UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY.
Richmond Alumni,s Correspondence
With Judge A. w. Wallace.

knowing Judge Wallace tc be a mem
Der OF the Board of Visitors of the Uni
versity, representative of the Free
Lance called on him yesterday and asked
him whether he could give anything for
publication with reference to the contro-
versy as to contemplated president for
the University of Virginia, and the cleo
ton for the position of Colonel Miles. The
Judge said, acting somewhat as judi
cial officer on the board, 1t would be i'm
proper for him to express any decided
opinion. al present, further than to state
that he would furnish the Free Lance
with a copy Of correspondence between
committee Of the Alumni Association
of Richmond and himself, and that he did
this because this committee had failed In
It's report to the Association on Tues
day, as far as he could see from the Rich
mond papers, to have such correspond
ence read; therefore, he was more than
willing to have his individual position
known to the extent shown in his letter.
The letter sent by Judge Wallace was
interlmed. showing the power Of the
board to appoint agents, as well as to-
create new chairs, but the Judge I'D not

fessors. There is nothing in the bylaws
in conflict with the State law, and even
if there was such bylaws would be void !:
SO that I am of opinion that it Is per-
fectly competent for the Board of Visit
tors to establish new chair. and to pre-
scribe the duties Of the occupant, and
unless there was some very urgent need
for action I think the public should have
notice of any such contemplated action
by the Board of Visitors. so that the best
man possible may be obtained for the
position.
Replying further, I think it necessary
to state that, in my judgment, for the
development and prosperity of the Uni
versity of Virginia under the existing
conditions of competition. the institution
needs an executive officer, who after
consultation with and under the direc-
ton of the Board of Visitors shall devote
his entire energy to the progressive well
fare Of the University, and that this ex-
ecutive officer should be part and parcel
of the faculty, and to do his work as
ma pped out by the faculty and Board of
Visitors, thereby in no way fmpairing the
original idea Mr.. Jefferson had in view
Of faculty government and also giving
the University the benefit of all in the
way of advantage that could be obtained
by having a president. The man to be

selected for such a position, IN my opin-
ion. should be an "all-round" man, of
broad views, ripe judgment, experienced.
administrative and business capacity, Of
mental and physical vigor, and whose
heart is earnestly in his work: and should
be the very best man that can be obtain
ed after the deliberate efforts OF the Board
of Visitors. whether he has ever been
4 member of the Board OF Visitors or
not. 1t is frst-class man the Univer-
sity needs, and if such a man can be
obtained I should not hesitate to vote
for him, whether he was or is a member
of the faculty, Board Of Visitors or OF
neither.
With reference to any contemplated ac-
ton of the board in the premises, I have
no information. except that the general
question was discussed at the annual
meeting in June. but no formal action
was taken, and subsequently a notice of
called meeting at Richmond to elect a
chairman of the faculty was sent me. but
l was informed by telegraph from the
secretary that no such meeting would he
held
While I am not officially informed. I
am under the impression that meeting
of the Board of Visitors is contemplated
some time in October. and I have no
doubt. from my knowledge of the gentle
men who compose the beard that each
member will be glad to have the views of
every friend of the University to assist
the board in this or any other matter
which may come before it for considera-
ton. am. with great respect.
Your obedient servant.

Richmond. Va, Sept. Is. 1902.
Judge A. W. Wallace, Fredericksburg.

Va:
Dear Sir,-Conceiving that certain cur
rent rumors concerning the University OF
Virginia are calculated to do harm, and
believing that such rumors must be
without proper foundation a conference
of some OF the members of the Richmond
Alumni Associa ton was held at the Com
monwealth Club, in this city, last eve
ming, presided over by DR.. c. w. P.
Brock. our president. and the undersigned
committee was appointed to ascertain
the facts and report the same to the
president, who is authorized to call
meeting Of the Association, if we deem it
necessary or advisable. Whilst confident
that the welfare and government of the
University are safe in your hands. we are
certain that you will recognize that the
deep interest we feel in that institution
justify our request for the facts in regard
to the matters inquired of below. We are
also confident that you will appreciate
the spirit and respect with which the
duty imposed upon US is intended to be
discharged.
We beg, therefore, that you will be kind
enough to inform us:
First Whether is it contemplated to es-
tahlisf a new chair at the University:
and. if so. whether the public will have
due notice thereof before the election of
any incumbent. Second. whether it is
proposed to elect any one chairman of
the faculty not now member thereof?
Third whether it is proposed to enlarge
or extend the powers and duties of the
chairman? Fourth. whether YOU approve
the election of any present or recent
member of the board to this office; and,
if 50, what are your reasons therefor?
This letter will be sent to each member
of the board Trusting that you will
favor us with an early reply. we have
the honor to be.
Very truly yours,
EUGENE c.. MASSIE.
