GENERAL ADMINISTRATION. (i) The President announced the death of Bishop Little- john, occurring on August 3d, 1901. (2) The resignation of Mr. Coudert as a Trustee on account of continued ill health was received and accepted with re- gret. (3) Resolved, That the thanks of the Trustees be tendered to Benjamin B.

No. 137 1901-1902 2 Oct. 7 (5) The President reported the receipt in June last from an anonymous donor of a gift of $100,000 "towards the found- ing of a Department of Chinese Languages, Literatures, Religion and Law; to be known as the Dean Lung Professor- ship of Chinese," and a further gift of $12,000 from Dean Lung to be added to the fund. (6) The following letter was received from Mr, Low tender- ing his resignation as President: President's Room, September 25th, 1901. Mr. W. C. SCHERMERHORN, Chairman of the Trustees of Columbia College in the City of New York. Sir: As you are aware, I have been obliged to make known my purpose of accepting the nominations that will be tendered to me for the office of Mayor of New York. Under these circumstances I hereby place in your hands for sub- mission to the Trustees of the University my resignation of the office of President with which my fellow Trustees honored me twelve years ago. In doing so I beg to ask that the resignation be accepted to take effect immediately. It is clearly undesirable for the University to keep at its head one who can no longer give to it the sole and exclusive attention that it deserves; and, perhaps, I may add without being misunderstood, that I think it equally in my own interest that this course should be pursued. My own wish, therefore, coincides with what I conceive to be the interest of the University, when I ask that my resignation be considered as final. It is, however, with no light heart that I take this serious step; but only under the constraint of a call to the public service that brooks no denial. Columbia University cannot teach men to be patriotic if it will make no sacrifices in the public interest; and not even Columbia's President can ex- No. 137 3 1901-1902 Oct. 7 pect to be exempt from the obligation to illustrate good citizen- ship as well as to teach it. In now surrendering my charge into the hands of the Trustees, I am glad to believe that almost all of the special problems that have commanded my attention have been solved. The only large question not fully disposed of is the question of the debt necessarily incurred as a consequence of removal to our new site. In all probability our resources within the next six or seven years will increase to a point where that burden will cease to be felt. In the meantime our interest charge cannot be met out of our income without impairment of our educational efficiency. We have been successful in raising the needed money this year; and I can- not believe that the generous people of the City will fail to sustain, in this respect, year by year, for the few years the need is likely to last, the University that has done and is doing so much for the City of New York. Of course the University looks in large measure to future benefactions to pay off the debt itself. The results accomplished could not have been realized except for the strong and unwavering support that I have received at all times from the Trustees ; and for this support, the value of which I alone can estimate, I thank you, Sir, and every one of my colleagues. I take this opportunity, also, of conveying my thanks, through you, to the noble body of men, Professors and Instructors of every grade, who have held up my hands so loyally during all these years. It is they, and not I, who have made the Columbia University of which we are all so proud, and I bespeak from them for my successor, whoever he maybe, the same loyal and affectionate support that they have given to me. With every good wish for Alma Mater, whom it is always a delight to serve; and rejoicing, that, while retiring from the presidency, I may still continue in her service as Trustee, I am. Sir, Very respectfully yours, SETH LOW. No. 137 1901-1902 4 Oct. 7 (7) Resolved, That the resignation of Seth Low as President of this Corporation be, and it is hereby accepted to take effect immediately. (8) Resolved, That the following minute relative to Mr. Low's resignation be adopted, and a copy sent to Mr. Low: The Trustees have learned with the deepest regret that Mr. Low has determined to resign the office of President of this University. They appreciate, however, the patriotic pur- poses which have induced him to retire from his present post; and they recognize the delicacy and unselfishness which have dictated his requests that his resignation be considered final and that it be accepted to take effect immediately. Requests so made cannot be ignored or refused, and the Trustees have therefore felt constrained to comply with Mr. Low's wishes and to accept his resignation at this present meeting. In so doing they deem it proper to enter upon their min- utes a record of their affectionate regard for Mr. Low per- sonally, and of their high opinion of the value of his services to the University. Mr. Low has now served as Trustee for twenty years. He has served as President for exactly twelve years — having been elected October 7th, 1889 — a period marked by changes of the utmost importance, which may fairly be said to have created a new Columbia. A great University has been or- ganized out of a group of scattered and unrelated schools. It has been moved to new and generous quarters that worthily accommodate it and that invite the large expansion which is certainly before it. It has established intimate and satisfac- tory affiliations with Barnard College and Teachers College. Its educational organization is thorough and effective; a strong, enthusiastic common life now pervades and inspires every part; the number of its teachers and students was never so large; its educational prestige was probably never higher; and in every quarter, both inside and outside the University, the utmost good-will prevails. Such a record of achievement tells its own story of the head of the University; but it would be a most incomplete account No. 137 5 1901-1902 Oct. 7 that failed to make some reference to Mr. Low's extraordinary and unwearied generosity. At his own cost he has built the University Library building; he has established trust funds for the encouragement of study and research, and he has contributed in unnumbered ways to supplement the funds of the University, and to help every good cause in which its members are interested. The Trustees cannot but deplore the loss of an executive officer so able, experienced and zealous, but they rejoice to learn that Mr. Low intends to continue a Trustee and they indulge the hope that whatever post of duty he may hereafter occupy this Board will still continue to enjoy the benefit of his counsel. (9) Resolved^ That Professor Nicholas Murray Butler be, and he hereby is, appointed Acting President, to serve until the further order of the Board, with the powers and duties of President, and that until further order of the Board h^ be requested to attend the meetings of the Trustees. (10) Resolved, That it be referred to a Committee of Five, to be appointed by the Chair, and of whom the Chairman of the Board shall be one, to consider and report upon the subject of filling the vacancy in the office of President and to nominate one or more candidates for the consideration of the Board. The Chairman appointed to serve on such Committee with himself, the Rev. Dr. Dix, and Messrs. Rives, Mitchell and Pine.

