Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the University of Virginia, 1818 1919, Vol. 5: The Lengthened Shadow of One Man The period from 1904 to 1919 was, from some points of view, an interval in the history of the University of Virginia as vital in its importance as the formative and experimental period from 1825 to 1842; for it was during this interval that the revolutionary influences which sprang up within the precincts after the collapse of the old order in 1865, reached such a pitch of development as to make certain the indefinite prolongation of the changes which those influences had brought about in the scope and tendencies of the institution. We are now able to perceive and appraise with accuracy the new foundations on which the structure of the University not only rests at this time, but will continue to rest for an unlimited number of years, in spite of modifications and expansions in policy which may be dictated by the course of events. It is the stability of the conditions which exist today, and the assurance of their perpetuation, in fundamentals at least, that justify the fullness with which this period has been treated by us. And there is still another justification in the fact that, during this period, the University of Virginia was a workshop in which all the educational influences then, and still, shaping the welfare of the Southern States were in active and successful operation. The record of the Ninth Period is not simply the record of a single institution of learning, - it is the record of a whole people, for that length of time, in the most important province of their community life.
