University of Virginia Library

APPLICATION FROM ARCHITECTURAL FRATERNITY

The President presented a letter from the Killikrates Chapter of the Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity
requesting permission of the University to build a small lodge to be designed by Professor
Makielski of the School of Architecture, said structure to be located on University property behind
the Zeta Psi Fraternity House and immediately adjacent to the C. and O. railroad tracks. The fraternity
stated that in the event the University should require the land, it would sell the structure
for no more than the original investment of $1,500, with annual depreciation of five per cent.


171

The President stated that he did not believe the land would be needed by the University,
as it was very close to the railroad tracks and was not suitable for University building purposes.
He recommended that the request be granted, which recommendation was unanimously approved by the
Board.
