Those who guide our The University's original administrative plan incorporated the Faculty as an organized body, subordinate to the Board of Visitors, meeting once or twice a year to carry out the programs of the Board and discipline the students. The body was at first presided over by a chairman chosen by and from the Faculty, but the Board soon claimed the right to select the chairman. In the late 1890's the University had become so diverse that this Chairman of the General Faculty, as he was called, was overburdened by the minor problems of each school. It was at this time that the move for reorganization of the faculty began which ended in the establishment of individual schools each with a chairman who represented the school in the General Faculty Meetings. The Chairman of this committee was to be junior to an administrative official, and was to be Dr. Edgar Finley Shannon called either a President or a Chancellor. The Board of Visitors considered this idea for over twelve years, always on the verge of officially creating the office, but never quite able to overcome traditional objections. Finally, on J une 14, 1904, the Board unanimously elected Edwin A. Alderman the first President of the University of Virginia. Guided by President Alderman, the University population grew from six hundred to well over two thousand; an extensive building program was begun, and women were admitted for the first time in 1920. When he died in 1931, he was mourned by the students 'as First President, Sincerest friend and Guiding Genius of the University to which he gave the best part of his life. The second President of the University, J ohn Lloyd Newcombe, moved up from assistant to Dr. Alderman to assume the chair of the presidency until he retired in 1947. During his administration the trend toward expansion continued, and by 1947, there were 5,000 students at the University. The physxcal plant of the University had not been developed nearly quickly enough to serve adequately this many students, even with the new engineering building and library, and it remained for the next president, Dr. Colgate W. Darden, to bring about a balance. A new physics building and a large addition to the hospital gave the sciences more breathing room. Classroom space was multiplied by the new Cabell Hall. New men's dormitories were constructed to cope with a growing enrollment for many years in the future, and a Student Activities building was erected to keep this future body out of the pool halls and Carrolls. Dr. Edgar Finley Shannon was inaugurated fourth President of the University in November, 1959. His goal was not so much expansion and development as it was the guidance of the school in a new direction-as he announced in his inaugural address, . . . I reaffirm the J effersonian tenet that the University of Virginia be not only an exceptional state and regional university but also a great national university. May- we wish him success in this most ambitious project. l0

their like: again? Like any great university, the University of Virginia is influenced by the momentous events and the great men who are part of its epoch. J ust as a university contributes to the culture of which it is a part, it also receives the maximum benefits from that culture. By its nature, a university is a center point around which the cultural activities of an area collect themselves. A student attending the University of Virginia finds himself in the mainstream of his times. While the student will benefit from being at a university only in proportion to how well he avails himself of what it offers, he cannot help being aware that he is somehow part of something significant. He is at once the observer and the material of greatness. It is unlikely that many will be inspired to greatness by observing it, but most who observe it will be affected by it.
