funds proposed for Thomas Jeffer-
son memorial in Washington to the
University of Virginia, which he
founded
John A. Chapman. elected president
of the association at its meeting last

resolution to memorialize Congress to
devote whatever funds appropriated
for a Thomas Jefferson memorial to
the University of Virginia for educa-
tional or other humanitarian pur-
poses.
Proposal to expend 100000 for a
memorial to Jefferson in Washington's S
famous Tidal Basin now is before a

"Jefferson's epitaph," Mr. Chapman
pointed out today, said he wished to
be remembered for three things:
Writing the Declaration of Independ-
ence, writing the Virginia statutes of
religious freedom and founding the
University of Virginia.
We think far more appropriate
memorial for Jefferson would be to
use any funds appropriated for edu-
cational scholarships, research or any
other humanitarian purpose at the
University OF Virginia OF which he
was so proud
Harcourt Parrish, New York pub
licist, proposed the resolution which
was adopted, after considerable de-
