J.N.G. Finley to Joseph L. Vaughan, January 30, 1962 and notes

Description

Letter (carbon copy) from John Norville Gibson Finley, director of George Mason College to Joseph L. Vaughan, Chancellor of Community Colleges, University of Virginia, January 30. 1962. In this letter Finley suggests wording for the sign. He notes that the Fairfax Mayor, John C. Wood, suggested the removal of the phrase "Mayor and (Town) Council" from the paragraph, leaving only "Citizens of the Town of Fairfax" as the recognized donor.

Accompanying document is a handwritten copy of the suggested wording in Finley's handwriting. This document contains the strike-through of the phrase "Mayor and Council."
