the University on the above date. Supplemental report. In response to your letter of the 10th inst. I am anthorized
by Mr. John D. Rockefeller to say that he will take
pleasure in contributing one hundred thousand dollars toward
the completion of the million dollar fund. Mr. Rockefeller
would be gratified if it should conform to the policy of the
Board of Visitors to make this $100,000 a memorial to his
friend the late Hon. J. L. M. Curry. Perhaps it may be possible
for you to found with this fund a school of Education
to be called the Curry Memorial School of Education of the
University of Virginia, in commemoration of Dr. Curry's great
and distinguished services to popular education in the South. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
