In viewing the tabulation, it is clear that the University only had eight original professors, each of which lived in one of the Lawn's ten pavilions; however the numbering of Pavilions does not reflect where professors of the courses lived. The original professors included: Charles G. Bonnycastle - Professor of natural philosophy; Robley Dunglison - Professor of anatomy and medicine; Thomas Hewitt Key - Professor of mathematics; George Long - Professor of ancient languages; George Blaetterman - Professor of modern languages; John Patton Emmet - Professor of natural history; John Tayloe Lomax - Professor of law; George Tucker - Professor of moral philosophy. Note: Despite ten pavilions, there were only 8 original faculty. Where is the discrepancy? http://uvamagazine.org/articles/1825_old_school

Specific consideration given to the phrase "centrality of the white population of the whole state". In deciding benefits of the University's chosen location, it is indicated that the white population's accessibility to the site was of utmost importance, and such that racial bias was a major factor in the original acceptance of students to the University. It would be interesting to research the admittance of ethnicity in the early years of the University. Although a white majority and no blacks are expected of the period, it would be an interesting inquiry to see if any other ethnic groups were accepted, such as Latino, Native American, and non-European decent. In all, the real question is whether the University was 100% white males versus anything less, while still noting the period, but questioning Thomas Jefferson's belief that "every man is created equally" and the trend of ethnic admittance to the University.

Thomas Jefferson valued education. By implementing these objects of education, the University grew as a whole and has become what we know it as today. However, this system has become outdated and needed to be reformed, hence the creation of the New Curriculum. It is interesting to reflect on the changes of the University based off of this document. By creating a new outlet of education we are supporting the Thomas Jeffersons view of higher education for the University.

The Universities ability to not only acknowledge the fine arts but sustain it, is a testament to the true foundation of UVA. To combine the arts with military education builds on the schools articulate educational structure. In addition to the arts and sciences, the arts is an important contributor to the development of the human mind.

At first glance, I was curious of the need for languages that only a minority of people spoke, but upon further reading I was surprised by the extent that the sciences meant to the men of that day; seeing that a full understanding of these ancient languages was needed to fully understand the level of science being taught.

According to Census of 1820 and the website Virginia Places, Rockbridge County had a total population of 11,945 and of those 9,333 were white; Albemarle County had a population of 19,750 and of those 9,089 were white; and Augusta County had a population of 16,742 and of those 13,230 were white. I suppose that even though Albemarle did not have the largest population of whites living in the county, it was better accessible for whites to flock to.

I think this part of the article gives us confidence back that University of Virginia is built in fully consideration of the safety of its students and is built for students to gain academic success. During this period that so many students protests and riots about race are taking place, the calling for more care and attention to students life and the condemnation of the lack of student's safety is getting more prevalent, however this part of the university legislature shed a light on regaining student's trust to this university, whose architecture was built on the emphasis of student's safety and academic progress.

The real question is how these lands were decided to be given for University purposes? Did someone contact these owners about their lands to see if they would be willing to be purchased off, were they personally donated by their owners, or were they already on the market? Were the prices raised or lowered depending on their views of Thomas Jefferson?

The Society of the Cincinnati was created by Henry Knox, in May 1783, around the close of the Revolutionary War. The brotherhood aimed to maintain the brotherhood forged between the men who fought and financially support original members; specifically, in providing pensions. The society is long-standing through the passing of membership to the eldest son or a "collateral descendant" (aka nephew, uncle, cousin). Modeling the hierarchy societies in Europe, the Cincinnati Society was criticized for its parallelism to uneven class structure; an antagonizing trait in regards to the new nation's focus on equality among all citizens. In such, Thomas Jefferson wrote to George Washington, the first President General of the society, on April 16, 1784, commenting his own views on the societies values and reputation, then leading up with a four-point structure in which the Society could work to reform its structure and proceedings.
