Faculty, Clinch Valley College
of the University of Virginia
President Darden expressed his warm appreciation for the generous sentiments
of the College Faculty. He stated, however, that he was strongly and unalterably
opposed to having any building on any campus of the University of Virginia named
after him now or at any time in the future.
The Board accordingly resolved, in deference to the President's wishes, that
the Secretary convey to the Faculty of Clinch Valley College of the University of
Virginia the thanks of the Visitors, their hearty concurrence in the sentiments of
the Faculty toward Mr. Colgate W. Darden, Jr., and their regret that they cannot
approve the naming of the new academic building in honor of Mr. Darden.
