University of Virginia Library

Dear Sir:

The Committee on the
Arboretum at its meeting this date
was greatly upset and concerned at
the contemplated use of the Lawn
this coming Monday night. The
Committee does not question the
right of students to protest but is
responsible for maintaining the
vigor of the grass and trees on the
Grounds. There is no question but
that the use of the Lawn as planned
will result in irreparable damage.

The Committee respectfully
requests that the Student Council
make every effort to move the
planned events to some other area
of the University. The events would
be just as effective if held in Mad
Bowl. The Dell, or Lambeth Field.

B.F.D. Runk
Chairman
Committee on the Arboretum
