University of Virginia Library

Supporting Letter

Mr. Buchanan's statements
were supported by a letter appearing
in the Charlottesville
Daily Progress written by Thomas
D. Willet, a former University
graduate student now at Harvard.
Mr. Willet said, "It is my sincere
hope that other members of the
University administration will be
more responsive than has been
Dean Harris, whose comment on
the original letter was that he
was sure the Rotunda would
stand up. I fear I detected a callous
note in his comment, one
highly inappropriate for a high
administrator for whom the future
quality of the University
should be of prime concern."
