Lawn resident survey project [manuscript], 1996.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647912812

The papers consist of two groups of surveys. The original short survey was sent to former residents of the lawn and range rooms. The Rotunda Fire Committee planned to use the surveys for an oral history project. Also, they planned to use the compiled data in the publication, Lawn Resident Directory 1895-1995. The directory was to coincide with the 100th year anniversary of the Rotunda Fire. The enormous success of the survey forced the committee to revert instead to a lengthier, yet timelier, second survey in lieu of the oral histories. Miscellaneous material submitted with the surveys include a file of the Lawn Chowder and Marching Society, 1996-1997, including a copy of the statement signed by all Lawn residents admitting to have had women in their rooms in violation of University regulations; a photograph of Martha Chanutin who lived with her parents in Pavilion V; a copy of "Memories of a happy life at the dear old U. Va." by Eleanor Lile Tucker, 1968; additional information for 1896 law student David Cummins; and excerpts from the diary of student Preston Hampton Edwards, 1899-1900, which includes a description of the ceremonies unveiling the bust of Edgar Allan Poe.
