I think this is kind of ironic how different cultures and languages were being taught to elevate students' understanding of the world, but students, faculty, administrators, etc. were socialized to not consider the origins and cultures of African Americans. They refused to even acknowledge that African Americans had cultures and saw them only as property, which is hypocritical of those who aspire to learn the various cultures of that exists in the world. Although these cultures are ancient and falls in the category of history, those who study these cultures that aspire to understand these languages should also be open to the idea that African Americans do have origins, histories, and languages of their own.

This is very interesting to see as a highlight for the creation of the university because it is an established understanding nowadays that college is where one finds him- or herself and experiments with new things. We find out that these values were as prevalent back then as they are now. The act of deliberately putting this vernacular that focuses on one's reflection to being important characteristics to happiness and integrity shows the timeless significance of rumination in life.I find this uplifting because creating habits of reflection is something I highly support and value.

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.
