HOUSES FOR FACULTY AT PIEDMONT

President Darden inaugurated discussion of a plan to construct small houses for rental to
junior members of the Faculty on the University's "Piedmont" tract south of Observatory Mountain.
He said that plans for specific houses would of course be brought before the Visitors' Committee
on Buildings and Grounds, he intended, however, unless he heard adverse comment from the Board,
to proceed now with such incidental preparations as the construction of roads and sewers. There
were general expressions of approval for the project.
