Assembly OK
On Area School
Two-Yeor College
Near D. c. Approved
By School Leaders

The University of Virginia will
ask the 1856 General Assembly
for authorization to establish a
Northern Virginia branch in the
Washington suburban area.
DR.. j. N. G. Finley. director
of the university center now OPP
Grating at Arlington's Washing
ton-Lee High School. made the
disclosure Of plans for a two
year Junior college" at a dim
fier meeting last night of the
Arlington Committee of 100,
The way was cleared for the
General Assembly request. DR..
Finley said, after APPROVAL of the
idea by the undergraduate fac
ulty, the University Senate
deans and elected faculty menu
bers-and by the Board Of
Visitors.
Met Last Year
This action followed a meet
ing nearly a year ago between
the Advisory Committee of the
university center and Colgate w.
Darden. jr., university president.
"All of them" DR.. Finley said,
Endorsed the idea of branches,
or two-year colleges. That means
the question will have to be pre-
sented to the General Assembly
before a branch can be estab-
liShed."
Strictly speaking, the existing
center does not offer two full
years of credits toward degrees
although it goes a long way in
that direction, DR.. Finley said.
The Arlington Committee Of
100 is made up of local business
men, Washington commuters
and county officials. B. Alden
| Lillywhite, chairman, said the
discussion of the university
branch was not intended to
cover the controversial topic OF
a site.
Areas Represented
Representatives of the govern
ing bodies and school admins.
tratiops of the four suburban
Jurisdictions Arlington and
Fairfax Counties and Alexandria
and Falls Church-were well
represented. Each Of the areas
is making serious bids to provide
a site for a permanent branch
of the university.
At one point in the discussion,
however, DR.. Frank Brown Of
the American Council on Educa-
ton, who was the principal
speaker, observed:
Il think it would be unwiSe to
permanently establish such an
institution in a highly developed
area"
He said it would be too expen-
sive to expand it's activities in
the future if this were done.
Larger School Suggested
Chairman John A. johnson Of
the Falls Church School Board
wanted to know IF we're not
/ setting our sights too low" by
seeking only a two-year college
rather than a four-year insti-
! tuition.
To which DR.. Finley replied,
Il am not authorized by the
Board of Visitors to whoop it UP
for a four-year college. The
Board has approved a two-year
branch and will ask the General
Assembly for its approval"
