Serenity And Elegance
The outward signs of the Jeffersonian
tradition can be deceptive.
The serenity and elegance of the
buildings and grounds produce an
atmosphere easily mistaken for
Southern indolence; an impression
that the University is a languid
holdover from the days before
Appomattox, a pleasant but hardly
stimulating haven where scions of
the First Families of Virginia pass
four agreeable years to acquire the
one diploma that certifies them as
gentlemen.
