11. Ibid. At about the same time, Jefferson also failed to win support for another plan—to emancipate slaves and give some education to those who would one day be free. He informally proposed the scheme to a member of the General Assembly, but legislators rejected it. Except as laborers and servants, blacks never figured into any of his designs for a university. Despite his revolutionary ideas about freedom and equality, Jefferson considered blacks mentally inferior humans and owned slaves until the day he died.

4. One can imagine the effect Poe’s fantastic charcoal images would have on a visitor to the small dorm room. Poe must have stood on a chair or his bed, neck craned, to sketch the life-size image of Lord Byron on the ceiling. Did the university scrub the drawings from the walls after he left the school or are the elaborate figures still there under layers of paint applied over nearly two centuries?
