Purchased in the late 1800's by my grandfather,Thomas H. White,the property is currently owned by my sister and myself. Thomas H. White emigrated from England and worked in the University's greenhouses and was awarded an honorary Master's Degree for his horticultural achievements. My father, and most of his seven bothers graduated from the university with degrees in the sciences. My uncle, the late Dr Charles E. White, was Professor Emeritus of the Chemistry Department. The lone female sibling, my Aunt Kate, worked at the library for over forty years and rented rooms to GRADUATE students at the U of MD for many years. My father met my mother there, I met and married my wife there and many cousins are graduates of the university as well. My son, who recently received his Master's degree in teaching from the University, currently lives on the property. It could, in a sense, be a perpetual link between the University and the White Family if the property could be used in a manner befitting their mutual bonds. The property is located where it could be fully utilized by the Smith School of Business, the School of Architecture, and Hillel. A green initiative there would be a perfect gateway to the University on the west side of campus, balanced by the future plans for the East Campus. Clay,
