So, being obviously bored, I’ve been scouring the web as I usually do, and I happened to come upon this [old NY Times article about UVa from March 6, 1866](http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F04E1DF133DE53BBC4D53DFB566838D679FDE). For fellow history buffs like me, it’s interesting to read in its original print form how UVa was perceived back then. (It’s a PDF file.)



What Harvard and Yale Colleges are to the North, so is the University of Virginia to the South…the University may be justly regarded as the seat of learning in the southern portion of the Republic, a collegiate institute surpassed by none other on the Continent of America.
