Granolithic Walks.

Granolithic Walks North of Rotunda, 1024 yards, can be
finished at $1.00 a yard. I recommend that it be done at once,
both for economy and for appearance. Afterwards the walks South
of the Rotunda, extending from residence of Prof. Lile on East
Lawn, around the Quadrangle to the residence of Prof. Fitz-Hugh
on West Lawn, about 1320 yards, should follow. The walks were
begun in 1895, two years before I entered upon my duties here,
and were laid around the Lawn, only to Prof. Lile's and to Prof.
Fitz-Hugh's, and Ranges, and from the Rotunda to the Post-Office.
They should be continued to Monroe Hill and Dawson's Row, and to
the Hospital, and elsewhere, regularly, until fully completed.

The University has the reputation of being the most beautiful
College in the world, in its grouping of architecture,
grounds and scenery, and is visited by many persons in the summer
months particularly, and all the year in the intervals of
trains passing.
