Postcards of University of Virginia scenes, 1906-1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51679504

Postcards from the University of Virginia sent by Stanley "Bud" Reeves tohis sister, Willie, in Johnson City, Tenn. Scenes are chiefly of the Rotunda, Lawn, and Ranges. There are also views of the Serpentine walls, Hospital, Madison Hall, Cabell Hall, Fayerweather Gymnasium, Pavilion X, the Chapel, and the scene [at President E.A. Alderman's inaugural] There are also views of Monticello, Montpelier, Christ Church in Charlottesville, Main Street, Charlottesville, the junction of University Avenue and Main Street, Charlottesville showing the excavation for the street to run under the C & O railroad bridge, and Roanoke Valley near Elliston. Some of the views were taken by Holsinger, Charlottesville, Va. The majority of the postcards have very brief notes. On October 22, 1908, he mentions a big Confederate parade, and on November 14, 1909, he notes the death of Archer Christian : "Virginia crushingly defeated Georgetown yesterday but paid dearly for the victory - the price was a man's life. The whole University in gloom as the result of the sad affair. A memorial service in chapel to-night."
