University of Virginia Library

HAMILTON BARKSDALE MEMORIAL LIBRARY

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.
The annual income from this fund, which becomes available for the first
time in the session of 1925-1926, will be devoted largely to completing sets
of the most valuable periodical literature in the various fields of engineering
together with the binding and suitable housing of these and other printed
publications of merit.
