This portion of the report is extremely interesting because it is both ironic and puzzling. Throughout the paper, ideas of bettering mankind, as well as furthering society are key points. However, we must ask, “who is included in this society?”. The most obvious answer being rich white men. The paper goes on to say that education will instill order and virtue in its subjects. This is such a paradox because although white men were the most educated at the time of UVA’s founding, they were also the most brutal. Most owned slaves and although they were not allowed to bring their own slaves to university, they treated the school’s slaves terribly, exhibiting their complete lack of morals. However, the education they received may have been complementary to the way they treated the slaves. The paper praises education as being “handed down for successive and constant accumulation”. Perhaps the university instructed its students in a way to keep racism and the social hierarchy alive. The idea of education gifting “a new man on the native stock” is a blatant lie. In truth, each one of the students were bred to disregard blacks and to treat them mercilessly. The social order and division of classes would continue, and the virtue of the day was to remember one’s role in society. Reading the paper in our times makes the invisible visible. By analyzing the past and knowing what went wrong allows us to see all of the hidden agendas within the report and bring them to life, namely that of disguising racism so much that it became a natural component of institutions.
