University of Virginia Library

Identification

The committee continues to state, "The
identification with the University is a
significant element of education at the
University; an element which is being stretched
by the fact that 70 per cent of the students
now reside off-Grounds, and which may be lost
still further by the development of Birdwood."

Referring to transportation services between
the Grounds and the tract, the report states,
"The connecting link will be one of the crucial
factors in the success of the residential college
and will be used to a greater extent than is
generally recognized."
