MR. BRYAN ELECTED RECTOR
Following a brief period of balloting, the Board announced through its temporary Chairman,
Mr. Hartfield, that Mr. Albert Vickers Bryan had been elected Rector of the University of Virginia,
to succeed Mr. Frank Talbott, Jr., for the remainder of the four-year term ending on 28
February 1962.
President Shannon entered the room at this point. Chancellor Simpson and Bursar Woodward
were present throughout the discussion of Mary Washington College matters.
LETTER FROM MR. FRANK TALBOTT, JR.
The Rector reported that the Secretary had received a letter from the former Rector, Frank
Talbott, Jr., dated 29 March 1960, and asked the Secretary to read the letter to the Board. At
the conclusion of the reading, the Secretary was instructed to include the letter in the permanent
minutes of the Board. The letter is as follows
I know that I did not have the right words to tell you of my gratitude for your
kindness which was heaped up in such abundant measure at our last meeting on February
20. I did not deserve what was said and done but knowledge of this does not diminish
in the least the pleasure which the occasion gave to Margaret and me. The handsome
tray with its engraving is my proudest possession.
I owe the University for a great part of the pleasure which I have been able to
get out of life (which is no little) and for whatever I have been able to develop in
the way of professional competence, so I came on the Board in 1949 hoping that I might
be able, by working hard, to pay back at least some of this debt. Now, at the end of
my service on the Board, the irony of it is that I feel myself in greater debt than
before. The reason is that my life has been made richer by my association with all
of you. Never before have I had the experience of working with a group of so much
ability, character, and wit, and I know I never will again.
I hope not to lose touch with you, but even If I should, the memories of the past
eleven years will still be my happiest.
