THOMAS JEFFERSON, THE third US president, was a powerful advocate of liberty, including freedom of the mind. One of his most enduring projects after leaving office was the University of Virginia, which opened to its first students in 1825. The university, in Charlottesville, is built around Jefferson’s “Academical Village” which is crowned by the library, a building inspired by Rome’s second-century temple, the Pantheon.
In step with Jefferson’s vision, the university’s endowment managers have pursued freedom of the mind and made inspired moves in their efforts to ensure sound and high-yielding investment of the university’s funds which, among other things, provide financial aid for students.
