No Dormitories With State Funds for UVa
James H. Corbitt of Suffolk, a University of Virginia Board of Visitors member, says Virginia has not allotted state funds for UVa dormitories since Jefferson’s era. He sent the statement to House Appropriations Chairman C. C. Louderback to be included in the $235,000,000 budget bill with Governor Darden's recommendation for a $3,000 dormitory dining recreation facility for 1,000 students. Corbitt argues the aim is to cut student living costs and enable poor boys to attend the university as Jefferson intended.
