  • For the Class of 1968, for West Point, and for Future Generations of Cadets
    This is a great moment – for the Class of 1968, for West Point, and for future generations of cadets. Jefferson Hall Library and Learning Center has transformed the look and feel of our academic area. Since the very first day it opened about three weeks ago —it has been teeming with cadets and faculty, creating an incredible positive energy that’s exciting to witness and be a part of. This moment —in particular— is a great moment, because it ties together a part of our academy history that isn’t well known. The statue we are about to unveil will mark Thomas Jefferson in the memory of every person who enters this Class of 1968 rotunda, and it will indelibly tie Thomas Jefferson to West Point. We call COL Thayer the Father of the Military Academy---- but it was President Jefferson who was the Founder. Jefferson was initially skeptical (some even say opposed) to the idea of a Military Academy. His boss, President George Washington, was in favor. Jefferson’s experience was with the professional armies of Europe, and he feared that a military academy would equal an elite Army—where power was given rather than earned. As a man of a unique vision, he knew that a fledgling nation needed to be embraced by its citizens, and he was cautious that a ruling elite might be swayed to preserve their own status thru military power. I suspect that a man who believed that every man has a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness could not support elitism or institutions founded on that principle in good conscience either.

    THE CHARLOTTESVILLE-UVA-ALBEMARLE COUNTY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER IS SEEKING AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ABOUT ALBEMARLE COUNTY Settled just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains in central Virginia, Albemarle County is one of the most desirable locations in Virginia and in the nation, with an excellent school system, low taxes, low crime and unemployment rates, a skilled and educated workforce and a wealth of cultural, historic and recreational amenities in a beautiful setting. Known worldwide for Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello, the County surrounds the city of Charlottesville and shares the University of Virginia campus. Home to over 105,000 people, the County offers a high quality of life with breathtaking scenery, a vibrant community and a thriving economic outlook. The County enjoys a strong economy and a healthy business presence. Albemarle has a strong start-up and small business environment as well, with more than 95% of the County’s business establishments employing fewer than 50 employees. The County’s strong public school system and access to institutions of higher learning like the University of Virginia and Piedmont Virginia Community College provide access to a skilled and highly competent workforce. Albemarle County Public Schools provide premier educational services to over 13,700 students enrolled in pre-K through high school. Boasting a 94.3% on-time graduation rate, the County also offers computers to every student at the middle and high school level and touts small class sizes. On the cutting edge of modern public education, it is also expected by 2019 that every public school student will be connected to the School Division’s server for internet connectivity.

An Analysis of Techniques Used to Manage Historic Open Spaces on Two Suburban American University Campuses Abstract As more and more Americans are attending higher educational institutions, the built environment of these places is becoming relevant to a larger number of people. To many graduates familiar with a university, its ensemble of buildings and spaces have the ability to stir up a sense of personal meaning associated with a past era in their life. It is important to preserve these campuses, by maintaining resources that already exist and protecting them from inappropriate change that would diminish their integrity. The physical environment of a university is often an icon of the school. The school's community as well as the public associates the architecture and landscape of a school as part of its identity.
