The University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA, one of the nation's top-ranked universities, was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson, former US president and Virginia governor. March 1825, the University of Virginia opened to serve its first 123 students.

Thomas Jefferson was a living legacy among University students and faculty. Each Sunday, he hosted students for dinner at Monticello. Among those students was Edgar Allan POE, a University student in 1826. Jefferson died July 4, 1926.

By the late 1850s, the University was the "pride of Virginia" and the "head of Southern colleges." Courses in engineering had been added to those in liberal arts, medicine, and law, available from the beginning.

Pavilions - Jefferson vision of the college experience was an "academical village," a place where shared learning infused daily life. He developed plans for ten such Pavilions-stately faculty homes with living quarters and classrooms. Each Pavilion was identified with a subject to be studied and inhabited by the professor who taught that subject.
The Rotunda - At the head of the common area was the Rotunda, housing the main library. Jefferson's design for the Rotunda echoed the design of the Pantheon in Rome. The Rotunda was destroyed by a major fire in 1895 and subsequently rebuilt.
