We fondly hope that the instruction which may flow from this institution, kindly cherished, by advancing the minds of our youth with the growing science of the times, and elevating the views of our citizens generally to the practice of the social duties and the functions of self-government, may ensure to our country the reputation, the safety and prosperity, and all the other blessings which experience proves to result from the cultivation and improvement of the general mind.

There is a certain period of life, say from eight to fifteen or sixteen years of age, when the mind, like the body, is not yet firm enough for laborious and close operations. If applied to such, it falls an early victim to premature exertion; exhibiting indeed at first, in these young and tender subjects, the flattering appearance of their being men while they are yet children, but ending in reducing them to be children when they should be men.

By that part of our plan which prescribes the selection of the youths of genius from among the classes of the poor, we hope to avail the state of those talents which nature has sown as liberally among the poor as the rich, but which perish without use, if not sought for and cultivated.

Jefferson creía que las bibliotecas y los libros eran tan esenciales para la educación individual e institucional que diseñó la universidad en torno a su biblioteca. En 1779, en Un proyecto de ley para la difusión más general del conocimiento, Jefferson propuso un sistema de educación pública financiado con impuestos durante 3 años para "todos los niños libres, hombres y mujeres", lo que era una perspectiva inusual para la época. Se les permitió asistir más tiempo si sus padres, amigos o familiares podían pagarlo de forma independiente. En su libro (1785), Jefferson había escrito sus ideas para la educación pública en el nivel elemental. En 1817 propuso un plan para un sistema de educación pública estatal limitada solo para hombres, de acuerdo con los tiempos. Dependía de las escuelas de gramática públicas y de la educación superior de un número limitado de los mejores estudiantes y de aquellos cuyos padres querían pagar por ellos. La universidad iba a ser la piedra angular, disponible solo para los estudiantes mejor seleccionados.

Thomas Jefferson's involvement with and support of education is best known through his founding of the University of Virginia, which he established in 1819 as a secular institution after he left the presidency of the United States. Jefferson believed that libraries and books were so integral to individual and institutional education that he designed the university around its library. In 1779 in "A Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge," Jefferson proposed a system of public education to be tax-funded for 3 years for "all the free children, male and female," which was an unusual perspective for the time period. They were allowed to attend longer if their parents, friends, or family could pay for it independently. In his book Notes on the State of Virginia (1785), Jefferson had scribed his ideas for public education at the elementary level. In 1817 he proposed a plan for a system of limited state public education for males only, in keeping with the times. It depended on public grammar schools, and further education of a limited number of the best students, and those whose parents wanted to pay for them. The university was to be the capstone, available to only the best selected students. Virginia did not establish free public education in the primary grades until after the American Civil War under the Reconstruction era legislature.
