University of Virginia Library

Official Functions

Today the fast pace will continue,
as the new students will be
subjected to a combination of
official functions and informal
meetings. In the morning is a
convocation on Customs and Traditions
at University Hall. In the
afternoon, President and Mrs.
Shannon will greet the first-year
undergraduates at a reception outside
his home at Carr's Hill. This
affair will be excellent opportunity
to meet personally the President
and other major University
officials. Refreshments will be
served, and in case of bad weather,
the reception will be held in the
Newcomb Hall Ballroom.
