The University was founded in 1819, the year Spain seceded Florida to the United States, by Thomas Jefferson and the rotunda was the first permanent building on one of Americais truly beautiful campuses.

istorical Homes. Cary Bugg and Linda VVard, VVittiest, and Bren- da Baltimore and john Cronk, Most Happy-Co- Lucky, look at some hand-wrought surveyor's tools made in 1672. In early America there was such a large amount of land to be surveyed that most of the men enjoyed this as a hobby. Both Mr. Peter and Mr. Thomas Jefferson were professional surveyors. The Circa American Chippendale cherry secretary in the background was made during 1747-1760. The antiquity of these ob- jects, and of Shadwell itself, emphasizes the in- congruity of the electrical outlet in the floor- board. From the sports fields to the principal's office, Gary and Linda are known for their quick wit and ready humor. Brenda and John are truly happy-go-lucky. Bob Hathaway and Lillian Attardi, Best Look- ing, and Judy Mawyer and Chuck Grossman, Best Dressed, are standing in front of a fireplace at Shadwell, the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson. Peter Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson,s father, bought the entire Shadwcll plantation for one bowl of Arrack punch, The original house on the Shad- well plantation burned in 1770. The Thomas Jef- ferson Foundation is responsible for the complete reproduction of the Shadwell plantation house, the project costing approximately S80,000. This site is believed to be the site of the original Shadwell plantation house because of the dis- covery of a filled-in cooling cellar. All furnish- ings in the house are authentic period furnishings, although they aren't the actual furnishings that belonged to the Jefferson family. RiP Payne Photos
