Through a rich pageant of images and text, this volume traces the growth of Thomas Jefferson's favorite project, the University of Virginia. Chapters are arranged chronologically and proceed from the school's founding, through its subsequent rise, to John T. Casteen III's initiative for a university of the 21st century. Interwoven with this history are sections displaying the places and themes that have endeared the university and its Charlottesville home to generations of students who appeared in everything from the uniform of the 1830s to the "bare feet and Weejuns" of the 1970s. Extensively illustrated with color and b&w photographs. Oversize: 9.25x12
