TABLET FOR COLONNADE CLUB
In accordance with the instructions of the Board at the last meeting, the President presented
a draft of a proposed tablet to be placed on the Colonnade Club (Pavilion VII). This draft
was prepared by Mr. Harry Clemons, Librarian Emeritus of the University, and was approved as submitted,
as follows:
On 6 October 1817, in the presence of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
James Monroe, and many another distinguished citizen, was laid the cornerstone
of this pavilion, the first to be erected of the group that was later
to give visible form to Jefferson's architectural plan for the University
of Virginia.
After discussion it was decided to postpone the determination of a date for the unveiling
of this marker
