EDUCATION / STATE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA



Our University, four miles distant, gives me frequent exercise, and the oftener, as I direct its architecture. Its plan is unique, and it is becoming an object of curiosity for the traveler. I have lately had an opportunity of reading a critique on this institution in your North American Review of January last, having been not without anxiety to see what that able work would say of us; and I was relieved on finding in it much coincidence of opinion, and even whether criticisms were indulged, I found they would have been obviated had the developments of our plan been fuller.

to John Adams, 15 August 1820
