Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia
I was pleasantly surprised and greatly pleased when Dr. Simpson and
Mr. Woodward were good enough to call at my office one day last week and present to me the
letter and resolution of the Board informing me that the projected physical education
building at Mary Washington College was to bear my name.
I would like you to know that this action has given much pleasure to
my wife and she joins with me in expressing to every member of the Board, to Dr. Simpson
and to Mr. Woodward our deep appreciation for the honor which has been conferred
I have a deep interest in both the University and Mary Washington
College, and I have watched through the years the growth of the College with much pleasure,
and I feel that under the present administration its future is assured.
