Acquisition Information

This collection was transferred to the library in December 1956.

Scope and Content Information

These files constitute the major record series generated by the president of the University of Virginia. The records consist chiefly of correspondence, but also include reports, minutes, clippings, memoranda, and related papers concerning all areas of business of the president's office.

Architectural drawing of the landscaping for the maintainance and geological survey building grounds and a smaller architectural drawing of The Lawn Tree Planting Diagram are present.

Of interest is the file "Segregation" in Box 28, which is almost entirely concerned with the admission of Gregory Swanson, the first African American student at the University.
