NAMING OF NEW DORMITORY

Mr. Greear, Chairman of the Mary Washington College Committee, reported on behalf of the
Committee that the new dormitory which had been completed should now be named. During its discussions,
the Committee considered the question as to whether buildings either at Charlottesville
or elsewhere should be named after living persons. It was brought out in the discussion that the
custom at the University had been for no buildings to be named for living persons, but that one
building at Mary Washington College had been named for a person who was living at the time and is
still living.

After considerable discussion, the Board decided to defer the matter of naming the new dormitory
until a later date.
