University of Virginia Library

— III. —

Appointment of Professor:

1. The Professor of Biblical History and Literature shall
be appointed as are all other professors of the University,
but recommendations from the Trustees of this Fund will be
cordially considered.

Rank

2. The Professor of Biblical History and Literature shall
be either a full professor or an associate professor, never
of lower rank.

Assistants:

3. If the number of students electing the course or courses
shall demand it, and the income of the Chair shall permit
it, such tutors, instructors, or adjunct professors as may be
needed shall be appointed by the University, and paid out of
the income of the Chair.

Qualifications:

4. In selecting and appointing the professor, not only
his scholastic fitness must be considered, but also his Christian
character. He must be not only a scholar but a distinctly
religions man, interested in men as well as in books, and able
by his manly life to commend to students the teaching of the
Book from which he instructs them.

Duties

5. The Professor shall do the work of the Chair as do the
other professors of the University. In addition, he shall cooperate
with the Y. M. C. A., and other religious agencies at
the University, deliver such open-lectures on the Bible, and
conduct such volunteer Bible classes as time and occasion may
permit, and endeavor to make himself a positive religious factor
in the religious life of the University. It is also the
wish of the Founders of the Chair that the professor make his
influence felt beyond the University by improving such opportunities
as may offer to address churches, schools, Y. M. C. A.
etc., so far as his regular duties at the University may allow.

In appointing any man to the Chair of Biblical History
and Literature, his attention shall be especially called to
this and the preceding article. (III., 4 & 5.)
