WK JEF F ERSONlS IDEAS for the Administration of his University were and are different from those of other Colleges. He wished an equal distribution of power between the interested friends, faculty and students. The Board of Visitors guided by the Rector should attend to all external affairs and act as advisors. The Chairman of the F aculty and his aids should attend to the needs of the llAca- demic Village? Jefferson wished the students to rule their own conduct as soon as they proved able. It was not until after the Civil War that we gained the freedom which both students and administration lovingly guard to-day. This system guided our destinies until 1904 when the late Dr. Alderman was made the first President of the University. Dr. Alderman made many changes for the advancement of our University. He was a great educator and ably carried on the dreams of Mr. Jefferson. We lost the beloved Dr. Alder- man in 1931, but his work is being carried forward by Dr. Newcomb. We all have the greatest faith in our President.
