This sentence is interesting to me; the pavilions on the lawn are very stately and large, and perfectly arranged around the lawn with no gaps or extra room. I wonder if Jefferson was operating under the assumption that there would always be a set number of professors and/or classes, which obviously has not been the case as the University has greatly expanded and now a very small fraction of professors employed here can expect to reside in a pavilion.

It is striking to me that these three locations were considered to be the site of UVA, perhaps because each place is so drastically different today. By today's standards, Lexington and Staunton seem to be sleepy little towns in comparison to the vibrant epicenter of culture and life that can be seen in Charlottesville; I wonder how much the University itself and its students have influenced the evolution of this location. It would be interesting to see if the "health and fertility" standards mentioned by the authors are maintained in present day, although I would guess not since the deciding factor between these places was the proximity to the white population.

I wonder if the founders were purposefully ambiguous in using the words 'morals and faculties' or if they had anything particular in mind. It almost seems as though they understood that America's perception of morality would inevitably change throughout the course of the University's history; nevertheless, the hypocrisy is apparent in this line, as most of these men likely owned slaves and certainly supported systems of inequality and inhumanity that strayed far from any any set of clear morals.

These lines are abhorrent in modern society; however, I am not in the least surprised that those deliberating on the specifications of the University took into account the racial demographics of the state. I didn't realize that proximity to the 'white population' would be such a large and important factor, though; it stands out to me that this point is explained in detail while others are lumped under "all other circumstances of the place". I wonder if these men meant wealthy whites who were most likely to attend the college or just the white population in general. Either way, this line is a testament to the casual nature of racism during this time and to how far society has progressed since.
