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 TP WILL OBSERVE ITS ANNIVERSARY Special Program Planned for Occasion With Mnsic, Refreshments, and A Special Speaker. , The University "Y" will com memorate the 111th anniversary of the birth of Sir George Wil liams, founder of the Interna tional Young Men's Christian Association, with a special pro gram in chapel Friday morning Q-n1 on nnon linncp in flrnnnm 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 4- JZ4.:.1 i.,1 -P TT," J; -F I nauinuiidi xivai ui vugmw AUX tne last lorty years.

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.
