University of Virginia Library

Petty Theft

During the Jefferson Society
cocktail party of Friday evening,
Midwinters Weekend, the
elaborately carved Vice-President's
chair belonging to the society
disappeared from the men's bath
below the Hall where it was stored
for the night. This chair, a picture
of which will be posted on the door
of Jefferson Hall, has no great value
as an antique but is quite distinctive
in design and not easily replaced by
us.

Needless to say the return of
this chair or information as to its
whereabouts would be greatly
appreciated by the Society. It
seems unfortunate to me that
among the departing traditions of
the University should be the Virginia
student's normal assumption that
the grounds is free of petty theft.
