This line makes it clear that when the University was founded, its initial curriculum seems to resemble the liberal arts school present today. The curriculum seems broad and based on a general education like a bit of math, a bit of language, a bit of literature etc. Thomas Jefferson's idea was to build a basic education for citizens that they can then further build up.

Over the course of the document, Jefferson stresses the notion of morals, virtue, order etc. Throughout the course of my first semester at UVA, I found this aspect of the school to be true. UVA is one of the most trusting and trustworthy, respectful, and virtuous communities I have encountered. Jefferson successfully managed to instill good morals at this school that are still present to this day.

This opening sentence in the beginning of the report is shocking. Prior to reading the report, I was aware of UVA's and its founders backgrounds, however, I did not expect to see a sentence outlining the vitality of this University being exclusive to only white people this early on in the report.

This part of the document really made me realize how much UVA has evolved over the years and how UVA's community really impacted the Charlottesville community as a whole. Prior to the existence of UVA, Charlottesville had no access to a hospital which limited student's medical education immensely (if they wished to pursue medicine.) However, not only did this snippet bring to light the evolution of the university, but also its initial desire to provide their students with a lot of educational freedom in the sense that they wanted their students to be able pursue whatever carrier they chose.
