This quotation talks about the importance of higher education in relation to one being as American as possible. By getting a higher education, you can adequately own and run your land and any other business you wish to indulge in. Education, according to this document was also a means of instilling in the youths moral values that would make them better people. However, with the emphases on "citizen", that makes me wonder whether people of color were ever going to be included at all? Considering the time this institution was founded, "citizen" was only applicable to the white male American that owned land and property.

This quotation insights us on the aspect of learning that the University would most focus on teaching: Math and science. In focusing in these areas, they would be able to compete and hopefully exceed other nations in advancement. These areas of studies would enable the younger generations invent things that would not only make life easy for themselves but also for their parents ( and the older people) in essence. Attaining proficiency in math and science would make these youths satisfied and content with their accomplishments and contributions to bettering the America they know.

Whats quite fascinating about this short but significant phrase is its location. Its not apart of the section that talks about people that will be staying on grounds, working there or of the likes, rather they are placed in the section that talks about land, property, and other material things.

This sentence was extremely fascinating to me. This statement implies that the decision to have the location of the University where it is now is primarily because of how close it was to a large population of white people. This maybe the reason why UVA continues to serve predominately white student population.
