Notable events
- November 19, 1937 College Topics found that a majority of University of Virginia students surveyed opposed action to contain Japanese military activity. The questions were "Do you favor the present neutrality law?" and "Do you favor the United States taking the lead through the Brussels Conference to halt the recognized aggression of Japan?" [4]
- November 10, 1953 – The very first Mason-Dixon Intercollegiate Pipe-Smoking Championship is held at Madison Hall sponsored by the Cavalier Daily. The winner was second-year medical student James T. Gillespie who lasted one hour, 39 minutes, and 52 seconds. This beat the time of Walter Bossert, a student at Columbia University. Bossert blamed the southern air for his loss. [5]
- November 11, 1955 – The Cavalier Daily publishes an editorial calling for the University of Virginia to withdraw from the Atlantic Coast Conference and for athletics to be deemphasized. [6]
