University of Virginia Library

JONES AND BARKSDALE MEMORIAL FUNDS

A gift to the Department of Engineering from Messrs. Arthur P. Jones,
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.
