 Description: At a called meeting of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia held on the 4th of November 1895. The Faculty have to report to you in official form the grievous disaster which has befallen our University. The fire of the 27th October 1895, breaking out in the rear of the top story of the Annex, tho' soon discovered, speedily passed beyond control and in spite of the devoted efforts of our officers, faculty, students, friends and neighbors continued its work of ruin until the Annex, the Rotunda, a large part of their contents, and the wings connecting the Rotunda with the Lawns were either burned or wrecked.
