Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the University of Virginia, 1819-1919, Vol. 1: The Lengthened Shadow of One Man
The history of the University of Virginia, during the one hundred years of its existence, can be related in three different ways. First, as annals, with an inflexible fidelity to the flow of events from year to year; second, as a series of monographs, - the theme of each to be treated separately for the entire interval of time lying between 1819 and 1919; or third, as a succession of periods, - each period growing out of the preceding one, but dissimilar in length, in problems, and in achievements. To present that history in the form of annals would be to introduce unavoidably definite elements of incoherence and desultoriness. To narrate it in the form of a series of independent monographs would be to destroy its fundamental unity, and the close inter-relations of its almost innumerable phases. On the other hand, to consider it as a succession of periods permits of the retention of all the advantages of chronological sequence and of separate exposition subject by subject, with the discursiveness of the one and the disconnection of the other substantially modified.
The history of the University of Virginia lends itself fully to a narration by periods.
