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,

was referred the application of the Beta Theta Pi for
permission to erect a fraternity house on the grounds

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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
