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. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
