T. K. Wharton Esq.
Architect.
Dear Sir:
During the late meeting of the Board of Trustees of the University of the South the following Resolution was passed.
"Resolved That the plans of the Architects be referred to the Executive Committee, who shall have the Architects in explanation of their plans, and be authorized to decide upon some one for which compensation shall be made to the Artist. To carry out the intention of the advertisement the sum of Four hundred Dollars shall be paid for the plan selected."
I am instructed by the Executive Committee to communicate to you the action of that Committee on this subject, in the following Resolutions passed by the Committee on the 13th October 1860, to whit:
"Resolved That while we express the highest admiration for the perfection of style exhibited in the plans offered by W. Lee, and the great merit and convenient arrangement of them by Mr. Wharton, and Lee in several of the others many points of great
3
excellence, the majority of the Committee deem the plans of Mr. Anderson most in accordance with the designs and purposes of the proposed University.
That a copy of this Resolution be transmitted by the Secretary to each of the Architects who have been in attendance before the Board."
Very Respectfully
Yr. obdt. St.
