For the second time in his base-ball his tory Ed. J. Delc-hanty has led a major league base-ball organization in batting. His average is .374 to .372 for Lajoie. It is no small honor, and he has but a small advantage over the great Lajoie. In 1899. >hil« a member of tlie Philadelphia Na tional League, "Del." as he is known to -the fraternity, led the organization, with a batting percentage of .408. In 1900 Wag ner led, and counting the batsmen who participated in- fifty games or more Dele hanty ranked sixteenth. Last season he A'as second to J«sse Burkett, batting for , .257, against .352 for the leader. In *t<4 he stood fourth, with .400; in '95 ■was second to Burkett, with .399, against -423; in "9tJ third, with .394; in '07 sixth, 'with .377, and in *9S eighth, with .334. . Second in batting is Napoleon Lajoie, \who led the American League last season ■with the fine batting average of .432, and was the only major league batsman of the country to attain over .400. •Boston has the honor- of having" the 'hardest hitter in the organization in "Buck" Freeman, who did some, very powerful thumping during the past sea son, and left all others well in the rear. .Last season Lajoie excelled in extra basea and Collins, of' the Bosions, was' sec ond, while Anderson and Williams both ranked ahead of Freeman. ;v ? here wer<: « wenty-€ight ; men in the 300 j jDla.6B, against thirty-five last season.

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- a 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 tne 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 duly imposed upon us is intended to be discharged. .■. ■ , - . We begi therefore, that you will.be kind, enough -to inform us:' First. Whether is, it contemplated to es tablish 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 a 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- so. what are your reasons therefor?

' "■ ' ■ [- . 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 tion of the Board, of ..Visitors, shall devote his entire energy to the [progressive wel fare.of the University, and that this ex ecutive officer should be part and parcel of the faculty, and to do his work as mapped out by the faculty and Board of Visitors, thereby in no way impairing the original; idea Mr. Jefferson had in view of faculty igovernment. and also giving the University, the benefit of all in the way of advantage that could be obtained by having a president.
