The degree of importance of having an university central to the white population shocked me, and I didn't know why race was such a big factor since the text could've just said "central to where population is most congregated." The fact that race was at the core of this report was very hard to swallow considering today's society; if racist statements were in any corporation's reports, they are liable to a lawsuit (as a result of the rigorous civil rights movement). Having the university set at the centrality to the white population as a requirement really put this report in a historical context; that the core values of society was race prior to the Civil war and the civil rights movements.

This report just astounded me on the level of detail that it went into. It reminded me of the idea of democratic writing that Danielle Allen discussed in Our Declaration. All of conversations that occurred to plan and organize all of the little details that went into this report had to be conducted. For example, the pricing of the apartments must've been discussed with some financial advisers and architects of the institution. The professionals that planned and built this university was indirectly contributing to the writing of this report, and I found that idea to be very intriguing.
