• READ MORE ABOUT THE DEAN'S MOVE TO THE LAWN IN CAVALIER DAILY

Dean Carl Zeithaml will be the first Dean of the McIntire School of Commerce to reside on the Lawn. Zeithaml succeeds retired Senior Vice President for Development Ernest Ern this summer as the 11th resident of Pavilion X.

"I'm thrilled with the honor and opportunity that it presents for the School and my family," Zeithaml said. Zeithaml, his wife, Charlotte, and their children are excited about their move to this historic location.

"The Lawn is the center of the University, and it symbolizes the values that are great about U.Va.," he said. "We will maintain the tradition of an open pavilion by inviting students and alumni to visit us often."

Charlotte Zeithaml met with Murray Howard, Curator of the Academical Village, to discuss the history of Pavilion X and the furnishings and decorations appropriate to the pavilions. Although residents have considerable latitude in furnishing pavilions, Mrs. Zeithaml looks forward to emphasizing the traditional 19th century look in the public areas of Pavilion X.

"We are excited about the challenges that all pavilion residents confront in furnishing their historic homes," said Mrs. Zeithaml. "For example, because Pavilion X has few closets, we need to find large wardrobes. We must select appropriate wall colors and furniture that work well in the very spacious rooms."

The objective of the University's restoration program is to create an atmosphere that harks back to the University's beginning. The University is seeking contributions of appropriate antique furnishings and is pursuing funds to acquire furniture and high-quality reproductions and to support restoration of the pieces now on the premises. McIntire alumni are invited to participate in creating the historic atmosphere of Pavilion X.
