there are some things to think about in
the way of reforming the methods which
have heretofore prevailed, and which
have been In the past the cause Of much
trouble and embarrassment. One of the
chief sources of trouble has been the
difficulties that have existed between
presidents and faculties, to the injury OF
the Institution.
The Intelllgencer does not propose to
enter into the merits OF Issues that have
arisen, growing out OF the lack of har-
mony In the faculties and between mem
beers OF the faculties and the presidents,
but desires to suggest that II carefully
studied It might be found that the fault
has been In the system which confers too
much executive authority on the presi-
dent. While the Intelligencer does not
contend that this is actually the case, It
commends the system that has prevailed
from its foundation at the University of
Virginia. system established by
Thomas Jefferson, the founder, himself
az worthy of a consideration. Thomas
Jefferson was as strongly opposed to
monarchy In the government OF the great
University he founded as he was to mon
archy in the government OF the state
and he established system according to
which the faculty should have control
over nearly all the affairs of the institu-
ton, except those connected with the ex-
penditure Of money. In accordance with
this system there never has been pres
ident of the University OF Virginia.
In the August number of Frank Lee
lies Magazine, there is an interesting
artlcla on the University of Virginia by
Richard Heath Dabney, which shows
how well Jefferson's plan has worked to
this day. The plan was modelled after
that of the German universities. Mr.
jefferson was determined TO get the
ablest specialists, says the article, to be
produced az professors, and he was
equally determined that these men
should manage their own affairs without
subsection to one-man power. The Uni
versity, therefore, has no president, but
Chairman OF the faculty, annually
elected by the board Of regents, and en-
trusted with the executive functions
OF the institution.
Each professor IA at the head Of an "in-
dependent school," and. being irremov-
able except by a two-thIrds vote of the
regents, or board of visitors" as 1t is
called, can arrange the work Of that
school according to his own judgment.
And who can say" the article contln-
ues. that the high tone of manllnees,
uprlghtness and honor, which has ever
characterized the students, is not due In
part to their consciousness of the fact
that the professors who teach them are
not the humble vassals Of a lord. but free
and independent men?"
Another system that prevails at the
University of Virginia is the elective
