every citizen
Here, the term "citizen" needs to be understood differently from how it is interpreted now. In fact, at that time only white males were considered citizens, excluding black slaves and women. Thus, "every citizen" seems like incorporating a wide, broader range of people whereas access to the university was actually very narrow.
The Commissioners for the University of Virginia having met, as by law required at the tavern in Rockfish gap on the blue ridge,
This indicates that the Law required the Commissioners to meet, but it interesting to note that they met in a "tavern". It seems odd that the birth of a university took place in a place as little connected to knowledge and education as a tavern.
Ideology is the doctrine of thought
This is rather interesting to me. It makes me question what kind of Ideologies the students on grounds were being cultivated to have at the time. Where they being cultivated into thinking that their race was the superior race considering the fact that anyone that didn't look like them was a servant, a subject for them.
centrality to the white population of the whole state
The University was primarily designed to educate white people. It thus needed to be in proximity with a large white population.
