University, Va.
On behalf of the donors, I have the privilege of
presenting to the Rector and Visitors a portrait of the first
President of the University of Virginia. It is the work of
Eugene Speicher, of New York, a noted artist and portrait painter.
The portrait is the joint gift of many alumni, members of the
faculty, and other friends of the President and of the University.
This presentation is the fulfillment of a deep and
long felt desire that the University of Virginia should own, as
one of its cherished possession, a worthy portrait of its
distinguished President.
