William Barham Jones (B.A. 1907) and Major Kenneth S. Jones (B.A., LL.B.,
C.E. 1915, Major U. S. A., Engineer Corps) in memory of their father, the
late Walter H. Jones of Norfolk, Va., and of his deep interest in the University
of Virginia, in the form of an endowment fund has made it possible to provide
a considerable number of professional periodicals representing the various
engineering activities. A gift to the Department of Engineering from
Mrs. Hamilton Barksdale in memory of her husband, an alumnus of the Engineering
Department, specifically donated for the purpose of building up the
department library, will make possible at once much needed changes and additions
to the library.
