The supreme Council of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity most gratefully accept the privilege of petitioning your Honorable Board for the privilege of offering the use of Room 31, West Range, the birth-place of our beloved Fraternity, as a scholarship to deserving members of its organization. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to which was referred the application of the Beta Theta Pi for permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds of the University, recommends that the fraternity be given an option until January 1, 1921 on the lot in the rear of the Kappa Sigma House and fronting on Rugby Road, for the erection of such house. The exact bounds of said lot to be hereafter determined by the Rector and Visitors, and the terms and conditions upon which said lot is to be held and the building erected to be in accordance with those heretofore determined by the Rector and Visitors in other like cases. In case the lot be desired by the fraternity, then the details shall be arranged and embodied in proper documents to be duly executed by the parties. The Committee on Buildings and Grounds unanimously recommends that the application of Prof. C. M. Sparrow, as set forth in his letter of June 7, 1920 to the President, be rejected, and the Committee is unable to make any recommendation which will provide for the remodeling or repairing of the property at this time.
