Gentlemen The time is approaching when you
are To appoint some one 10 fill the Char Of Maihf-
mates in the University. From your advertisement
and from your known lberaity of views, presume
Won will cast an eye the whole country, and Sc
Iect the person most suited for the station without
gard circumstances or locality. With this expecla
tion permit to call TO your attention the claims and
merits of iIandon g. Garland, President Of Randolph
Macon College, and Professor Of Mathematics and
Astronomy in that Institution.
The ability and success with which lie has conducted
the affairs Of that College, call forth the admiration OF
all who know il. His urhunty of nanner-his firm.
in discipline, accompanied with the most affection.
ate and brotery disposition towards his pupils have
produced the most extraordinary influence in MAX
ING the young men under his charge, models OF polite
ness respectful behaviour and studious industry. MIR.
Garlands abilities Mathematician and Astronomer
are we'll known. Though quite n yoong man, his at
ainments in those abstruse Sciences surpassed by
none. He possesses remarkable genius for original
investigation, is abundanty shown by the writings
he has already published He has a course Of Mathe
mates in the process Of publication, which those
Alathemalicans who have seen it, have pronounced
the best in the language. MIR. Garland is Virgnian,
and Southern in all his feelings. His appoint
ment would bring great influence TO bear on the Uni
versity, and would remove from the minds Of large
portion of the country prejudice which has long
existed against it. With such qualifications md CLAIMS
am sure gentlemen, you will not be justified by the
public in overlooking your own fellow citizens, and
going abroad for untried men, who, in these days OF
putting, get any sort OF recommendation they may
DESIRE and who in the hour Of trial, will disappoint all
ex pccations, bring reproach on your Institution, and
modification yourselves.
II is not known to the writer whether Mr. Garland
desires this appointment, whether he would accept
it, The Trustees have held out every inducement for
him to remain, where he is now so emlnenty useful.
All the writer say is, that he deserves the station
that the welfare of the University, of Science, and of the
State, will be promoted by his seection-and these
the only considerations which should weigh in the
minds Of those who have 10 make the selection
