to the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia. In view of the present situation and the fact that representatives of the fraternities are
appearing before the Board on Friday, we thought it best that you be informed in some manner of the
desired plans of the Student Council. The Student Council on behalf of the students formally protests the recent action of the
Board of Visitors in forcing a group of rules upon the student body without consultation with the students. At a meeting of the Memphis Chapter of the University of Virginia Alumni Association, the
action of the Visitors in undertaking to codify and set up specific rules to regulate the gentlemanly
behavior of the Student Body was considered. In view of the recent regulations passed by you concerning this chapter, it is requested that
you reconsider part of section three of your resolution. The part in question states, "That the four
members of the SPE fraternity directly involved or who had knowledge of the occurrence be prohibited
from living in the SPE house . . ." The undersigned Committee, appointed by Chairman Halsey at the meeting of the Executive
Committee held September 11, 1947, to investigate and report upon the best method to be employed in
the handling and administration of funds obtained through the efforts of the Development Fund Campaign,
respectfully advises as follows: | | | Similar Items: | Find |
