University of Virginia Library

The Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Visitors, meeting today
in Charlottesville, adopted the following resolution to present to the Board:

We recommend to the Board that the site of the outdoor swimming pool be on
the location of the present reflecting pool for the following reasons:

1) Construction of the swimming pool will remove the present hazard and
eyesore.

2) It will be convenient to the Gymnasium and proposed Student Union Building.

3) It can be used as part of the development of a beautiful area.

The Committee feels that the pool must be highly sanitary and that necessary
construction be carried out to make it available to women students.

We recommend that the architects chosen for the construction of the new dormitories
and Student Union Building of the University be requested to make a study and
prepare plans for consideration for such a pool and landscape gardening of the area.
