Important Action OF the Board OF
Trustees or kichmOud COllexe-fwo
New Professors Elected.

The Board OF Trustees OF the college
have been engaged for two days on impor-
tant matters connected with the interests Of
the college.
The recent gift Of $4,000, which Mr.
James Thomas, Jr., has added 10 his fire.
quent and liberal benefactiops, and the gift
OF 1880 per annum (belng the interest on
s25,000) by another friend OF the college
who conceals bis name from even the trlls-
tees, has enabled the Board to elect two new
professors, and they have been earnestly
seeking the best men to oil these positions.
Rev. DIR. W. ID. Thomas was unanimous
ly elected TO the chair Of Moral Philosophy.
DIR. Thomas Is q native OF Richmond. and Is
a graduate OF Richmond College and very
distinguished Master Of Arts OF the Univer-
sity OF Virginia OF the year 1854. He espe-
cialy distinguished himself i'm the school Of
Mental and Moral Philosopy under DR.. Nc
Gufey, and has had ever since great apti.
tude and ioDdness for these subjects.
He has had most successful pastorates in
WarrentoD, Va, GreenvilIe, S. c., and
Norfolk, Va, and is regarded as an able
preacher, fine scholar, most skillful de-
batter, and laborious, conscientious gen.
tleman, who will adorn any position which
he will consent to fill. The friends Of the
college everywhere will rejoice II he shall
accept the position and give the chair his
clear intellect, high character, and wide in
fuence.
DIR. Thomas was elected In spite OF his
earnestly.eXpressed preference for another
gentleman, and 1t is not certainly known
whether he will accept.
The Chair OF English was filed by the
election OF Rev. DR.. a. B. Browr, Of
Pittsy ylvania county.
DR.. Brown was a brilliant student at the
University during the years i'm which such
men as Colonel Charles Marshall, Rev. DR..
John A. Broadus, Professor John Hart,
and other kindred spirits, won their laurels,
and was considered the peer OF any Of that
brilliant colerie. Since his college days he
has been constant aud laborious student,
until he now has the reputation OF being
one OF the ripest scholars as wei as one Of
the ablest men in Virginia.
His sermons, and especially his platform
speeches, have won him fame far ard wide,
while his purity OF character and brilliant
conversational powers make him the charm
OF The social circle. No one who knows DR..
Brown dOubs for moment that, II he ac-
cepts, the chair will be filed with very great
ability, and that this man, who adorns
everything he touches, will make the chair
Of English in Richmond College equal tc
that Of any college in the land.
On recommendation Of the Faculty the
trustees conferred the following honorary
degrees: ID. ID. on Rev. II. ii. Graves, oi
Canton, China; Rev. c. II. Corey, presi
dent OF the Richmond Institute; Rev
Thomas Hume, OF Norfolk: and Rev. /. b
Lake, Of Fauquier.
The degree Of LII. d. was conferred or
