FOUNDED
BY
THOMAS JEFFERSON.

"A SYSTEM OF GENERAL INSTRUCTION, WHICH SHALL REACH EVERY DESCRIPTION
OF OUR CITIZENS FROM THE RICHEST TO THE POOREST, AS IT WAS
THE EARLIEST, SO WILL IT BE THE LATEST OF ALL PUBLIC CONCERNS IN WHICH
I SHALL PERMIT MYSELF TO TAKE AN INTEREST."

"I AM CLOSING THE LAST SCENE OF MY LIFE BY FASHIONING AND FOSTERING
AN ESTABLISHMENT FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THOSE WHO COME AFTER
US. I HOPE THAT ITS INFLUENCE ON THEIR VIRTUE, FREEDOM, FAME, AND
HAPPINESS WILL BE SALUTARY AND PERMANENT."
