Description

In the nearly two centuries because the first building’s completion in Thomas Jefferson’s academical village, programs and facilities at the University of Virginia have been continually expanded and up to date. This second edition of Susan Tyler Hitchcock’s The University of Virginia: A Pictorial History, first published in 1999 and up to date in 2003, traces Mr. Jefferson’s favorite project through an accurately wealthy pageant of images and text. The book’s main chapters, arranged chronologically, follow the upward push of the university from its founding to the accomplishments of John T. Casteen III’s presidency and the appointment of Teresa A. Sullivan as the university’s eighth, and first female, president.

In this second edition, Casteen’s legacy is thought of as, including AccessUVa, the university’s groundbreaking full-need financial aid program; initiatives to put the University of Virginia as a global leader; and major expansion of the physical facilities, including the Arts Precinct, the South Lawn Project, John Paul Jones Arena, the Harrison Institute and Small Special Collections Library, and groundbreaking for the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center. The overall chapter includes an essay at the historic preservation of the Academical Village and looks forward with new president Teresa A. Sullivan as Mr. Jefferson’s university sits poised at the eve of its bicentennial celebration. Highlights include interviews with John T. Casteen III and Teresa A. Sullivan.
