University of Virginia Library

Steering Committee

The Committee on the Future, through the
Steering Committee already established, will
maintain regular lesson with the Master Plan
Committee, the Housing Committee, the
Lambeth Field Committee, the Traffic and
Parking Committee, and the Committee on the
Environment. The Committee on the Future
will draw directly upon these Committees for
information and guidance in their particular
areas of expertise. The recommendations of
these Committees will be vital and essential to
the recommendations of the Committee on the
Future.

I also ask the Committee this year to
amplify the existing feasibility study
concerning residential colleges to be located in
the Birdwood tract and to make
recommendations dealing with such matters as
the students that should live in these colleges,
the relationships students and faculty residing
there should have to the rest of the University,
the best mix of "living and learning" for these
colleges, and the general nature of the
curriculum to be pursued in them.

The Committee should not hesitate to
address itself to other matters that in its
opinion are central to the educational
development and welfare of the diversity.

I am grateful to you and the Committee for
undertaking this demanding task.
