    Thomas Jefferson and the Ideology of Democratic Schooling James Carpenter (Binghamton University) Abstract I challenge the traditional argument that Jefferson’s educational plans for Virginia were built on mod- ern democratic understandings. While containing some democratic features, especially for the founding decades, Jefferson’s concern was narrowly political, designed to ensure the survival of the new republic. The significance of this piece is to add to the more accurate portrayal of Jefferson’s impact on American institutions.

  • Historical Information Sheet for a UGS Trial Tour Ü You Are Not Required to Know Or Include Every Fact on This Sheet
    Historical Information Sheet for a UGS Trial Tour ü You are not required to know or include every fact on this sheet. Please spend more time practicing your trial tour than memorizing every fact. It’s impossible to include all this in a 15 min. tour anyway. ü You are encouraged to observe an actual historical tour. Then pick the facts and stories from both the tour and this factsheet that interest you to craft a unique, cohesive tour that shows off your personality. ü Feel free to include material from your own independent research, but that is certainly not obligatory. I. The Founding of the University Jefferson, as part of his lifelong pursuit for the advancement of public education, sought to found a new university based on “the illimitable freedom of the human mind,” where any subject imaginable could be studied. 1816 Central College, Jefferson’s original plan for an institution of higher education in Charlottesville (so named due to its proposed location at the then geographic center of the state of Virginia), is chartered. 1817 Construction of Central College began when, in the presence of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, the cornerstone of Pavilion VII was laid. 1818 The Virginia General Assembly passed a bill to charter a state university. 1819 The University of Virginia is founded when Central College is selected as the site for the state university. 1825 On March 7, the first students arrive for classes, and Jefferson lives to see “the hobby of [his] old age” open its doors. 1826 Jefferson, and coincidentally John Adams, both die on July 4, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