No. 137 1901-1902 6 Oct. 7 (13) Resolved, That the sum of $1,000 returned by Mr. G. W. Hill on account of his salary for the last academic year as Lecturer in Celestial Mechanics, be restored, as requested by him, to the Catherine Bruce Fund, from whence it came. (14) Resolved, That a special appropriation of $443.57 be made to the credit of the Library, on account of the Catalogue of Educational Books in the University libraries, and as against the like amount collected from fines and for duplicates during the last academic year. (15) Resolved, That the Finance Committee have authority to pay the expenses of Prof. Boas, incurred at the request of the President, in looking into the methods of administration of the Oriental Departments of Europe, to an amount not ex- ceeding $150. (16) Resolved, That an appropriation of $1,500, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be and hereby is made, to be added to the annual budget of the year, on account of the salary of said Employment Secretary.

In recording the death of Mr. William C. Schermerhorn, the Chairman of the Board, the Trustees desire to make formal acknowledgment of his services to the University and to give expression to their personal feeling of respect and affection. Graduated from Columbia College sixty-three years ago, he has been one of its Trustees for forty-two years, and for the past ten years has been Chairman of the Board. In the remarkable development of the institution during that long period of time he has taken a deep interest and an active part. Acquainted as few other men have been, not only with its history, but with the details of its financial and educational administration, he has been in the heartiest sympathy with every wise plan for its enlargement and its increased efficiency. His alertness of mind, his sound judgment, his cultivated taste, his progressive spirit and his loyal and untiring devotion to the interests of the University have been of the greatest possible service in the critical years through which it has safely passed, while his presence at the head of this Board has done so much to inspire public confidence in the wisdom of its management of the great trust committed to it. Always ready by well-timed and judicious gifts to meet the need of increased resources, he has been one of the most constant and. No. 149 1902-1903 2 Jan. 5 generous benefactors of the University, the building which bears his name representing only in part his numerous contributions.

By the death of Mr. Schermerhorn the University has been deprived of one of her most loyal and devoted sons, whose liberality on behalf of his Alma Mater was unstinted, and whose interest in her welfare and advancement was unfailing. The Trustees direct this minute to be entered upon their records as an expression of their appreciation of the character and services of their associate, and of their sympathy with the members of his family.

EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. (114) The President presented the following announcement of the death of Professor Thomas Randolph Price, which was entered upon the minutes: June I, 1903. To the Trustees : It is my sad duty to announce the death, on May 7, of Thomas Randolph Price, Professor of the Eng- lish Language and Literature in Columbia University since 1882. In Professor Price, Columbia University and the country lose a member of the very small group of truly great American scholars. Built upon the foundation furnished by the character of a Virginia gentleman, Professor Price's scholarship gave to his mind and nature a rare and enduring charm. He was educated at the University of Virginia and at the Universities of Berlin and of Kiel. He broke off his studies in Europe in order to enlist as a private in the ranks of the Confederate Army, and served with gallantry and devotion the flag and the cause to which his mind and heart gave willing allegiance. Upon the conclusion of the Civil war. Professor Price entered upon his career as a teacher, serving successively as No. 154 3 1902-1203 June I Principal of the University School in Richmond, Virginia, as Professor of Latin and Greek at Randolph- Macon College, and as Professor of Greek in the University of Virginia. It was from this latter post, in which he succeeded his life-long friend, Gildersleeve, that he came to Columbia to the chair which he oc- cupied for twenty-one years. At the time of his death, Professor Price had but five seniors on the roll of the University's teaching staff. The influence of Professor Price at Columbia has been marked. His extraordinary scholarship, his strongly held opinions on all academic and educa- tional subjects, and his sincere devotion to the highest university ideals, have left a lasting impression upon his colleagues, as well as upon his many students. During his long career as teacher and professor, he produced men and scholars, rather than books, a^d these have gone out into the colleges and schools of the country, where they serve the ideals which he taught and pay glad tribute to their master's learning and power. Professor Price's sensitiveness and his extreme modesty prevented the world at large from knowing what we at Columbia knew so well, that he was " The scholar who combined The English soul and Grecian mind." Respectfully, Nicholas Murray Butler, President. ' (115) Professor William R. Ware was appointed Professor Emeritus of Architecture, and the following minute was adopted: On the occasion of the retirement of William R. Ware as Professor Emeritus of Architecture, the Trustees desire to place on record this expression of their appreciation of his personal worth as well as of his high professional skill and No. 154 1902-1903 4 June I long and successful academic service. It has been given to Professor Ware to found two successful Schools of Architec- ture, and that at Columbia University, which his hand has guided from its earliest beginnings, will remain as an enduring monument of his foresight and zealous skill. The Trustees wish for Professor Ware many years of health and happiness in the enjoyment of the dignity which he has so fully earned. (116) The resignation of James W. McLane, M.D., as Dean of the Medical Faculty, was received and accepted. A reso- lution of thanks for his long services to the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons was adopted. APPOINTMENTS.
