"Well done, good and faithful servant," their heartfelt wishes
for a long continued and happy life of yet uninterrupted work
and still larger achievement in his honorable retirement from
the arduous and wearing cares of a teacher of youth.
The resignation of Dr. Charles H. Bunting as Professor
of Pathology in the University of Virginia, was presented to
the Board through the following letter to President Alderman,-
Pathological Laboratory.
University of Virginia.
May I ask you to tender to the Rector and Board of Visitors
of the University, my resignation as Professor of Pathology,
to take effect September 15th, 1908, and also convey
to them my regret at being "compelled" by the insistence of
the call to a similar chair in my alma mater, the University
of Wisconsin, to leave the Medical school at this period in
its development.
On motion it was resolved that the resignation of Dr.
Bunting be accepted by the Board, and that the President be
authorized to convey their regrets to Dr. Bunting.

duties September 15th, 1908.

Degree, now embracing two years, be extended from and after

three years.
Resolved That the main features of the course, thus extended,
should follow in general outline the scheme set forth
by the Faculty and Dean of the Law Department in the report
to the President recently made by the Dean of that Department,
the details, however, and especially those upon which the members
of the faculty are not agreed, to await the return of
Professor Lile and the judgment of the Committee appointed by

completed in detail, be ready for publication in the next issue
of the University catalogue.
