OF ARTS AND SCIENCES He wished to maintain the principle of separation of church and state, and for that reason he preferred to employ only laymen. Finally eight faculty members were obtained. Five of these came from England. The other three came from the United States, of these, John P. Emmet was engaged to teach natural history; Henry St. George Tucker, moral philoso- phy; and John Lomax, law. Tucker was largely responsible for the institution of the Honor System in 1842. Continued growth for over a century has resulted in the establishment of various professional schools within the University. In addition to the College of Arts and Sciences, there are now eight other schOOISeLaw, Medicine, Engi- neering, Education, Graduate Studies, Architecture, Grad- uate Business Administration, and CommerCPthe last three having been established in 1954. As a result of the separation of the University into various professional schools, degrees from the College are awarded only in the liberal and fine arts, and in the natural sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences is by far the largest of the schools. It has twenty-six departments of instruction, a full time faculty of 160, and 1,600 students of its own, in addition to students from other schools. The College is divided into four Associations, each with its own Dean and two Resident Advisors. This plan, insti- tuted last year, is designed to give to the students of the College a closer relationship among themselves and the faculty.

THE COLLEGE In 1816 Thomas JeHetson began making plans for the establishment of Central College near the village of Chat- lottesville in Albemarle County, Virginia. Securing the aid of James Madison and James Monroe, Jefferson pushed his ideal forward. In 1819 the General Assembly of Vir- ginia granted a charter to the College under the name of the University of Virginia and made Thomas JeEetson the first Rector of the Board of Visitors. Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe collected nearly $40,000, purchased a site for the University, and drafted a plan for the uacademic village to be constructed. The actual plan was only a slight modification of the one Jefferson drew up in 1816. Mr. Jefferson faced a real difficulty in securing a capable faculty.
