1,225 Women

The office of the Dean of
Women has projected that 1,225
women will enroll at the University
next fall. Of these approximately
212 will be married. With
the housing available prior to
February 8 only 410 could have
been lodged on the Grounds.

Therefore, 603 women would
have been forced to find housing
in the city. To help alleviate the
problems this situation would
have caused, Mary E. Whitney,
Dean of Women, recently sent
letters to the principal realtors
in Charlottesville lifting restrictions
which had previously been
in force on women's housing.
