dent, the University of Virginia .
has remained for over a cen
tury synonomous with great
names in American history. Its
institutions and the very aspect
of its campus call to mind the
famous men who made them
possible and those who continued
to uphold the ideals of its found
ers. -
-Two other Presidents of the
United States, James Madison
and James Monroe, supported
Jefferson in his desire to give
his native state a center of
higher learning. Jefferson was
elected to the office of Rector of
Central college, founded in 1817,
one mile west of Charlottesville.
From this college developed the
present University of Virginia.
Opened in 1825
Although its origin must be
reckoned from 1819 when the
state legislature adopted a re
solution providing for its es
tablishment, the university was
not opened to students until
1825. Since most of the faculty
members were scholars from
Oxford or Cambridge, the first
courses of instruction offered
were typically in the English
educational tradition.
Virginia has the unique record
of not having had a president
until eighty years after its
founding. During that time the
institution was governed direct
ly by the faculty and a chair
man, chosen from that body, in
whom executive powers were
vested. This group was subject
to a Board of Visitors, corres
ponding to trustees, the head of

ITS ANNIVERSARY
Special Program Planned for Occasion
With Mnsic, Refreshments, and

The University "Y" will com

of the birth of Sir George Wil

tional Young Men's Christian
Association, with a special pro
gram in chapel Friday morning

Memorial that night.
Music, refreshments, and a
special speaker for the occasion
have been announced as being on
the program by Bill McKee,
president of the "Y." All stu
dents and townspeople are cor
dially invited to attend the cele
bration in Graham Memorial.
New Gaines in Union Building
The game room of Graham
Memorial has been the recipient
of two" more games that have
been donated by Randolph
McDonald, Inc., of Chapel Hill.
The game room reports that
these are proving very popular
and are appreciated to the ut
most by the students who use
them.
However, a quarter of century
ago, it became apparent that a
member of the faculty could not
assume the double duties of
m-
struction and administration. It
was at this time that the Board
Visitors selected Edwin An-
derson Alderman as first presi-
dent of the school, then almost a
century old. Alderman had for-
merly been president of the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, the

devoted his whole time and
energv to the improvement of
the college. And with few
changes the system inaugurated
by Jefferson has continued to the
present day.
Honor System
One of the most notable
of
these modifications is in itself a
monument to his liberalism. In
1842, Judge Henry St. George
lucker, a member of the law
faculty, introduced the resolu
tion that students taking ex
aminations for distinction and
other honors should not be re
quired to be under the surveil
lance of the customary commit-
tee of three professors -while
doing so. This was the. begin-
