Excerpt from Letter to the Honorable the Board of Trustees of the University of Mississippi In the beginning, it may seem proper to explain for what reason the undersigned has chosen to adopt the present form of communication with the members of your honorable body, instead of awaiting the period of your stated annual meeting, and embodying the topics here discussed into the usual official report of the head of the University. Were these topics such as to call only for ordinary legislation, this latter course would undoubtedly be the most appropriate. But involving, as they do, a consideration of the expediency of introducing into the arrangement and division of the subjects embraced in the educational course already existing, changes of some considerable moment, it is eminently desirable that they should be made subjects of more mature and deliberate reflection, than the usually brief duration of your annual sessions allows, and it will no doubt be considered by yourselves also an advantage to be able to make them a subject of consultation with the friends of education among the people of the State, before you shall be called on to pass upon them your final judgment. These reasons have determined the undersigned to express his views in the form of a circular letter, issued long enough before the period of your annual assembling, to enable you to bring to the meeting opinions unembarrassed by hesitation or doubt.
