HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF vTRG1N1A's MANAGE
MENT is REGULATED.

HOW THE UNIVERSITY OF VTRG1N1As MANAGE
MENr is REGULATED.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue of The Tribune II
stated that Jerome Hall Raymond is the new presi-
dent Of the University Of Virginia This university
has never had a president. although several at
tempts to create this Office have been made one Of
them In recent years. The most notable was in
1926 three months before tho death Of tho founder
when William Writ, then Attorney General OF the
United States elected, but declined 10 serve.
Tho government Of the institution is vested in
rector and Board OF Visitors. The Board Is APP
pointed by the Governor Of Virginia with the con-
sent Of the Senate. and from their number the
rector Is chosen The affairs of the university
administered under the general direction OF this
BOARD by the faculty and its chairman. This
chairman Is the nearest approach the organization
affords 10 what Is understood by college or uni
versity president AS a body. the faculty exercises
the judicial functions necessary 10 the admnistra-
,,on IN harmony with the laws OF the State and
tho regulations prescribed by the Board. The
chairman Is a member OF the faculty. and is Sc
Iected periodically by the Board as the chief execu-
tive officer. His powers are by no means as ex-
tensive as those OF president and each professor
feels that he is part Of tho governing body, with
hts nroper share influence in directing its policy
Go strongly was Mr.. Jefferson attached to this
form, OF academic government that upon the cleo
t,on OF Mr. Writ he as rector entered upon the
,,,,utes IN his own hand his dissent from the ac-
,,o, NJ the Board giving as his chief reasons for
,,s onnost.on 10 the presidency the following
hitch copy from the yelowed pages OF the first
hook OF minutes OF the Board OF Visitors Of the
rrn,versity Of Virginia: Because the law esthb-
,,.n'ro the university delineatng the organization
30 ,he authority by which 1t should be directed and
ooverned. and placing at Its head Board of Rector
so s v,sI,ors has enumerated with great precision
az snecial powers 1t meant TO give that Board. in
which enumeration is not to be found that OF Great
w." nresident making him member OF the fac-
ms ,ro,e..ors and with controlling powers over
w.. faculty; and 1t is not conceivable that while
