University of Virginia Library

Center Of Discussion

The University presently
receives a little more than a quarter
of its funds from the state. This is
just enough to make it a very vital
part of the budget. While it is not
nearly as large as it is at most state
schools, it is a very significant
portion. A reduction in it would
certainly hurt any growth planned
by The University.

Another showing of sentiment
around the state was the Bateman
resolution. Since it passed
unanimously, the delegate being
questioned voted for it. He said
that the University became the
center of some of the discussion.
Our reputation has spread. While it
is thought that Senator Bateman
did his research at a different
school, the legislators felt free to
mention the University and Mary
Washington.
