Book Description
In 1905, as the University of Virginia inaugurated him as its first president, the revered southern educator Edwin Anderson Alderman proposed an education school, despite the thriving existence of normal teachers' colleges, primarily female, throughout the state. John D. Rockefeller Sr. donated $100,000 in support, and the Curry Memorial School of Education was born.In the century since, the Curry School of Education has grown and solidified, struggled and diversified, and raised its expectations and its visibility. It has steered a dedicated course through the challenges of depression, war, student disaffection, and faculty debate by holding true to the visions of Jefferson and Alderman. Always attuned to and often leading the discussion about current educational theories, Curry School faculty, students, and graduates represent the evolution of American education during the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.From its original founding in 1905 to the visions it is now creating for the teachers and children of tomorrow, the Curry School of Education has a distinguished and significant history. In this centennial volume, Eleanor Vernon Wilson chronicles the decisions, responses, programs, initiatives, and accomplishments that together form the panoramic history of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Centennial of the University of Virginia: 1819-1921; The Proceedings of the Centenary Celebration, May 31 to June 3, 1921 The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson. The celebration of its one-hundredth anniversary was delayed from 1919 to 1921 because of disturbed world conditions following the Great War. Prior to the Centennial there appeared the monumental History of the University of Virginia, by Philip Alexander Bruce, LL.D., the notable offering of a distinguished alumnus and historian; and coincident with that event was published a volume of poems, The Enchanted Years, contributed in honor of the occasion by poets of America and Great Britain. Shortly before the Centennial Celebration, there was shown on the moving-picture screen in Virginia and other states a series of important events and noteworthy scenes in the history of the University from the days of Jefferson and Poe to the present. The following pages set forth in order the proceedings of that historic occasion which covered four days, May 31-June 3, 1921. Most of the addresses delivered, a few representative greetings, and the text of the Centennial Pageant are included, together with a number of illustrations which will make more vivid to the reader certain memorable scenes. While the volume is primarily a record of the Centennial Celebration, it is in a larger sense an interpretation of the spirit of an institution through a hundred years of service to State and Nation.

Book Description
The definitive treatment of Mr. Jefferson's favorite institution, with an updated section on entering the twenty-first century. In the nearly two centuries since the first building's completion in Thomas Jefferson's academical village, programs and facilities at the University of Virginia have been continually expanded and updated. The four years since the first publication of The University of Virginia: A Pictorial History have been no exception to that tradition: science and technology, athletics, public service, international programs, business, and the arts are just a few of the current growth areas at Mr. Jefferson's university. When the Board of Visitors approved a new master plan for growth and development in 1999--and the capital campaign of 2000 supported its ambitious outline with a $1.4 billion purse--they set in motion massive upgrades at the university. A South Lawn complex and "groundswalk" to reconnect the sprawling areas of the university, a new special collections library, expanded.

Pages : 398
Book Description
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterwork of Thomas Jefferson, the "Academical Village" at the heart of the University of Virginia has long attracted the attention of visitors and scholars alike. Yet today Jefferson’s original structures make up only a small fraction of a campus comprising over 1,600 acres. The Law School at the University of Virginia traces the history of one of the eight original schools of the University to study the development of the University Grounds over nearly two hundred years. In this book, Philip Mills Herrington relates the remarkable story of how the Law School and the University have used architecture to reconcile a desire for progress with a veneration for the past. In addition to providing a fascinating history of one of the oldest and most influential law schools in the United States, Herrington offers a valuable case study of the ways in which American universities have constructed, altered, and enhanced the built environment in response to the ever-changing demands of higher education and campus life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Students of the University of Virginia: A Semi-Centennial Catalogue, With Brief Biographical Sketches The reader is respectfully requested to remember, that the volume before him contains ten thousand names and over a hundred thousand statements of facts. Errors must needs occur in a compilation of this nature. The com pilers are willing to take their. Share of the responsibility, but not more than their share. A few mistakes may be credited to the printer, who has always to bear his burden. But the majority of errors will be found upon investigation not real errors, but misapprehensions, that can be retraced to 'the persons who furnished the information here presented. Many wrote of kinsmen and friends, unconscious of the bias that changed a Colonel into a General or an Assistant Surgeon into a Surgeon. Others relied too much on frail memory, and especially in questions relating to the early years of the University, mistook dates and forgot first names, or confounded brothers and namesakes with each other. Even where former students gave an account of themselves, memory did not always serve faithfully. And many a letter contained the strange statement, I was at the University, I believe, in 1835 or Nor must the fact be overlooked that not a few letters have ap peared, written by men who claim to have won honors at the University and to be most warmly attached to the Institu tion and their old teachers - but who, upon inquiry, are found never to have been entered on the University Record. Even the names of students offered an occasion for apparent errors. Some have changed their family name in after-life, others dropped or adopted Christian names - an eminent Western statesman, anxious to be correctly recorded, wrote that he had thus changed his first name three times in his life. The matriculation-book constantly shows certain names to assume new shapes in subsequent years; e.g., the Field of one year becomes a Feild in the second, the Thomson 1 Thompson, and the Sampson a Samson. Where there are such countless sources of possible error, great indulgence will, it is hoped, he practised and much allowance be made for apparent mistakes.
