knowledge, opened by the advance of
thought, could at any time be admitted
to the academic statehood with as
much ease as a new state is admitted
to the Union. Or, on the other hand,
each existing domain, as 1t extended
it's boundaries, could be subdivided
and new schools be thus created with
out any disturbance Of the academical
union as originally conceived.
Steady Growth Of University.
That this has worked out in prac-
tice just as it promised in theory is
evidenced by the fact that the whole
history of the University of Virginia
has been a continual record of addi-
ton and expansion until now there are
more than two dozen schools. grouped
under six different departments.
In drawing designs for the buildings
of the University of Virginia Jefferson
received much of his inspiration from
the historic designs by Palladio, and
in his adaptation Of these he proved
himself an artist as well as an archi-
tect. The arrangement Of the build
ings has been compared to that Of an
old Italian monastery. The original
group planned and built under Jeffer-
sons personal supervision consists of
four parallel rows of structures and

From the Cambridge flag the ma.

which were a part of the colonial flag
were retained, but the union, instead

stars and stripes.
In 1874, after the admission of Yer

United States be fifteen stripes, al
