At Washington, D. C., a very handsome memorial was dedicated to his mem- ory. Yet the memorials he would doubtless prefer are the living monu- ments of the University of Virginia and the great public-school system he helped to establish. Thomas Iefferson was as Ameri- can as his background, and that was quite American. He was born on the frontier in Western Virginia, on land which his father had personally cleared, in a region where there were practically no white settlers. He was thus a frontiersman, and not a mansion-bred aristocrat, al- though his Mother came from the eminent Randolph family. The fron- tier taught him the virtues of self- reliance, common sense, and, above all, a deep respect for the other fellow. The first thing that struck people about Iefferson was his size, the sec- ond, his carrot-red hair. Six feet two and a half inches in height, he was taller than George Washington, but not quite so massive. Thin and muscular, somewhat gangly and long-legged, he was a little awkward in his movements. His complexion was ruddy, weather-beaten, the skin of a man who spent hours daily out- doors on horseback. After having attended an English school and a Latin school, he entered William and Mary College. At the end of two years and one month, he left college but he stayed at Wil- liamsburg to study law. Although he disliked the profession and its jargon, nothing he undertook could be mediocre and so he became a suc- cessful lawyer. ln 1769 he began to level off the ground for Monticello. Thereupon he became his own architect, engin- eer, construction foreman, cabinet- maker, and landscape artist. In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton. Of the six child- ren born to them, only three survis rd their Mother who died ten years after the marriage. In Iune 1775, he attended the Sec- ond Continental Congress in Phila- delphia. Immediately he was put on a committee to draw up a declaration of causes for taking up arms against Great Britain, but Congress adjourn- ed because it could not agree on this document. Returning to Congress on May 13, 1776, he was chosen one of a committee of five to write the Declaration of Independence, which was unanimously adopted on Iuly the fourth. As legislator, his revision of the Virginia code in 1779 became a mod- el for all states from that time. Soon after, Iefferson was elected Governor of Virginia and was faced with ter- rific economic and military problems. The British troops, under Benedict lContinued on page 731 1943 ir
